Hungry Searches
We place you on Google when people type “near me,” “open now,” or your signature dish name.
We place you on Google when people type “near me,” “open now,” or your signature dish name.
Negative keywords block junk clicks, so your money goes to diners, not job hunters and recipe readers.
We target the right radius and neighbourhoods, so your ads reach people who will actually visit today.
Calls, bookings, and order clicks are tracked, proving which restaurant ads bring real sales each week.
We A/B test headlines, offers, and photos, then keep winners to lift results without raising spend.

Show up on hungry “near me” searches.

Turn clicks into calls and bookings.

Bring past diners back with reminders.

Scale winners, cut waste, boost ROI.



We audit tracking, calls, bookings, and wasted clicks before spending a single dollar.
We choose hungry keywords and tight locations diners search when they want food now.
We write ad copy that sells your best dish, deal, and dine-in vibe fast.
We launch controlled campaigns with clear budgets, schedules, and the right extensions.
We block useless searches, fix weak ads, and shift budget to the winners.
We grow what brings calls and covers, then report results in plain numbers.
Most restaurant ad accounts we take over look fine on paper. Impressions climb, clicks climb, and nobody can say how many covers came from it. We rebuild the account around the actions that pay you: calls, bookings and orders.
A rebuilt account with conversion tracking on every call, booking and order, campaigns split by order method, a negative keyword shield, ad copy written around your dishes and prices, and reporting in covers rather than impressions.
Every engagement starts the same way, because the same things are broken in almost every restaurant account we inherit. We fix the measurement before we touch a single bid.
If your website is the bottleneck we will say so rather than quietly raising your budget. A dedicated landing page or a round of conversion rate optimisation often earns more than another thousand dollars of spend would.
In order: audit and fix tracking, launch high-intent search only, split campaigns by order method, schedule spend around service hours, build negatives before launch, tighten geography, then add broader formats once search is profitable.
The sequence matters more than any individual tactic. Most accounts we inherit were built backwards, starting with a broad Performance Max campaign because it was the easiest thing to switch on. That structure spends your money on brand searches you would have won for free, then reports it as success.
Steps one to six are unglamorous. They are also where the money is. Step seven is where a lot of agencies start, because it produces impressive impression counts in month one.

Most single-location restaurants run a workable campaign on $500 to $2,000 a month in media spend. Competitive downtown markets and multi-location groups usually need $1,200 to $2,500 per location. Management is billed separately, month to month.
Anyone quoting a fixed price without asking about your catchment, cuisine and average cover is guessing. Downtown Vancouver sushi and small-town Ontario pizza are not the same auction.
Below roughly $500 a month there is not enough conversion data to optimise anything. We will tell you that to your face rather than take the retainer, and point you at your Google Business Profile and local SEO first.
| Situation | Monthly media spend | What it realistically buys |
|---|---|---|
| Single location, suburban | $500 – $900 | One city, two or three campaigns, steady call volume. |
| Single location, competitive core | $1,200 – $2,500 | Dense cuisine competition, delivery-heavy, brand defence included. |
| New opening | $1,500 – $3,000 | Front-loaded for launch month, tapering once organic catches up. |
| Multi-location group | $1,200 – $2,500 per site | Separate budgets and reporting per location. |
| Catering / B2B focus | $800 – $1,800 | Fewer clicks, far higher value per enquiry. |
Media spend paid to Google. Management is a separate monthly fee, quoted after the audit.
Be wary of a straight percentage-of-spend fee with no floor. It rewards an agency for spending more of your money rather than spending it better.
Month one is cleanup and data collection. Month two is where negatives, schedules and bids get sharp. Month three is the first month worth judging. Anyone promising a transformed account in three weeks is about to burn your budget proving a point.
Five things, usually together: untracked phone calls, broad match with no negatives, paid traffic landing on a slow homepage, the same bid all day, and judging the account on clicks instead of covers.
We audit a lot of restaurant accounts. The same problems turn up in the same order, and all of them are fixable inside a fortnight.
Restaurants convert on the phone more than almost any other local business, and phone conversions are the ones most often missing. Without them you are optimising against a fraction of your real results, so automated bidding learns the wrong lesson and drifts your budget toward whatever produces cheap web clicks.
Broad match will happily find people searching for butter chicken recipes, restaurant jobs and calorie counts. Every one of them costs the same as a hungry diner.
Someone clicked an ad about your lunch special. Sending them to a homepage with a video header asks them to go find it. They will not.
If the dinner rush drives 60% of your revenue, it should not be getting 25% of your ad spend.
Clicks are not the product. Impressions are definitely not the product. When a monthly report leads with impressions, it is usually because the numbers underneath are not good.
Because we already know a catering enquiry outranks twelve lunch clicks, that a 6pm search is worth four times a 2pm one, and which negatives to block on day one. You are not funding our learning curve.
We work with food businesses only. That is a limitation and we are comfortable with it. A generalist agency will get there eventually, but they will get there using three months of your budget.
The other reason is honesty about scope. Ads work better when the rest of the system is not leaking, so if your site converts badly, your Google Business Profile is thin, or your menu is impossible to read on a phone, we will say so before we take your money. Spending more on traffic to a broken funnel is the fastest way to lose it.
We were burning money on Google ads and could not tell what worked. EatHype cleaned the setup, blocked junk searches, and fixed tracking. Within weeks, calls and bookings became steady.
No long-term contract. If the account is not producing covers we would rather you leave than stay locked in, and that keeps the pressure exactly where it belongs.
Still unsure? Ask us directly and we will answer straight, even when the answer is that ads are not your best next move.
Calls and bookings usually start within the first two weeks of a clean launch. Month three is the first month worth judging, because months one and two are spent gathering conversion data and cutting waste.
They do different jobs. Google captures people already looking for food right now. Meta creates demand from people who were not searching. Most restaurants should get Google working first, then add Meta Ads for reach and repeat visits.
Yes, for anything beyond brand searches. Paid traffic sent to a homepage converts far worse than traffic sent to a page carrying one offer, one action and a fast mobile load. It is the cheapest fix available.
Yes, provided the budget clears roughly $500 a month and the radius is kept tight. Below that there is not enough conversion data to optimise, and the money is better spent on local SEO and your Google Business Profile.
Usually yes. Delivery aggregators often bid on restaurant brand names and take a commission on orders you would have received direct. Brand clicks are cheap because your quality score is high, so defending them costs very little.
No. We work month to month. If the account is not producing covers we would rather you leave than stay locked in.
Yes. We run accounts for restaurants across Canada, including multi-location groups that need separate budgets and reporting per city.
Share a few details, and we will send a clear game plan. No fluff. No pressure. Just a smart social strategy.
