Our food is great, but midweek the dining room is empty.
It isn’t the food. People nearby just don’t know you yet. A local campaign with great video goes after exactly those slow nights.
See what the campaigns didWe’ve handled the whole package for four restaurants in Toronto and the GTA, Shomal Restaurant, North Grill, Thornhill Pub and Gilaneh: food photography and Reels, Instagram & Facebook campaigns, Google Maps and reviews, and restaurant websites. This page shows exactly what we made and what happened.
What do you want to see first?
Food Reels, sizzling grills, the bar, the chef at work and busy dining-room nights, all from real restaurants we work with.
What did these videos bring in?Messages, guests and bookings
These numbers come from the Instagram and Facebook campaigns we built, ran and reported on for our restaurant clients.
Combined results from our restaurant clients’ campaigns during the periods we ran them. Every restaurant’s results depend on its menu, location, budget and offer.
We didn’t only target the blocks around the restaurant. We found people who will drive for good food, and guests came all the way from Mississauga and Milton to Steeles and Yonge.
The Boost button buys likes. We build campaigns in Ads Manager aimed at DMs, calls and visits, and retarget people who watched the video.
Phone photos don’t sell in ads. We filmed and edited food and dining-room Reels for the campaigns, each with an offer and a clear reason to come in.
If one of them sounds like you, the answer is on this page.

See what the campaigns didWe have followers and we boosted posts, but nobody came in.
Boosting is for likes, not guests. Real campaigns are built in Ads Manager, with message and visit goals, area targeting and retargeting.
Facebook & Instagram adsOn Google Maps, the places around us show up first.
A half-finished profile, old photos and few reviews tell Google you’re not a serious option. We fix that.
Google Maps & reviewsWe don’t have many reviews, or one bad review ruined everything.
No bought reviews. A simple system that gets happy guests to leave one, and calm, professional replies to the bad ones.
How the review system worksOur menu photos were shot on a phone. The food doesn’t look as good as it tastes.
Light, angles and styling are everything. One professional shoot gives you months of content for the menu, Google, your website and ads.
See our restaurant photosNobody has time to make Reels every week and run the page.
You run the restaurant. Filming, editing, captions, posting and ads are on us, with one simple report every month.
How monthly growth worksEveryone orders through Uber Eats and DoorDash, and the commission hurts.
A website with your menu, reservations and online ordering connects guests directly to you, and gets found on Google.
Websites we builtShould our ads be in English or another language?
It depends on your guests. For Persian restaurants we often make both; for Thornhill Pub, a Canadian pub, everything was in English.
Common questionsEvery restaurant started from a different place. Here’s what was hurting and what we built.
The problem: Their old website had been taken down, and they were invisible for searches like “Persian restaurant Toronto”.
We built a new website from scratch with SEO in mind: a custom menu, online reservations and a structure that tells Google exactly where they are and what they serve. Alongside it: food photography, video and social content.
The problem: The lounge atmosphere and the feel of their evenings got lost in ordinary photos, and orders kept going to delivery apps.
We shot photo and video that show the food and coffee and the nighttime mood. Their website was built with lightweight video and online ordering, so guests order directly from the restaurant.
The problem: A Canadian pub with live music and happy hour that looked like just another spot online.
We built a full library of food, drink and bar photography and high-energy videos of the room, all in English for a Canadian crowd. Their website came with the menu, reservations, happy hour and live-music sections.
The problem: Authentic northern Persian food, but new guests only came from their page and word of mouth.
We ran food photography and video, ongoing content and ad campaigns so more people across Toronto and the GTA would see the food and come in to try it.
For two of these restaurants, we moved them up on Google. These numbers are Shomal Restaurant’s, with a website we built from scratch.
Data from Google Analytics 4 for the measured project period.
The right categories, hours, menu, professional photos and regular posts: what Google and guests check before they come.

Boosting is the simplest form of advertising and mostly buys likes and views. A campaign in Ads Manager has a clear goal (messages, calls, visits), precise area targeting, retargeting and budget control. The results on this page came from campaigns like these.
Meta campaigns usually bring messages and visits in the first weeks. Google and SEO take longer: Shomal Restaurant’s new website reached page one in about six months.
No. We book your quiet hours, work with a small crew and you prepare the selected dishes back to back. One session gives you weeks of content.
Yes. Our team works in English and Persian, so we can create content for both your local guests and the Persian-speaking community.
No. Fake reviews break Google’s rules and put your profile at risk. We build a system that gets real, happy guests to leave reviews.
We’ll look at your Instagram, Google Maps and website, and give you a simple, clear plan.
