The Partnership

Since 2022, Perel Web Studio has served as the main digital partner for Gare Maritime Food Market, managing their complete online presence for Brussels’s premier multi-vendor food hall at the iconic Tour & Taxis location.

The Challenge - A multi-vendor food hall with 10 different food concepts needed more than a website. They needed a digital partner to handle complex e-commerce (vouchers), event promotion, corporate packages, SEO optimization, and ongoing custom development for special initiatives.

SEO Disaster to #1 Ranking - The site was a mess: too many indexed pages, broken schemas, poor structure. We deindexed unnecessary content, rebuilt event and product schemas completely, and achieved #1 ranking in Brussels for the competitive keyword “Foodmarket.”

Unexpected E-Commerce Success - The voucher system was initially conceived as a “side kick” feature. Through semi-automated integration with their external ordering system and custom PDF voucher design, online sales have far exceeded expectations and become a significant revenue stream.

The Solution

Custom Voucher System - Semi-automated import from their external ordering system into WooCommerce, managing inventory and codes while delivering beautifully designed custom PDF vouchers to customers.

Event Calendar System - WordPress custom post types power a flexible event management system. We rebuilt all event schemas for Google, ensuring proper display in search results and event discovery features.

Corporate Package Pages - Dedicated pages with custom inquiry forms capturing all necessary details (event date, number of people, preferences) to convert corporate inquiries into bookings.

Multilingual - Three-language support via Gtranslate.io for Brussels’s international audience.

Custom Development - Lilanga created sophisticated CSS/JavaScript animations including letter-wrapping effects and zigzag heading animations while maintaining the modern minimalist aesthetic.

The Results

#1 SEO Ranking - Through strategic SEO optimization, achieved top position in Brussels for “Foodmarket” after comprehensive cleanup and schema rebuilds.

Revenue Surprise - Online voucher sales exceeded all expectations, transforming from a minor feature to a significant revenue driver.

Digital Partnership Value - As their main digital partner, we provide ongoing optimization, content creation, special event support, and custom solutions as their needs evolve.

Multi-Vendor Success - Successfully showcasing 10 different food and beverage kiosks while maintaining cohesive brand experience and the iconic Tour & Taxis location advantage.
