6 mistakes that quietly kill this funnel

Every one of these has cost founders ₹3–₹15L before they came to us. We fix them in the first two weeks.

Posting daily instead of advertising

Organic social reaches people who already follow you. Paid radius targeting reaches the 40,000 people within 5 km who don't.

Neglecting Google Business Profile

Most restaurant and retail demand is decided in the map pack. Stale photos and unanswered reviews cost more customers than any ad ever brings.

Living on aggregator discounts

30–40% commission plus deep discounting means volume with no profit. Aggregators are a channel, not a business model.

Not collecting customer numbers

Every bill is an opt-in opportunity. Brands with a WhatsApp database can fill a slow Tuesday with one broadcast.

Stock-photo food creative

Diners recognise fake food instantly. Real dish photography from your kitchen outperforms every stock library.

No attribution at all

Coupon codes, call tracking and QR scans cost nothing to set up and end the guessing about which campaign filled the tables.

Frequently asked questions

What does restaurant marketing cost in Patna?+

Local Launch Sprints start at ₹45,000 for a single outlet. Retainers start at ₹55,000/month. Ad spend is billed directly by Meta and Google in your business's name and typically starts at ₹25,000–₹60,000/month per outlet.

What is a realistic cost per walk-in lead?+

₹18–₹90 for most Patna restaurants and retail, depending on ticket size and radius. Higher-ticket categories like furniture, gyms and salons usually land between ₹80 and ₹250 per qualified enquiry.

Is Google Business Profile really that important?+

For local businesses it's the single highest-return channel. Most 'restaurants near me' and 'shop near me' decisions happen in the map pack before anyone visits a website.

Should we keep spending on Zomato and Swiggy?+

Keep them as a discovery channel, but stop treating them as the whole business. We optimise your listing and ad spend for margin while building a direct WhatsApp and ordering channel alongside.

Do you shoot the food photography?+

Yes — on-location dish photography, ambience shots and reels are part of the retainer, shot monthly in your kitchen or store in Patna.

How do you track footfall from ads?+

Coupon codes, call tracking numbers, QR scans, direction requests and, where you have a POS or CRM, matched redemption data. It won't be perfect, but it ends the guessing.

Can you handle multiple outlets?+

Yes. Each outlet gets its own profile, campaigns, budget and routing rules, with per-outlet reporting in a single dashboard.

How do we build a WhatsApp customer list legally?+

Explicit opt-in at billing, QR codes at the table or counter and offer sign-ups — with clear opt-out on every broadcast. We never buy or scrape numbers.

What about bad reviews we already have?+

We set up a response workflow for existing negatives and a steady stream of new genuine reviews. We do not buy fake reviews — it risks your profile and it's obvious to customers.

How fast can we go live?+

Seven days from kickoff, including the first creative shoot. New-outlet launches are usually planned two to three weeks ahead of opening day.

Do you do influencer campaigns?+

Yes — local food and lifestyle creators in Patna, managed on a per-campaign or retainer basis with tracked coupon codes so you see what each collaboration produced.

Do we own the accounts and content?+

Yes. Google Business Profile, Meta Business Manager, Google Ads and all photo and video files stay under your login. We operate as managers with a 30-day exit clause.

Do you work outside Patna?+

Yes, across Bihar and other cities. Creative shoots need an on-site visit, which we schedule monthly or quarterly depending on location.

How is reporting shared?+

A live dashboard covering spend, calls, direction requests, coupon redemptions, orders and repeat rate, plus a weekly Loom walkthrough and a monthly strategy call.
