In this Q&A episode of The Marketing Medic, Anthony Clarke breaks down what’s working right now for restaurant marketing on social media: whether you should post polished “pro” content or raw iPhone videos, how often to post without worrying about “burnout,” and what to fix first when your marketing feels all over the place. You’ll learn why the algorithm rewards content quality (not follower count), why testing formats matters, and how choosing one primary platform can create faster momentum plus a reminder to thrive (not just survive) as marketing evolves with AI.

Restaurant owners wrote in with real marketing problems. Low engagement, slow days, influencer confusion, and unclear results. In this episode, Anthony breaks down what’s actually working right now, what’s a waste of time, and how to market with intention instead of guesswork.
