Our Story

A Dublin agency with
one clear obsession

Getting local businesses in Ireland found on Google — with the right audience, at the right moment, through the right channels.

The Origin

Why Clonbru exists

Clonbru was born from a simple frustration. Walking the streets of Dublin, speaking with restaurant owners, shop managers and service providers, the same story kept coming up: great businesses, loyal customers, skilled teams — but almost invisible online.

Meanwhile, their competitors — not necessarily better, just better optimised — were picking up every new customer who turned to Google. The gap wasn't about quality of service. It was about who showed up first.

That's the problem Clonbru was built to solve. We focus on the channels that matter most for local visibility: Google Business Profile, Local SEO and Google Ads — because that's where your next customer is searching right now.

We're based in Dublin. We serve Ireland. And we're obsessed with one thing: making sure the businesses that deserve to be found actually are.

Felipe Gomes
Founder & Lead Strategist, Clonbru

Felipe Gomes is a Dublin-based digital marketing strategist and web designer with a background spanning professional kitchens, content creation and freelance consulting — all of which shaped a uniquely practical approach to helping businesses grow.

Born in Brazil and building his career in Ireland since 2017, Felipe brings an international perspective to every project, combined with on-the-ground knowledge of the Dublin business landscape. He understands what it takes to run a local business in Ireland — and exactly what it takes to make one visible online.

"I started Clonbru because I kept seeing brilliant local businesses lose customers to competitors who were simply better at showing up on Google. That's entirely fixable — and fixing it is what we do."

Mission & Values

What drives everything we do

Our mission: to help every local business in Dublin and Ireland build a Google presence strong enough to grow without depending on luck.

Local First

Every strategy starts with a deep understanding of the Irish market — how local consumers search, what they trust, and how Google ranks businesses in Ireland specifically.

Radical Transparency

No jargon. No inflated reports. You'll always know exactly what we're working on, what it costs, and what results to expect — in plain, honest English.

Results Over Vanity

We don't celebrate impressions or follower counts. We celebrate calls, bookings, direction requests and revenue — the things that actually matter to a local business.

Long-Term Thinking

Quick wins are nice, but lasting visibility is better. We build Google presences designed to compound over time — so your business keeps growing even while you sleep.

Our Approach

We don't guess.
We audit, then act.

Every engagement at Clonbru starts with a thorough audit of your current Google presence. We look at your Google Business Profile, your organic rankings, your competitor landscape in Dublin, and any existing Google Ads activity.

Only then do we build a strategy — one that's specific to your business, your location, your industry, and your goals. No cookie-cutter packages. No wasted budget.
