What does a restaurant marketing agency like Jay Street do?
It depends on the job. I run Search and Maps ads, the Google Business Profile, local SEO, private-event demand, and paid social for independent restaurants, restaurant groups, and hotels. Dining-room work is scored on website reservations, calls, directions, and confirmed visits. Event work is scored on a sent inquiry. A public-relations firm is the better hire when the bottleneck is press. A brand studio is the better hire when the bottleneck is identity. A content team is the better hire when the job is publishing every day. About a thousand dollars a month can move one of those results. It cannot fund all of them.
Search and Maps ads should produce reservations and visits
Foot traffic-focused and private event-focused campaigns on Search and Maps. Dining-room ads get credit for website reservations, calls, directions, and confirmed visits. Event ads only get credit for a sent inquiry.
The Google profile is the storefront guests actually use
Hours, photos, menu, reviews, and posts kept current, then measured in profile views, calls, and direction requests by location.
Paid social builds familiarity before the search
Instagram, Reels, and Stories used to reach nearby guests, then tied back to reservation clicks and event inquiries.
The monthly report should show what a reservation cost
Search terms, spend, website reservations, calls, sent inquiries, and confirmed visits on one scoreboard. Declines are reported as declines.
Maps logo ads appear when someone nearby searches
The logo and a line of copy sit at the top of the map after a search. That is the Maps face of foot traffic ads, not a product that reaches people before they search.
