How we run Google Ads for restaurants
Near-me and cuisine searches
“Italian restaurant near me” and “brunch downtown” are decided in minutes. Tight radius targeting, Maps visibility and ads that show your hours and menu highlights help you win those moments.
Reservations, orders and calls
We track reservation clicks, online orders, calls and direction requests, so you can see which campaigns bring diners in the door and which drive takeout.
Catering and private dining
Catering and private events are high-value inquiries with a longer decision. Separate campaigns and a simple inquiry form capture office managers and party planners searching ahead.

Frequently asked questions
Do you promote catering?
Yes. Catering and private events get separate campaigns.
Can you track reservations?
Yes, where your reservation system supports tracking.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Paid ads (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, paid social and ChatGPT Ads) are month to month with no long-term contracts. SEO has a 3-month minimum because organic results take time to build.

Our paid ad campaigns average a 12–16% conversion rate across accounts. That is an average, not a guarantee; your results depend on your market, offer, budget and website. We set up conversion tracking first so you can see exactly what the campaigns produce.
