Client

Chef Sun's Noodle & Dumpling — regional Asian restaurant brand, two DFW locations (McKinney & Plano).

Partner Since

June 2025 — Insightra's longest-running account and anchor client.

Engagement

Combined Google + social retainer with full-service content production.

Market

Dallas–Fort Worth — competitive local restaurant landscape.

The Challenge

Great food, limited reach.

Chef Sun's had the product — authentic noodles and dumplings with a loyal base — but visibility didn't match the quality on the plate. In a saturated DFW dining market, strong word-of-mouth alone wasn't translating into discoverability for new diners searching online or scrolling social.

The brand needed a system: show up when people search, convert that attention into reservations, and build a social presence that reflected the quality of the kitchen.

The Approach

One integrated system across search and social.

Rather than treating Google and social as separate efforts, Insightra ran them as a single growth engine — search captures intent, social builds the brand, and content production fuels both.

  • Local SEO to dominate Google Search & Maps in both markets
  • A live Google Ads Search campaign on the Plano location, optimized for conversions during dining hours
  • Full Instagram refresh and ongoing content campaigns
  • In-house print and social asset production

Recent Work

Six-week entrées & desserts campaign.

A rolling content campaign spotlighting signature dishes — Dry Pot, Crispy Fish with Thai Chili Sauce, Chocolate Dumplings, and Crispy Milk — delivered as coordinated print posters and Instagram templates.

Each dish gets a consistent visual treatment across in-store print and social, reinforcing the brand while driving in-person visits.
