Hatam Restaurant needed more than a website redesign. They needed a digital platform that could better showcase their Persian cuisine, make catering and private party requests easier, and help more customers throughout Orange County discover the restaurant online.
Hatam Restaurant
Building a Better Restaurant Website and Growing Local Visibility Across Google and AI Search
A better website created the foundation.
SEO created strong local search visibility.
Ongoing development and support allow the website to continuously evolve with the restaurant.
We completely redesigned and rebuilt the website in WordPress, created new custom functionality for catering and private parties, improved the menu experience, and developed an ongoing SEO and AI Search Optimization strategy.
Website + Custom Development + SEO + AI Search Optimization
The result is a website that continues to evolve with the restaurant while building strong visibility for valuable local searches, including Persian food and catering related searches throughout Orange County.
The Challenge
The website needed to do more than display a menu.
Hatam already had an established restaurant and customer base, but its website needed to better represent the business and become a more useful tool for attracting and serving customers.
Customers needed an easier way to explore the menu, order catering, inquire about private parties, and find the restaurant through Google and emerging AI search platforms.
At the same time, the website needed to be flexible enough to continuously evolve as Hatam identified new customer and business needs.
Building the Right Foundation
We redesigned and developed the entire Hatam website in WordPress with usability, search visibility, and long term flexibility in mind.
Instead of creating a standard restaurant website, we developed a platform that supports several important parts of the business.
Turning the Website Into a Business Tool
One of the main goals was making the website more useful for customers and the restaurant team.
We developed a custom online catering ordering experience that allows customers to explore catering options and submit their orders directly through the website.
We also created dedicated private party booking functionality to make it easier for customers planning celebrations and events to connect with Hatam.
Turning Services Into Search Opportunities
After launching the redesigned website, our work continued with an ongoing monthly SEO strategy.
Rather than focusing only on broad restaurant searches, we optimize Hatam around specific searches connected to what potential customers are actually looking for.
This includes searches related to:
Search Visibility, Shown in Context
Google Search Visibility
The ongoing SEO strategy has helped Hatam achieve strong organic visibility across many valuable local searches.
Hatam currently ranks particularly well for Persian catering related searches throughout Orange County, appearing in number 1 and number 2 positions for multiple targeted searches.
These rankings are especially valuable because someone searching specifically for Persian catering is not simply browsing restaurant options. They may be actively planning a wedding, corporate event, private party, family gathering, or other event requiring catering.


Visibility in ChatGPT and AI Search
Hatam’s visibility is also expanding beyond traditional Google search.
Our ongoing AI Search Optimization work is designed to help platforms such as ChatGPT better understand Hatam’s cuisine, services, location, catering options, and overall relevance when responding to local restaurant and catering questions.
The Website Continues to Evolve
Hatam’s website is not treated as a finished project.
It continues to evolve.
We provide ongoing website support and maintenance, resolve issues when they arise, improve existing functionality, update content, and develop new improvements based on the restaurant’s changing needs.
When the Hatam team identifies a new opportunity or something that could make the customer experience better, we can adapt the website accordingly.
At the same time, we continue improving SEO, identifying new search opportunities, strengthening existing content, and expanding Hatam’s visibility across traditional and AI driven search.
Why Let's Design For You
Website + Custom Development + SEO + AI Search Optimization

The result is a digital platform designed not simply to look better, but to help more customers discover Hatam and make it easier for them to take the next step.
