Lesson 4: Promoting your business

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to get your business discovered and attract more customers on Uber Eats.

Let’s start with what’s included. From running ads to creating promotions, we’ll show you how to stand out on Uber Eats.

Part 1: Ads

Put your business front and center. Learn how to get seen in more places by more people.

Part 2: Promotions

Stand out from the crowd. Choose promotions that help you reach your business goals.

Part 1: Ads

When people open the Uber Eats app, ads are some of the first businesses they see. This means you’ll get more visibility with people all over your city.

  • Step 6: Optimize as you go
