The Challenge

Tasteo Urban Eatery was a growing restaurant brand across multiple city locations. Despite strong word-of-mouth, their local ad performance was inconsistent, and reservation volume fluctuated drastically week to week.

Challenges included:

  • Ineffective location targeting on Meta
  • Poor Google Maps visibility
  • Manual reservation management causing lost leads
  • Negative reviews impacting reputation

Our Approach

We developed a location-based performance system combining automation, reputation, and creative optimization.

1. Geo-Targeted Ad Campaigns

  • Ran hyper-local Meta ads within 5km radius per outlet
  • Used custom creative variations for each location
  • Highlighted signature dishes, chef events, and seasonal promos

2. Google My Business Boost

  • Claimed and optimized all listings with high-quality photos & CTAs
  • Encouraged review generation via QR codes on receipts
  • Improved average rating from 3.9★ → 4.6★

3. WhatsApp Reservation Automation

  • Integrated a chatbot to handle bookings automatically
  • Sent confirmation + reminders to reduce no-shows
  • Linked campaign ads directly to WhatsApp booking flow

The Results

In 4 months, Tasteo’s performance drastically improved:

Reservations

Monthly reservations increased from 280 to 1,050, a 275% growth.

Booking Cost

Cost per reservation dropped from $7.20 to $3.80 (-47%).

Local Reach

Foot traffic and brand search volume rose by 320% across all outlets.
