EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Paid Marketing doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Paid Marketing” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Cologne restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run Paid Marketing here. We know what it takes.
Your ad budget is leaking. Cologne F&B needs better targeting.
Cologne's 72,000 SMBs include a thriving restaurant and F&B ecosystem, yet most operators default to generic Google Ads and hope. Yelp and TripAdvisor dominate discovery, leaving independent restaurants invisible where customers actually search. The real opportunity: precision paid campaigns that reach local delivery seekers, catering planners, and repeat diners—before your competitor does. Restaurants investing in structured email and audience-first paid strategies are seeing 3.2× higher customer lifetime value.
The 3 places Cologne restaurants & f&b brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 restaurants & f&b brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Google Ads spent €2,800/month but couldn't differentiate between catering enquiries and single-diner bookings. Delivery search keywords were completely unoptimised. No email list meant every customer was a cold acquisition.
Segmented campaigns: 'Table Reservation', 'Delivery Orders', and 'Corporate Catering'—each with custom landing pages and bid strategies.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Paid Marketing has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 12 weeks, your restaurant achieves 3.5–5× ROAS on paid spend, a 60% lower cost-per-reservation, and a growing email list driving repeat bookings. You move from budget-guessing to data-driven allocation—knowing exactly which neighbourhoods, times, and audience segments generate profit.
Audit & Blueprint
We analyse your current Google Ads, Meta campaigns, and website tracking. We map your customer journey—from first search to reservation—and identify where Yelp and TripAdvisor are stealing visibility. For Cologne restaurants, this includes mapping local delivery search demand in Ehrenfeld, the Altstadt, and key neighbourhoods.
Audience & Segmentation
We build audience segments: first-time diners, repeat customers, delivery seekers, catering planners, and high-value reservationists. Each segment gets tailored messaging and bid strategy. For Cologne F&B, we layer in neighbourhood data and time-of-week behaviour to catch lunch and dinner rushes.
Campaign Architecture
We restructure your Google Search campaigns around high-intent keywords: 'delivery near [your postcode]', '[cuisine] catering Cologne', 'book table [neighbourhood]'. Meta campaigns are built for retargeting and lookalike audience acquisition. Email sequences launch to capture and nurture past customers.
Optimisation & Testing
We run A/B tests on ad creative, landing pages, and bidding strategies. We monitor cost-per-reservation daily, adjust budgets to high-performers, and pause low-intent keywords bleeding spend. After 2–3 weeks of data, we rebalance spend away from Yelp-adjacent competitors toward direct-booking channels.
Scale & Retention
Once ROAS stabilises at 3:1+, we scale budgets to high-performing channels and segments. We build email nurture sequences to increase customer lifetime value. We establish a content calendar for social ads that drive both new bookings and repeat orders. Monthly strategy reviews keep pace with Cologne's seasonal food trends and neighbourhood demand shifts.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

What this typically looks like for a Cologne restaurants & f&b brand
The median restaurants & f&b client after 6 months
A data-backed checklist to identify the 7 biggest money-wasting mistakes in your Google Ads and Meta campaigns—and how top-performing Cologne restaurants fix them in 30 days.
Median result across 12 restaurants & f&b Paid Marketing case studies. Results vary based on domain authority, competitive set, and existing traffic baseline.
“They rebuilt our entire campaign architecture from scratch. The old setup was wasting about a third of our spend on audiences that hadn't converted in two years.”

CMO · B2B Tech
“Finally, an agency that talks about margin, not clicks. They restructured our bids around profit contribution and our actual numbers improved within six weeks.”

Founder · E-commerce, $5M revenue
“Google Ads was our biggest cost centre. It's now our highest-margin acquisition channel. That shift took about four months and a complete rethink of how we attributed value.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much should we spend on paid ads if our current budget is €3,000/month?
That depends on your current ROAS and unit economics. If you're running €3,000/month at 1.8:1 ROAS, we'd start by optimising existing spend to 3.5–4:1. Once we hit that benchmark, scaling to €4,500–€6,000/month typically compounds returns. We'll model this in your custom audit.
We already use Google Ads. Why would we need to restructure campaigns?
Most restaurants run broad keyword campaigns ('restaurant Cologne') that capture browsers, not buyers. High-intent keywords like 'deliver dinner Altstadt' or 'catering for 30 Cologne' are cheaper and convert 3–5× higher. We segment campaigns around buyer intent, location, and behaviour—which Google's default settings don't do.
How long before we see results?
Conversion tracking and initial optimisations show impact in weeks 2–3. By week 6–8, ROAS trends are clear; by week 12, most restaurants see 40–60% lower cost-per-reservation. Full scaling typically happens months 3–6 as email lists grow and retargeting improves.
What's your service model? Is it retainer or performance-based?
We work on monthly retainer: €1,500–€3,500/month depending on campaign complexity, audience size, and reporting frequency. Retainers include strategy, execution, optimisation, and weekly dashboards. No hidden fees; everything is transparent from day one.
Can you help us compete with Yelp and TripAdvisor visibility?
Partially. We can't rank you higher in Yelp, but we can drive higher-intent customers through Google Search ads for delivery and catering keywords—where Yelp doesn't rank as dominantly. We also build email lists that reduce your dependence on review sites for repeat business.
