Digital marketing for restaurants in Geneva comes down to one thing: being found at the exact moment someone is hungry. A quick search for a restaurant nearby, a glance at Google Maps, three photos and two reviews skimmed in passing — the decision is made in under a minute. Digital Swiss Agency, based at Rue Alberto Giacometti 3, 1218 Geneva, helps restaurants, cafés and caterers own that first minute: local visibility, photos that make people hungry, active social media and proper review management.
What we actually do for your venue
No vague concepts. Here is the real work we put in place for a Geneva restaurant.
- Google Maps and local search visibility: a complete, well-optimised business profile (categories, opening hours, neighbourhood, menu, booking links), consistent information across the web, and local content. Our article on local ranking factors on Google Maps explains what genuinely moves the needle.
- Photos and videos that make people hungry: plates, dining room, team, kitchen behind the scenes. A dark or blurry photo costs you covers. We produce the visuals, and we also show you how to shoot your own with nothing but a phone, using our guide to DIY product photography for small businesses.
- Social media: Instagram, Facebook and TikTok kept in step with your menu — dish of the day, new additions, lunch deals, private events. Regular posting, replies to messages, a tone that matches your house. This sits at the heart of our social media management in Geneva.
- Review management: a clean way of collecting reviews from happy guests, plus written replies to every review, negative ones included. Our Google review collection and reply strategy is the basis of this work.
- Website and online menu: a fast site that reads well on a phone, with an up-to-date menu, opening hours, directions and a booking button. Rankings then follow through our SEO work in Geneva.
- Local advertising: Meta, TikTok or Google campaigns targeted within a radius of your address, switched on when you need them — quiet weekdays, opening the terrace, launching a new menu.
Who this is for: restaurants, cafés, caterers and food businesses
We work with neighbourhood restaurants and more established tables, cafés and tea rooms, bakeries and pastry shops, takeaway kitchens and snack bars, caterers and meal delivery services, in Geneva, Lausanne and across French-speaking Switzerland. What these clients share: a team already stretched between the kitchen and the floor, with no spare hour a day for Instagram or Google reviews. That is exactly the part we take off your hands.
The real issue: filling tables midweek
Friday night often fills itself. The problem is Tuesday lunch and Wednesday evening. Our job is to create reasons to come in on those days: the lunch deal pushed at the right time of day, outreach to the offices and shops around you, offers visible on your Google profile at the moment people are searching, and content that reminds past guests you exist. Visibility alone is not enough — people also need a reason to cross the street.
Our method, step by step
- Free audit: we look at your Google profile, your photos, your reviews, your social accounts and your website, then tell you plainly what is holding you back.
- Plan and quote: you get a written proposal with the exact scope and the price stated upfront. No surprises on the invoice.
- Setup: business profile optimisation, a photo session or a clean-up of your existing visuals, a publishing calendar, and fixes to your website and online menu.
- Ongoing work: regular posting, replies to reviews and messages, and ad campaigns whenever they are worth running.
- Monthly review: a clear report on what was done and what is moving, then the adjustments for the month ahead.

Our prices
A website from CHF 200 and social media management from CHF 50 per month. Everything else — SEO, online advertising, content creation, AI and automation — is priced in a free quote, sized to your venue. The principle never changes: the price is agreed before we start, and it does not move along the way.
Why work with us
We are a Swiss agency based in Geneva, working with small businesses, independents and local shops across the region. In practice that means three things. First, we know the ground: the neighbourhoods, lunchtime habits, the office crowd, the seasonality of terraces. Second, we stay reachable: send a WhatsApp message to +41 79 884 05 33 and you get an answer — which matters when a photo needs swapping before the evening service. Third, we work in both French and English, which counts in Geneva, where a large share of the clientele is international.
Want to know what is stopping your restaurant from being found and chosen? Get in touch through our contact page: the audit and the quote are free, and you will quickly know what to fix first.
