Improved local visibility and Local Ads meant guests could find and book directly via Google. Reliance on 3rdparty sites fell as owned channels grew.
Increase in local engagement
Top3 visibility for key “near me” phrases within 90 days. Customers found the venue from Maps and took action daily.
What our clients say
We needed revenue, not just traffic. Their localfirst strategy wins Maps, and Ads convert. The monthly numbers are crystal clear and keep momentum high.
Our pubs now dominate for local searches and new customers find us daily. The rollout across venues was coordinated and fast—exactly what we needed.
They focus on “near me” demand and show the numbers that matter. Reports are concise and tied to bookings—our direct revenue is up and traffic finally pays its way.
Our Approach
-
Your super high-intent guests are searching now — “near me,” Maps, mobile. We capture them with Local SEO + Google Ads, turning that intent into calls, directions and bookings right away. Every action is tracked, so you see revenue, not vanity.
-
We grow non-brand, high-intent search — think “best brunch in [city]” or “pub with garden [area].” Full SEO and paid search expand your visibility to guests who are ready to spend with you in the immediate future, compounding results over months and lowering CPA.
-
Tight tracking, clean attribution, clear reporting: GA4, call tracking, booking pixels, and transparent dashboards. We report in CPA, ROAS, bookings and revenue per venue — plus what we’re changing next.
FAQs about Local SEO for Hospitality
Can we track ad-driven bookings?
Yes—GA4 + booking platforms (OpenTable/ResDiary/SevenRooms) + call clicks. We split brand vs non-brand and report revenue/ROAS.
What ROAS do you aim for?
Our benchmark is ≈14× measured on booking revenue. Actual results vary by demand, capacity and offer—targets are set per venue.
Do you run Performance Max or Search?
Both. PMax for local intent & Maps visibility; Search for high-intent terms. Brand is ring-fenced with its own rules/negatives.
How do you prevent wasted spend?
Tight geo/radius, daypart bidding, negatives from search terms, keyword theming, and landing pages that convert.
How are budgets set across sites?
By capacity and dayparts. We throttle when books are full and move spend to venues with headroom.
What’s included in the Localfirst setup?
Business Profile optimisation, schema, citation cleanup, local landing pages, review ops, and clean tracking.
How long to see movement?
Map Pack improvements typically start in 4–8 weeks (faster with hygiene fixes). Content/link gains build over time.
What’s a postcode coverage (geogrid) report?
A heatmap of rankings across your catchment, showing where you’re top-3 and where to focus next.
Do you create local content?
Yes—postcode/area pages, menu/event updates, FAQ schema, and seasonal pages built to drive bookings.
Can you support multiple locations?
Yes—location groups in GBP, scalable citations, and per-venue landing pages with structured data.
Do reviews affect rankings?
Yes—volume, recency and responses matter. We run request/response playbooks and track the impact.
What do you need to start?
Access to Business Profile, GA4, Google Ads, booking platform, CMS—and your target postcodes/keywords.
Do we need a meeting?
Not to get your report. Onboarding can be done async; optional 30-min kickoff if you prefer.
What do you report on?
Bookings, calls, directions, menu views, ROAS, and postcode coverage—plus actions we’re taking next.
How long are contracts?
No long contracts. 30-day rolling, and you own every account and dataset.
