Walk away with a written gap analysis in 5 working days. No pitch. No follow-up calls you didn't ask for.
Trusted by independent food and drink venues across the UK and Europe.
Booked Wild is a UK marketing agency for independent food and drink venues. We build the AI search visibility, direct booking infrastructure, and reputation that turn destination restaurants, gastropubs, cafés, and bars into the answer travellers find — without paying ransom to OpenTable, Tripadvisor, or Uber Eats.
You're working harder than ever. Your tables don't show it.
OpenTable owns your reservations. Tripadvisor owns your reviews. Uber Eats owns your delivery customers. ChatGPT and Perplexity own the new front door.
Every commission paid is a piece of your independence handed away. Every algorithm change rewrites your margin without warning.
The venues that survive the next five years will be the ones who own their bookings, their guest list, and their reputation — not the ones who rent visibility month after month.
We rebuild your website, Tripadvisor profile, and Google Business Profile so ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can read them and recommend you. Schema markup, plain-text pricing, FAQ pages, AI crawler permissions. Most independents haven't done this. Your competitors are starting to.
One clear answer to "why book here" — repeated identically on your website, Tripadvisor, OpenTable, and LinkedIn. Multiple price points so guests can choose at the level that fits them: the chef's table, the private dining room, the cookery class, the bottled house sauce.
We add a direct booking layer on top of OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or whatever you use. CRM with every guest in one place. Pre-arrival nurture. Post-stay review automation. Email and SMS lists you own. Direct bookings rise. Cover fees fall.
Trade press placements. Founder or head chef bio resolvable across the AI-readable web. Review automation that gets you past 1,000 Google reviews — the point where AI starts recommending you sharply more often.
Outreach to neighbouring venues, regional tourism boards, and Destination Marketing Organisations. Embedded local itineraries. The boutique hotel up the road. The vineyard ten minutes away. Distribution you don't have to build alone.

A normal SEO agency optimises your site for Google's blue links. We optimise it for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — the engines travellers actually use to plan trips in 2026. Different rules. Different work.
No. We sit on top of whatever booking system you already use. Direct bookings rise as the percentage flowing through OpenTable falls. You stay in control.
