[01]SITUATION

East101 is an Asian fusion restaurant in Limassol and Paphos, Cyprus — rated 4.8★, mid-to-high price point, focused on Japanese cuisine and fusion. Hungry Angry operates in the same two cities with a distinct concept: artisan burgers and shawarma, casual format, lower average check.

Both brands run under one Google Ads account, active since December 2023. The challenge: making two brands across two cities legible in reporting, while keeping ‘get directions to the restaurant’ as the primary conversion goal — the action that most directly translates to a paying guest walking through the door.

[02]CAMPAIGN STRUCTURE — 2 BRANDS × 2 CITIES

Each brand-city pair runs as an isolated campaign. This creates five independent performance units with separate budgets, bidding, and CPA targets. Mixing brands or cities in one campaign makes attribution impossible.

[04]KEY INSIGHTS
01'Get directions' is the highest-intent conversion in HoReCa — and almost always mis-set

A user requesting directions has already decided to visit. That click costs €0.59 in Paphos. Website sessions, phone call clicks, and menu views are all downstream proxies — they measure interest, not commitment. Setting the wrong primary KPI trains the algorithm on the wrong population from day one, and the inefficiency compounds over months.

02Two brands in one account is an invisibility problem, not a budgeting problem

East101 (Asian fusion, 4.8★, higher check) and Hungry Angry (burgers and shawarma, casual) attract different audiences at different intent levels. Blending them makes aggregate CPA look acceptable while masking that one brand consistently outperforms the other. Separate campaigns make per-brand optimization possible — and reveal that Paphos outperforms Limassol by 52% on CPA.

03Cyprus requires three languages or you miss a third of your addressable audience

Limassol and Paphos have three dominant tourist segments: English-speaking (UK, US, international), Russian-speaking (significant expat and tourist community), and German-speaking. Serving a single-language campaign means the algorithm cannot reach the other two segments at all — they search in their native language and never see the ad.

04Google Smart Campaigns for local restaurants are underrated at the right budget level

Smart Campaigns manage Search, Maps, Display, and YouTube with a single budget and a single goal. For a restaurant with €8–13/day per brand-city pair, this is the right abstraction level. More granular campaign types require more data volume per decision — at sub-€15/day, Smart with a correct KPI outperforms manual Search.

[05]OUTCOME

Two brands, two cities, five independent campaigns — running continuously since December 2023. 14,269 direction conversions across all campaigns. Best result: East101 Paphos at €0.59 CPA — each new restaurant guest costs less than a cup of coffee in advertising spend. Trilingual coverage (EN/RU/DE) ensures all three major Cyprus tourist segments are reached.
