Reviews and search decide
Most diners check Google, Yelp, Instagram or an AI assistant before choosing where to eat. A thin profile, old photos or unanswered reviews quietly send them somewhere else.

Marketing & PR for
restaurants and caterers.
Digital Fiancé, a digital media company, helps restaurants and catering companies fill tables and book events: stronger reviews, better visibility in Google Maps and AI search, press for openings, and a website that turns hungry searchers into guests.
The challenge
Guests decide before they ever walk in.
Catering needs a different pitch
Event planners and offices compare menus, minimums, reliability and responsiveness. They need clear catering pages, fast quotes and proof you can deliver at scale.
What we do
Everything that gets a restaurant found, trusted and booked.
Reviews & reputation
Review response guidelines, a steady system for asking happy guests for reviews, and professional handling of complaints that could spread.
Local search & Google Maps
Complete, accurate Google Business Profiles, menus, hours and photos, so you show up for searches like “best brunch near me”.
Openings & press
Story angles, media lists and pitches for openings, new menus, chefs and anniversaries, aimed at the food writers who cover your area.
Social media & content
Photography direction, short-form video ideas and a posting rhythm that shows the food, the room and the people.
Catering lead generation
Dedicated catering pages, quote forms and targeted campaigns for offices, weddings and events.
Website & online ordering
A fast, mobile-first site with menus as real text (not PDFs), reservations, ordering links and the details AI assistants need to recommend you.

Frequently asked questions.
How can a restaurant get more Google reviews?
Ask at the right moment, make it easy, and ask everyone. A short link or QR code on receipts, follow-up emails after reservations and a habit of staff mentioning reviews to happy guests work well. Never offer discounts in exchange for reviews; Google and Yelp prohibit it.
How should a restaurant respond to a bad review?
Reply promptly, calmly and briefly. Thank the guest, acknowledge the specific issue without arguing, explain what you are changing, and invite them to continue the conversation privately. Future guests read your reply more closely than the complaint.
Does a restaurant need PR or just social media?
Social media keeps regular guests engaged. PR earns third-party attention from food writers, local media and guides, which builds credibility and brings in new guests. Openings, new chefs and menu launches are the moments when PR usually pays off most.
How do catering companies get more corporate clients?
Make catering easy to find and buy: a dedicated catering page with sample menus, minimums and lead times, a fast quote form, and clear proof such as past events and client logos. Targeted outreach and search ads for office catering can then fill the pipeline.
Do you work with restaurants outside Los Angeles?
