Restaurant marketing Gold Coast

Restaurant marketing on the Gold Coast that fills the quiet nights.

Friday and Saturday look after themselves. Suede helps independent Gold Coast restaurants fill Tuesday to Thursday, with food and venue content shot during service, Instagram and Reels, Meta ads to the suburbs around you, a Google Business Profile that wins the “restaurants near me” search, and a website built to take bookings.

Why restaurant marketing is a different job

People choose a restaurant before they leave the house. They search Google Maps, scroll your Instagram and read the last five reviews. If any of those are thin or out of date, they book somewhere else, and you never know.

Restaurant marketing is about owning that moment of decision: a Google profile with current menu, hours and photos, a feed that shows the dishes and the room, and a booking link that works in two taps on a phone.

Then it’s about the weekdays. Midweek specials, set menus, a wine night or a regulars’ list, put in front of people who live within ten minutes and timed for the nights you need them.

Gold Coast owners ask us

Give people a reason that only exists midweek, such as a set menu, a wine or cocktail night or a regulars’ offer, and put it in front of people who live nearby through Instagram and Meta ads. Make sure the booking link is one tap from your Google profile and your Instagram bio.

Our work so far has been in cafes, and we are now taking on restaurants and bars. The playbook is the same: real content, a strong Google profile and locally targeted ads. We’ll show you the cafe results and what we’d do differently for dinner service.
