Why a specialist

Why London restaurants work with a restaurant-only agency

With so much choice on every street, diners compare before they book. We plan around that: ads timed to booking windows, reviews answered quickly and campaigns built around the occasions that fill London tables.

2014

Restaurants only, since 2014

We work only with restaurants and food businesses, so we know the booking windows, the quiet nights and the platforms you already use.

No cut of your ad spend

Ad spend goes straight to Google and Meta from your own accounts. Our fee covers managing up to £10,000 a month.

£599

100%

Yours to keep

Your domain, hosting, ad accounts, social profiles and data stay in your name, whatever happens.

Across the city

Restaurant marketing across London

London isn't one market. A Mayfair dining room, a Brixton burger spot and a Hoxton BBQ joint get found in different ways, so each plan starts with how people actually search and book in your area.

Outside London too: we work with restaurants across the UK, from Windsor and Reading to Leeds and Doncaster. See every case study

Questions

London restaurant marketing FAQs

Do you only work with London restaurants?

No. We work with restaurants across the UK, with clients in London, Leeds, Doncaster, Windsor, Bedford and beyond.

Is London more expensive to advertise in?

Usually, because more restaurants bid on the same searches. That's why we track every call and booking, so your budget goes where it pays back.

How long does restaurant SEO take in London?

Our typical time to page one is 4 to 6 months for a local area and 6 to 9 months for a city-wide or competitive area. Greyhound Cafe reached page 1 for "Thai restaurant Fitzrovia" in six months. Nobody can guarantee a ranking, and yours depends on your area and competition.

Do you take a percentage of ad spend?

No. Ad spend is charged by Google and Meta directly to your account, and our fee covers managing up to £10,000 a month in ad spend.

Is there a minimum contract?

Found and Found Plus run month to month with one month's written notice. Full Service, Group and any plan covering more than one location have a 3-month minimum, then continue month to month.

Can you shoot content at our London restaurant?

Yes. Content is shot on location with your food, your space and your team. Full Service includes a content shoot every two months, and shoots can be added to any plan.

We have several sites in London. Can you help?

Yes. Our Group plan, from £4,999 a month, is built for two or more sites, with city-wide SEO, email automations, multi-site reporting and fortnightly strategy sessions. Red Dog Saloon grew from four to six restaurants during our time together.

Who owns the ad accounts and website?

You do. Your domain, hosting, ad accounts, social profiles and data stay in your name.
