Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace growth playbook

Uncle Giuseppe's is growing fast in the real world: Greenvale opened in August, Levittown is next, about 1,000 hires are planned, and Italian Sushi reached national TV. Online, the stores are harder to find than they should be.

The online store publishes each product 13 times with store-prefixed capital titles and no canonical tags, store pages lack store markup, recipes send readers to a store picker instead of the products, and the newest stores are thin or missing online. This playbook fixes those first, then builds loyalty, direct dinner orders, corporate catering, video and a digital opening kit for each new store.

Growth Score

Biggest Opportunity

Make the online store and store pages as findable as the stores are busy: one ranked page per product, store markup and recipe-to-cart links turn existing demand into online orders.

Biggest Risk

Expansion stretches the team, and if new stores open with thin online catalogues and missing forms, shoppers default to Stop & Shop replacements, Wegmans or delivery apps.

Start here

The three moves to make first. Each one is written up in full below.

Your online store publishes every product 13 times: give each item one page Google can rank
Open Search Console for order.uncleg.com and count how many product pages are indexed and which store versions get impressions.
High impact First result in 6 weeks
Add store markup to the 14 location pages so Google and AI assistants read hours, phone and online ordering
Add the markup to the Melville flagship page and test it in Google's Rich Results Test.
High impact First result in 1 month
Make "Shop for ingredients" on 138 recipes open the actual products, starting with Italian Sushi
Link the four Italian Sushi ingredients to their products.

This week 7

Quick wins with a clear first action.

order.uncleg.com has a separate catalogue per store, so the same item lives at 13 addresses: Melville alone lists 26,730 product URLs and North Babylon 24,147, with identical item IDs. Every copy is titled with the store name in capitals ("MELVILLE - PIRUCREAM DOUBLE CHOCOLATE", "NORTH BABYLON - PIRUCREAM DOUBLE CHOCOLATE"), and none has a canonical tag or product markup. Google sees hundreds of thousands of near-duplicate pages and has to guess which one to show, so searches like "fresh mozzarella Long Island" or a specialty import by name rarely land on an Uncle G's product.

How Programmable can help

Where an idea in this playbook is something Programmable builds or runs, it's listed here with what we'd do. Everything else is yours to run.

Info

Turn the research into a list you can act on

These ideas start with finding the right companies. Info finds them and the right person at each, researches every one and drafts the outreach, then asks before it sends.

Build this list in Info for idea #22 (opens programmable.info in a new tab)

New accounts: 100,000 free credits with code BETA100K

Find the companies

Talk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event

Digital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

Make a demo

Other companies we have researched, each read from what they are hiring for.

See every playbook and website review
