Stop losing diners to TripAdvisor. Start winning searches.
Liverpool's 32,000 food & beverage businesses spend £2,000/month on digital. Most waste it on vanity metrics. Your competitors won't.
📍 Liverpool Market Insight: Liverpool's restaurant scene is fiercely competitive. TripAdvisor, Google, and delivery platforms control 78% of discovery for casual dining and fine dining alike. Yet most restaurant owners in the Baltic Triangle and Liverpool ONE are running paid campaigns without email capture, retargeting, or attribution. This means you're paying for clicks that never convert to repeat customers—and you'll never know why.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Liverpool's restaurants & f&b sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're ranking on TripAdvisor but not getting bookings from your own website.”
Your paid ads drive awareness, not conversion. No email list means no second chance to reach interested diners.
Average restaurant loses £8,400/year in repeat customer revenue due to zero retention strategy.
“Your Facebook and Google ads cost per booking keeps climbing month-on-month.”
You're not retargeting website visitors or segmenting by intent (delivery vs. dine-in vs. catering). Broad audiences = wasted spend.
Typical waste: £400–£600/month on clicks from users not ready to book.
“Delivery and catering search terms are invisible in your reports. Competitors own those queries.”
Ad copy and landing pages optimised for walk-ins only. No keyword strategy for 'catering Liverpool' or 'food delivery Baltic Triangle'.
Missing 18–24% of high-intent commercial searches. Annual revenue loss: £12,000–£18,000.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit & Attribution Setup
Week 1-2We map every pound you're currently spending. Where do clicks come from? What actually converts to a booking? Most Liverpool restaurants can't answer this. We install conversion tracking, set up email capture workflows, and build your first audience segments.
Complete paid media audit, conversion tracking setup, audience architecture document
Strategy & Audience Build
Week 2-3We research your competitor keywords, map search intent (dine-in vs. delivery vs. catering), and build 12–18 audience segments. For restaurants in Liverpool ONE, this means isolating high-value tourist searches. For Baltic Triangle independents, we capture local office catering demand.
Keyword strategy, audience map, landing page spec, email sequence brief
Campaign Build & Launch
Week 3-4We create search campaigns by intent, social campaigns by audience, and email nurture sequences. Every campaign feeds your email list. Every ad directs to a conversion-optimised page—not your homepage. Booking confirmations trigger retargeting campaigns.
Live Google Ads campaigns, Meta campaigns, email sequences, landing pages
Optimisation & Scaling
Week 4-8First 30 days: we pause low-intent keywords, increase bids on high-converting ones, and segment email opens by behaviour. We A/B test ad copy, landing page headlines, and email subject lines. Revenue-per-pound climbs.
Weekly optimisation reports, bid adjustments, copy variants, email performance analysis
Retention & Revenue Stacking
Week 8+By week 8, your email list is growing. We activate it: post-booking thank-you sequences, seasonal offers, VIP early access, referral incentives. A single email can generate 15–25% additional revenue from existing customers—at 95% lower cost than new customer ads.
Email segmentation, automated sequences, retention dashboard, quarterly strategy review
After 90 days, your paid marketing stops leaking money into vanity metrics. Every pound is tied to a booking, repeat customer, or email address. Your cost per booking drops 35–50%. Your email list becomes a revenue engine worth £3,000–£8,000/month in repeat bookings and catering referrals.
Liverpool Restaurants & F&B Success Stories
A Liverpool-based fine dining restaurant with 80 covers, located in the Baltic Triangle.
Spending £2,400/month on Google Ads and Facebook. CTR was 1.8%. No email list. TripAdvisor reviews drove traffic but no bookings to their website. Catering revenue was untapped.
- →Built separate campaigns for 'fine dining Liverpool', 'private events catering', and 'Valentine's tasting menu'—each with bespoke landing pages.
- →Installed email capture on every booking confirmation and menu download. Within 60 days: 890 emails.
- →Created post-booking email sequence: thank you → wine pairing tips → next event early access → referral offer.
“We were throwing money at Google without knowing what worked. Within three months, we understood exactly which keywords brought bookings—not just clicks. The email strategy turned one-off diners into repeat customers. This transformed our revenue.”
A casual dining chain with three Liverpool locations (one in Liverpool ONE, two in city centre).
£3,200/month ad spend across Facebook and Instagram. Low engagement. No differentiation between dine-in and delivery intent. Competitor TikTok accounts were winning younger demographics.
- →Segmented audiences by location and behaviour: Liverpool ONE diners vs. city centre lunch crowd vs. delivery-only customers. Built location-specific landing pages.
- →Launched TikTok & YouTube Shorts campaigns: behind-the-scenes content, staff recommendations, quick recipes. Budget: £400/month. Cost per view: £0.008.
- →Implemented retargeting: website visitors saw ads for 'nearby specials' or 'order for delivery'. Email list grew to 3,100 in 4 months.
“We thought TikTok was a waste for a restaurant chain. Turns out, young professionals in Liverpool ONE wanted behind-the-scenes content and quick lunch options. Paired with delivery retargeting, it became our highest-ROI channel. We're now doubling the TikTok budget.”
