Restaurants live and die on local discovery and repeat visits. Diners decide in minutes, usually from a phone, by looking at photos, the menu, reviews and how easy it is to book. “Restaurant marketing” averaged about US$34 per click in Canada, while “catering” draws about 14,800 searches a month. The first query concerns marketing services for restaurant owners; it is not a diner-acquisition CPC benchmark. This guide covers the channels that fill tables in Canada, from the map pack to delivery apps, email and events, plus the rules on menus, alcohol and pricing.
Win “near me” searches
Choose the most specific cuisine category on your Google Business Profile and keep hours, holiday hours and the menu current.
Add the reservation and order links directly to the profile.
Upload real, appetizing photos of dishes, the room and the patio, and refresh them with each menu change.
Reply to every review, and use feedback to fix what customers mention.
Delivery apps bring new customers but take a commission on every order. Use them for discovery, and move repeat customers to direct ordering with your own app or website, loyalty rewards and email offers sent with consent. See our app development for restaurants.
Social media and content
Short videos of dishes being made, the team and the atmosphere.
Events: trivia nights, tasting menus, chef collaborations.
Turn first visits into regulars
Collect emails and phone numbers with consent through reservations and WiFi sign in.
Birthday and anniversary offers.
A simple loyalty program.
Follow up with private event and catering clients after every booking.
Rules restaurants should know
In Ontario, chains with 20 or more locations operating under the same or substantially the same name and offering substantially the same standard food items must display calories for covered items under the Healthy Menu Choices Act.
Alcohol advertising in Ontario follows the AGCO’s advertising standards; avoid promoting excessive drinking.
Advertised prices must include mandatory fees; hidden service or delivery charges can count as drip pricing under the Competition Act.
Allergen and dietary claims, such as gluten free, must be accurate.
Marketing emails and texts need CASL consent.
Paid ads that work for restaurants
Search ads for catering, private events and “restaurant near me” during dinner decision times, and social ads for launches and events, measured on reservations and orders. See the industry CPC study.
Win near me searches with a complete Business Profile, make booking and ordering easy, post real food content and turn first visits into regulars.
Should a restaurant menu be a PDF?
Use a web page menu. It supports readable mobile layouts, accessible text and search discovery. Keep an optional printable PDF alongside it if useful.
Are delivery apps worth it?
They help discovery but take commission, so move repeat customers to direct ordering.
Do Ontario restaurants have to show calories?
Covered chains with 20 or more Ontario locations under the same or substantially the same name and offering substantially the same standard items must display calories for those items.
Can restaurants add service fees to advertised prices?
Mandatory fees should be included in advertised prices to avoid drip pricing concerns.
How do restaurants build loyalty?
Consent based email and text offers, birthday rewards and a simple loyalty program.
Do influencer visits need disclosure?
Yes, any free meals or payment must be clearly disclosed.
What pages should a restaurant website have?
Menu, reservations, online ordering, private events, catering and location details.
Are Google Ads worth it for restaurants?
Often for catering and private events, and for near me searches at decision times.
What are the rules on alcohol advertising in Ontario?
The AGCO sets advertising standards. Avoid promoting excessive or irresponsible drinking.
Amir leads SEO, web design, paid search and social media strategy for Canada Create clients across Canada and the United States, and writes CC Zone™ to share what works in the field.
We’ve been working with Canada Create for the past two and a half years, and we truly appreciate how much hard work, creativity, and care they have put into helping Kart Town grow.
Running an indoor playground, kids’ go-karting, and birthday party venue in Toronto takes a lot of heart. Every booking represents a family trusting us with their child’s special day. Canada Create understands that, and their dedication to helping us reach more families has meant so much to us.
They redesigned our website into something we’re proud to share—making it easier for parents to explore our birthday packages and book their celebrations. Their ongoing SEO work has helped us achieve first-page organic search rankings, visibility in Google’s local map results, and a stronger presence across other search engines. Most importantly, we’ve seen that visibility translate into more birthday bookings.
Their team also manages our Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, bringing Kart Town’s energy to life through creative content, regular posts, and stories. They’ve helped us connect with parents, build engagement, and generate bookings through social media.
Alongside that, they manage our Google Search PPC campaigns and Google Maps advertising, helping families discover us when they’re looking for somewhere special to celebrate.
There is also so much work happening behind the scenes: monthly technical SEO, website speed improvements, and ongoing blog content creation. Our blog now has more than 117 published articles, reflecting the consistent effort they’ve invested in our online presence.
What we appreciate most is how much they care. Over two and a half years, Amir and the Canada Create team have put real thought and effort into understanding our business and helping it succeed.
Thank you for helping more families discover Kart Town and giving us more opportunities to create happy birthday memories. We wholeheartedly recommend Canada Create to business owners looking for a dedicated, creative, and hardworking marketing team.
Working with Canada Create has meant so much to me and my business, ProDerma Clinic. When you put your heart into caring for your clients, you want your website and online presence to reflect that same care. I’m so happy with the work Amir and his team have done to help me present my clinic and services with confidence.
They created a beautiful, professional website that brings together my treatments and makes it easy for visitors to learn about the clinic, explore their options, and book a consultation. Having a website I feel proud to share is a wonderful feeling. It gives people an introduction to ProDerma before they even walk through the door.
Their work has also included Google Business Profile optimization, helping me strengthen how my clinic appears on Google Search and Maps. For a local clinic in downtown Toronto, making it easier for people to find accurate information about my services, location, and booking options is incredibly valuable.
What stays with me most is the care and effort behind the work. I’m grateful to Amir and the Canada Create team for helping me build an online presence that reflects the business I’m working so hard to grow.
I would happily recommend Canada Create to other clinic owners and business owners looking for website design, Google Business Profile optimization, and thoughtful marketing guidance. Thank you for supporting ProDerma Clinic and for putting so much heart into your work!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Canada Create, and especially Amir Vincent, one of the owners. His personal involvement made all the difference.
As the owner of a boutique medical aesthetics practice, my business is very personal to me. I wanted a website that showed not just my services, but the philosophy, warmth and individualized care behind my practice. I had a very particular vision, and Canada Create brought it to life more beautifully than I imagined.
From day one, Amir was professional, enthusiastic and detail-oriented, and he took a real interest in understanding my business. He and his team treated the project as a partnership. They took the time to learn what makes my practice unique and how to communicate that to new clients.
The website is beautiful. It's elegant, welcoming and thoughtfully designed, from the overall look and photography to how the information is laid out. It feels authentic to my brand and makes exactly the impression I was hoping for.
They also arranged a professional photoshoot for my practice, which was a highlight. The photos add a personal touch that captures the personality of my business. That matters so much in an industry built on trust and connection.
I've been just as impressed by their technical knowledge. Canada Create manages my website analytics and helps me understand how the site is performing and how to grow my online presence over time. That ongoing support is invaluable. They understand a website has to do more than look good. It has to help build the business.
Their communication, patience and willingness to listen have been wonderful. They took my ideas seriously while bringing their own expertise and creative suggestions. I always felt valued as a person, not just another client. I've spent years building a practice that reflects my values, so I really appreciate people who take pride in their work, and I see that in Amir and his team.
I'm so proud of what we've created together and look forward to continuing to work with Canada Create as my practice grows. If you're considering a new website, a brand refresh or a stronger online presence, I recommend them wholeheartedly.
Amir, thank you for your guidance, dedication and care. And thank you to the whole Canada Create team for turning my vision into something so beautiful. A five-star experience!
