I had never run a FB ads campaign, working with Francesco meant that instead of spending hours figuring out what each option in the ads console meant, or how attribution should work, I could focus on actually launching quickly and effectively, I highly recommend working with Francesco
Working with Francesco has been fantastic because he did not help me only with understanding Ads, but also how to look up what my competitors are doing, plus set up technical aspects such as tracking and Google Analytics. It was nice to learn also, Ads needs their one time to warm up the clients, so the right strategy and funnel needs to be in place. Can only recommend - work with Francesco.
You know what's amazing about Francesco? He doesn't just know the ins and outs of ad platforms - he's actually been in the trenches making them work. When he explains things, it clicks. He takes all these complicated tech concepts and breaks them down into real steps you can actually use. That's pretty rare to find.
If you're a builder, book time with Francesco. He navigated me through the monstrosity called Google Ads UI. But more importantly, he has a natural instinct for spotting marketing problems. And won't hesitate to give you a clear, objective assessment your strategy!
Costs & Budget
Restaurant Google Ads are relatively affordable — budgets of $300–$1,500/month are typical for independent restaurants. Average CPC is $0.50–$2. The challenge is that restaurant margins are thin, so even cheap clicks need to convert to reservations or orders to be worthwhile.
Restaurant Google Ads CPCs range from $0.50–$2 for most keywords. 'Restaurants near me' and 'open now' keywords are at the higher end ($1.50–$3) due to high conversion intent. Cuisine-specific terms ('best sushi', 'Italian restaurant') are cheaper at $0.50–$1.50.
A good cost per reservation from Google Ads is $3–$10 for casual dining and $5–$20 for fine dining. Online ordering conversions should cost $2–$8. Given average table values of $40–$150+, even $15–$20 per booking is profitable if guests return.
Both serve different goals. Google captures people actively searching 'restaurants near me' with immediate intent — high conversion, lower creative burden. Facebook and Instagram build brand awareness and drive event promotion. For immediate reservations and orders, Google typically delivers faster ROI. Most restaurants benefit from both.
FAQ
Yes, if done right. Focus on high-intent searches like 'restaurant reservations tonight' and use location extensions. Many restaurants see 5-10x return on ad spend when targeting properly.
We set up conversion tracking for online reservations and orders, plus call tracking for phone bookings. For walk-ins, we can use store visit conversions if you have enough traffic.
It can work for capturing competitive searches, but it's often expensive. Better to focus on cuisine types and 'near me' searches where intent is clearer.
