Digital marketing for hospitality and restaurants in the UAE
Dubai has one of the most crowded hospitality markets in the world. New restaurants open every week, hotels fight OTAs for every booking, and guests decide where to go from Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps and a quick look at reviews.
We help hotels, restaurants, cafes, beach clubs and attractions win those moments: ranking in the map pack, filling feeds with content people save and share, working with the right creators, and pushing more guests to book direct instead of through commission platforms.
Common marketing challenges in hospitality and restaurants
OTA and delivery commissions
Booking.com, Expedia, Talabat and Deliveroo bring guests but take a large share of each sale. Direct bookings protect margin.
Seasonal demand
Summer dips, Ramadan, Dubai Shopping Festival, F1 and New Year all need different offers and timing, planned weeks ahead.
Review-driven choice
Guests compare Google and Tripadvisor ratings before they book. A few unanswered bad reviews cost more than any ad campaign can win back.
Short attention spans
A dish or a pool view has about a second to stop the scroll. Content has to be made for Reels and TikTok, not repurposed brochures.

06Email Marketing for hospitality and restaurants

Win the map pack and the "best of" searches
Searches like "best brunch in Dubai" or "seafood restaurant JBR" are decided by Google Maps rankings, review volume and photos. We optimise your profile, keep menus and hours accurate, post weekly offers and steer happy guests to leave reviews, so you climb above the restaurant next door.
For hotels we also target "staycation", "beach hotel" and event searches, with landing pages that show your best rate and push the booking through your own engine.
Content and creators people actually save
We plan shoots around what guests share: signature dishes, sunset views, live cooking, behind-the-scenes kitchen moments. Creator partnerships are chosen on audience fit and past performance, not follower counts, and each one gets a unique booking code so you can see the covers it drove.
Direct bookings over commission
We track every booking source and shift budget to the channels that bring direct revenue: Google Hotel Ads and brand search for hotels, reservation links and WhatsApp for restaurants, and email offers for past guests. The aim is a steadily higher share of direct business each quarter.

Hospitality and restaurants marketing FAQs
Can't find your answer? Talk to our team and we'll reply within one business day.
Do you work with new restaurant openings?
Yes. We plan pre-opening teasers, creator tastings, profile setup and launch ads so you have bookings from the first week.
Can you reduce our reliance on OTAs?
Yes. Brand search ads, Google Hotel Ads, a faster booking engine and email offers usually shift a meaningful share of bookings to direct within a few months.
How do you measure influencer results?
Each creator gets a unique code or link, and we report covers, bookings and revenue, not just reach.
Do you manage Talabat and Deliveroo listings?
We optimise listing content, photos and reviews and run your own social and search activity to drive ordering, including direct ordering where you have it.
