AI Marketing for Sydney Restaurants
A done-for-you marketing engine built specifically for Sydney restaurants. We rank you in Google Maps, AI search and Instagram — then drive direct bookings into your reservation book. Setup + monthly retainer, no lock-in.
Why Most Sydney Restaurants Lose Customers Online
If your phone isn't ringing as much as it should, one of these is usually why.
You're invisible on AI search
When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview "best Italian restaurant in Surry Hills" or "where to take a date in Newtown" — your restaurant needs to come up. Most Sydney restaurants haven't been optimised for AI search yet. We fix that.
OpenTable, TheFork and Quandoo charge per cover
Reservation platforms are convenient but they charge per cover, push their own brand and own the diner relationship. Direct bookings via your own site cost you nothing per cover — and you keep the diner data for repeat visits.
Your Instagram is gorgeous but doesn't book tables
Beautiful plating, gorgeous interior shots, lovely chef stories — but no clear path from "this looks amazing" to "I just booked a table for Saturday". We tie your Instagram, your Google Maps and your booking system into one funnel that actually fills tables.
Zomato reviews are buried under aggregator ads
On Zomato, your competitor across the road is paying to appear next to your listing. Your direct Google reviews and your own site need to dominate so the aggregators become a bonus, not a tax.
What We Build for Sydney Restaurants
Everything you need to dominate local restaurants search — built once, managed monthly.
Cuisine + suburb SEO
"Italian restaurant Surry Hills", "best Thai Inner West", "fine dining Eastern Suburbs" — dedicated landing pages per cuisine + suburb so you rank for the high-intent dinner searches.
Google Maps domination
Optimised Google Business Profile, photo-rich Maps listings, suburb-targeted ad campaigns and review automation. The trifecta that gets you in the top 3 Maps results for "restaurant near me".
Instagram + content calendar
Daily on-brand posts, weekly Reels, suburb-targeted hashtags. Tied directly to your booking link so followers convert into Saturday-night reservations.
Direct booking integration
Direct table booking through your site (or via SevenRooms, ResDiary, Now Book It) so diners book without leaving your site — and the cover lands in your existing system.
Review automation
Every booking triggers a friendly review request post-meal. More 5-star Google reviews = higher Maps rankings = more bookings. The flywheel that compounds for years.
Monthly performance reports
Plain-English reports — direct bookings, Maps rankings, Instagram reach, ad ROI. No jargon, just what's working and what we're changing next.

The questions Sydney restaurants actually ask before signing up.
How long until my restaurant ranks at the top of Google Maps?
Most Sydney restaurants see meaningful Maps movement within 4–8 weeks. Google Ads can drive bookings from day one. We build for both — paid reach immediately while your Maps ranking and AI search visibility climb in the background.
Can you integrate with SevenRooms / ResDiary / Now Book It?
Yes — we work with all major Australian restaurant booking systems. We can either embed the booking widget on your new site so diners book without leaving, or use our own booking flow that pushes covers back to your system.
Do I have to leave OpenTable / TheFork?
No — keep them as long as they pay off. The goal is for your direct channels (Maps, Instagram, your own site) to drive the bulk of your covers so the aggregators become a bonus rather than a per-cover tax.
What if our menu and specials change weekly?
Even better — every menu update is a new piece of content that helps your SEO. We'll set you up on a system where the team can post specials in 30 seconds and we'll write any longer "story" content (new chef, new tasting menu, seasonal launches) for you.
Ready to fill your calendar?
15 minutes, no pressure. We'll walk through your current online presence, show you what your top 3 competitors are doing, and map out what month one looks like for your restaurant business.
