Invisible on Maps & AI
“Best shawarma near me” and “where should we eat tonight” now get answered by Google Maps, ChatGPT and AI Overviews. If a location isn’t in the top 3, it doesn’t exist.

The problem
Your hungriest customers are choosing someone else, and you never see it happen.
Apps own your customers
Delivery apps take a cut of every order and keep the customer data. Your regulars become their regulars, and you pay to reach them again.
No single view of growth
Every location reports differently. You can’t tell which marketing is working, which store is slipping, or where the next dollar should go.
The Restaurant Growth System
Five engines. One goal: more orders per location.
Not a menu of services. A system built from running real restaurants and retail for 20+ years.
Google Maps domination
Every location’s Google Business Profile optimized, posted to and ranked for “near me” and dish-level searches.
AI search visibility (AEO)
Get recommended when diners ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI Overviews where to eat, with schema, menus and citations AI trusts.
Paid campaigns that fill tables
Meta and Google ads with weekly offer rotation, geo-targeted per location to your slow days and dayparts.
Commission-free ordering & loyalty
Your own online ordering, SMS and loyalty program, so repeat customers order direct and you keep the margin and the data.
Reviews & reputation engine
Automated review requests and response management that lift ratings, the #1 signal for Maps and AI rankings.
The Command Center
See what’s working at every location, every Monday.
One dashboard for your whole group: online orders, Maps rankings, reviews, ad spend and the offers to run next week. Followed by a 15-minute call. No guessing, no 40-page reports.
- Location-by-location orders and trends
- Maps rank and review score per store

“Setmedia helped me with website, online order platform, social media posts and SEO for my Middle Eastern Shawarma Restaurant in Mississauga. Their service and work is excellent, they communicate with me weekly. My restaurant website is ranked on first page of Google and I have consistent flow of new and repeat customers. I highly recommend setmedia for restaurant marketing.”

Built for
Restaurant groups with 3 to 25 locations.
- Independent multi-location groups across Ontario
- Multi-unit franchise owners running 3+ stores
- Growing brands opening their next location
- Owners who want numbers every week, not excuses
Probably not a fit if
- You want one-off flyers or social posts only
- You expect organic rankings overnight
- You’re not ready to invest in growth for at least 6 months
Single location? We still take a limited number each quarter. Ask in your audit.
Built by an operator
We’ve run real businesses. We know every dollar has to come back.
SETMedia started in 2015 from our office at 55 King St W in downtown Kitchener. Before we marketed anyone else’s business, we ran our own: retail convenience stores since 2003, gas stations since 2004 and restaurants since 2013.
So we don’t sell likes, impressions or SEO packages. We build growth systems for restaurant groups and measure them the way you do: orders, bookings and sales at every location.

FAQ
Questions restaurant owners ask us
How fast will we see more orders?
Paid campaigns usually drive orders within the first 2–3 weeks. Google Maps and AI search rankings take about 3–4 months to compound. After that, your cost per order drops.
How is pricing structured?
Plans start at $999 per location per month, including $400 in ad budget. Your audit ends with a fixed quote, no surprises.
What is AI search optimization for restaurants?
It’s making sure ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews recommend your restaurant when someone asks where to eat, through structured menu data, reviews and trusted citations.
Do we have to leave Uber Eats and DoorDash?
No. We keep the apps for discovery and shift repeat customers to your own commission-free ordering, where you keep the margin and the customer data.
Which areas do you serve?
We’re based in Kitchener and work with restaurant groups across Ontario: Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, the GTA, Hamilton, London and Brantford.
