Marketing for pubs and bars: be the answer to “where shall we go?”

Pub searches are specific and immediate: somewhere with a garden, somewhere showing the match, somewhere that does a proper roast. We help pubs and bars appear for the things they are good at.

  • Found for what makes your pub different
  • Events and food promoted where people look
  • Bookings for Sundays, parties and Christmas

Typical searches we work on

pubs in yorksunday roast yorkdog friendly pubs yorkpubs with beer gardens near mepub quiz york tonight

People do not search for a pub. They search for a reason to choose one.

A beer garden on the first warm evening. The match on a big screen. A quiz on a Tuesday. Dogs welcome. A roast that needs booking. Each of these is searched every day, and the pub that has told Google it offers them, and has photographs to prove it, is the one that appears.

York adds visitors to the mix: people looking for historic pubs, somewhere near the Minster, somewhere after the races. They do not know the city and decide from the map. Most of what they see there comes from a profile the pub can edit for free.

What makes the difference

Where the work goes first.

What we would usually put right for pubs and bars, in order.

01

A complete Google Business Profile

02

Photographs

The room, the garden, the food and the bar, recent and real.

03

Kept current. An out-of-date events page is worse than none.

06

Reviews

Answered in your own voice. Regulars and visitors both read them.

Alcohol advertising has rules. Marketing must not encourage excessive drinking or appeal particularly to under-18s. We keep promotions and social content on the right side of them.

Questions

Pubs & bars: straight answers.

Something we have not covered? Ask us directly, a person will answer.

Do pubs need a website, or is social media enough?

A simple site helps: it ranks for your food and events, holds your menus as readable text and belongs to you. Social media reaches people who already follow you.

How do we fill quiet weekday nights?

Give people a reason, a quiz, a food offer, live music, and make sure it is findable: on your profile, your site and your social accounts.

How do we reach visitors to York?

With an accurate profile, good photographs and pages that say where you are in relation to the places they are searching from.

We are part of a pub company. Can we still do this?

Usually. Most of the local work is on the profile and reviews, which the pub itself can manage.
