Digital marketing for restaurants, done on Google, puts your venue in front of diners searching Maps for somewhere to eat, then sends them to book or order on your own website. I do it with a Google Business Profile set up for a venue, a website that carries your menu and booking button, and Google Ads for functions and events. Every booking and order is tracked, so you can see what Google brings in.
Your Google Business Profile is your restaurant's front window.
Diners often meet your listing on Google Maps before they see your website. I set it up to answer every question a hungry person has, right there on the map.
Your menu, kept current
Dishes and prices on the profile, plus a link to the full menu on your site, updated whenever the menu changes.
A reserve button
Your booking link on the profile, so a diner can lock in a table for Friday without leaving Google.
An order link to your site
Takeaway ordering that lands on your own website, so the order and the customer's details stay with you.
Photos that sell the table
Real photos of your dishes, your room and your entrance, refreshed as the menu and the seasons change.
Business Profile optimisation is $750+GST, once. Google Maps syndication runs alongside for calls and bookings from Maps, at $800+GST a month for 1 or $1,450+GST for 2, sold separately. See how my local SEO works.
Own your direct orders and bookings.
Delivery apps and booking platforms help new diners discover you. Your own website is where they come back to, and every order there keeps its full margin.
Takeaway ordered direct
An order button on your site and your Google listing, so regulars order from you in a few taps, with every order click tracked.
Tables booked on your site
Keep the booking system you already like and embed it on your own website. Each booking is recorded as a conversion, and Google Ads can bid towards it.
Function enquiries straight to you
A functions page with room sizes, set menus and an enquiry form. On a quiet night, 1 birthday or work dinner can fill the room.
The 3 services that fill tables and bring diners to you direct.
Maps, ads and a website that takes the booking, all run by me.
Local SEO & Google Maps
Your Business Profile set up as above, plus website pages for your cuisine, suburb and functions, so diners searching 'Thai in Norwood' find what they need to choose you.

The same playbook, proven on real local businesses.
A restaurant competes on the same Google Maps search as any local business. Here's what my Maps-first approach did for 2 clients who live on bookings and walk-ins.
Fine Automotive Detailing, Adelaide
Ali Haque's listing for “car detailing Adelaide” moved from position 9 to 2 on Google Maps in month 1, and to 1 in month 2, within a 5km radius. About 3 months in, he opened his own workshop in Mile End.
Mark L Hair, Melbourne
Mark Laird came to me asking for Instagram ads. I built him a local SEO strategy around “hair colour specialist Melbourne” with Google Maps syndication, and it made an impact within 1 month.
