As more and more businesses offer robust delivery and takeout offers, it can be hard to stand out from the crowd. That’s why we launched Grubhub Ads, a new marketing tool designed to help you get more eyes on your business, stand out from the competition, and drive more sales. 

What is Grubhub Ads?

Grubhub Ads is a powerful marketing tool merchants can tap into to feature their business in prominent areas on Grubhub, like on the homepage and search results, to drive more traffic to their business.

With Grubhub Ads, your business can:

• Stand out from competitors: Attract customers with advertising placements in highly popular areas on Grubhub, making it easier for them to discover and order from you.
• Customize your strategy: Manage campaigns and target customers on specific days and time effortlessly, giving you control over who sees your business and when.
• Drive sales during slow periods: Give your business a boost when you need it most, like during off-peak hours or on the holidays, by running your ad campaign during specific days and times.

Using Grubhub Ads is like moving your business from the side street to a prime location on Main Street. It makes it easier for customers in your area to see your business when they search for their next meal on Grubhub, making it more likely they will notice and order from your business.

In New York, where there’s no shortage of restaurants, you need to be in the top 10 placements to get noticed. Since using Grubhub Ads, orders are up 15-20%
