Ike’s Love and Sandwiches Accelerates Brand Expansion through SOCi’s Data-Backed CoMarketing Cloud for Multi-Location Enterprises

Ike’s Love and Sandwiches wanted to support brand growth across almost one hundred locations while improving Google ratings, customer sentiment, and local search performance for each restaurant. The company needed a platform that could pull review data, update store hours, provide accurate local landing pages, and help manage review responses without adding heavy work for the operations team.

SOCi’s CoMarketing Cloud, including Local Pages, Reviews, and Listings Advanced, gave Ike’s Love and Sandwiches direct API integrations with Google and Yelp, along with reporting and review response support. With SOCi, the brand reported a 77% increase in total Google Business Profile views year over year to 16.3 million views, a 63% increase in Google local search visibility, a 57% increase in leads from Google Business Profiles, a 42% increase in Google Direction Requests to 112k in a quarter, a 96% year over year increase in Google Map views, and a 52% increase in website visits.
