Marketing services for Pubs
⭐ Our Latest Client Got 100+ Enquiries Last Month ⭐
We help pubs get found by the people already looking for exactly what you offer, whether that’s a Sunday roast, a quiz night, a beer garden, or somewhere to put on their Christmas do.
If your regulars keep you afloat but new faces are rare and your quiet nights stay quiet, that’s what we’re here to change.
What we do for your pub
Local search and Google Maps
Most people deciding where to eat or drink tonight search on their phone first. We make sure your Google Business Profile is accurate, current, and working hard, with your menu, opening hours, beer garden, and dog-friendly status all visible before they've even clicked through to your website.
Occasion and event-specific pages
"Sunday roast near me", "pub with beer garden [town]", "Christmas party venue [area]", "pub showing the football [town]", "quiz night near me". These are all different searches with different intent, and a single generic homepage won't rank for any of them properly. We build the pages that catch each one.
Google Ads for key dates and seasons
Christmas bookings, Mother's Day roasts, Valentine's tables, Six Nations and World Cup screenings, bank holiday beer garden trade. We run targeted campaigns around the moments that actually move revenue for a pub, not a generic always-on campaign that burns budget in January for no reason.
Review generation
Your regulars already love the place. Most of them have never been asked to say so where it counts. We build a simple process for asking happy customers to leave a review, timed to land after a good visit, not as an awkward afterthought.
Website and booking visibility
Whether you take bookings through OpenTable, your own form, or a phone call, we make sure the path from "found you on Google" to "table's booked" is as short and obvious as possible.

Why this matters for pubs right now
Roughly a third of the country's remaining pubs have shut over the past couple of decades, and the ones that have survived are almost never the ones relying purely on people drinking pints at the bar. Wet-led trade has been in decline for years, squeezed by supermarket alcohol prices, home entertainment, and changing habits, particularly among younger drinkers who go out less often but spend more when they do. The pubs still standing are the ones that have become something worth travelling for: a proper Sunday roast, a beer garden worth the drive, a genuinely good quiz night, a function room that hosts every christening and leaving do in the postcode.
That shift changes how customers find you. Nobody drives ten minutes for "a pint" when there's a Wetherspoons or a supermarket four-pack closer. But plenty of people will drive ten minutes for the best roast in the area, or book a Friday night table because your quiz has a reputation, or choose your beer garden over the one next door because the photos and reviews looked better. The decision has moved online, and it happens before anyone sets foot near your car park.
If you're relying on a chalkboard outside and word of mouth from regulars, you're only reaching people who already know you exist. The person who's just moved to the area, the office looking for a Christmas venue, the family trying to book Mother's Day, the group wanting somewhere to watch the football, none of them know your pub yet. They're searching Google to find out. Whoever shows up first, with the best reviews and the clearest information, gets the booking.

Frequently asked questions
Facebook keeps your existing regulars in the loop, which is worth doing, but it does very little to reach someone who's never heard of your pub and is searching Google for a Sunday roast or a Christmas venue right now. The two do different jobs, and most pubs are only doing one of them.
No. Tie arrangements affect what you buy and sell, not how you're allowed to market the pub. We work within whatever branding guidelines your brewery or pub company has, if any, and focus purely on getting the right customers finding and booking you.
Yes, and it's usually one of the fastest wins. We target the searches that happen around events like quiz nights, meal deals, or midweek offers, and run campaigns timed to land in the days beforehand when people are actually deciding where to go.
Ideally from September. Party bookings for December are often made months in advance, and by the time most pubs start thinking about Christmas marketing in November, the pubs that started early have already filled their function room and taken the best dates.
Completely. The goal is getting the phone to ring or the enquiry form filled, not forcing everyone through an online booking system. If a call to your bar is the outcome, that's exactly what we're aiming for.
We stick to the CAP and BCAP advertising codes around alcohol marketing, which mostly come down to not targeting under-18s and not linking drinking to social or sexual success. In practice this rarely limits what we do, since most of the work is around food, events, and the venue itself rather than the drinks.
Yes, and it's often the highest-value work we do for a pub. A dedicated page targeting searches like "function room hire" or "private party venue" in your area, backed by good photos and clear pricing information, tends to outperform relying on people asking at the bar.
Passing trade is still valuable, but it's finite and entirely dependent on location and luck. Digital visibility brings in the trade that would never have walked past in the first place, particularly for roasts, events, and function bookings, which is usually where the real growth sits.
Yes. Sports fixture searches spike hard around major games, and if your pub screens matches, making that clearly visible and easy to find is one of the simplest ways to fill seats on a big match night.
A boosted post reaches people scrolling who weren't necessarily looking for a pub at all. What we do targets people actively searching for a roast, a venue, or a place to watch a match right now, which is a fundamentally different kind of customer.
No. We work month to month and earn the right to continue by getting you bookings, not by locking you into an agreement.
Google Business Profile and Maps improvements can show results within a few weeks. Content and search ranking work generally takes two to three months to build real momentum, and seasonal campaigns like Christmas need to start well before the season itself to have proper impact on your diary.
