The Wonder Agency
Paid advertising for restaurants, hotels and bars
Meta and Google ads built to bring in bookings, judged on covers and revenue rather than clicks, with tracking that shows which ads filled which tables.
Organic reach alone rarely fills a quiet Tuesday.
Paid ads let you put a specific offer in front of the right people nearby, at the right moment, and switch it off when you’re full: a set lunch, a new menu, the private dining room, a weekend room rate.
The difference is in the targeting, the creative and the tracking. We set up conversion tracking with your booking system wherever it allows, so you can see what each booking costs, not just how many people clicked.
Paid for covers, not impressions.
