Why Choose Our Grab Ads Services?

Deep Grab Advertising Platform Knowledge

Grab’s advertising ecosystem is complex, with multiple ad formats spanning ride-hailing, food delivery, grocery, and payments. Our team has hands-on experience with every Grab Ads product and knows exactly which placements deliver the strongest results for different business types and campaign objectives in the Singapore market.

Data-Driven Audience Targeting

Grab’s first-party data provides uniquely powerful targeting capabilities based on real-world behaviour including travel patterns, dining preferences, spending habits, and location data. We leverage these targeting options to reach your ideal customers with precision that traditional digital advertising platforms simply cannot match.

Full Campaign Management and Optimisation

We handle every aspect of your Grab Ads campaign from strategy and creative production to launch, monitoring, and optimisation. Our team tracks performance daily, adjusts targeting and bids in real time, and ensures your advertising budget generates maximum impact across the Grab platform.

Our Grab Ads Process

1

Objective Setting and Audience Strategy

We define your campaign goals, identify target audience segments using Grab’s behavioural data, and recommend the ad formats and placements that align with your objectives and budget.

2

Creative Development

Our design team produces ad creatives tailored to Grab’s specific format requirements and the user context of each placement. Ads designed for a GrabFood browsing experience differ significantly from those targeting ride-hailing users, and we optimise accordingly.

3

Campaign Launch and Monitoring

We launch your campaigns with structured A/B tests and monitor performance closely during the initial learning phase. Real-time adjustments ensure your ads reach the right audience segments from the start.

4

Optimisation and Scaling

Based on performance data, we refine targeting parameters, rotate creatives, and scale successful campaigns. Underperforming elements are identified and replaced to continuously improve results.

5

Reporting and Strategic Review

Monthly reports detail campaign performance including reach, engagement, conversions, and cost efficiency alongside competitive insights and strategic recommendations for the next phase.

What’s Included in Our Grab Ads Management

  • Channel fit: whether self-serve merchant ads, managed GrabAds or a mix suits your goals and budget.
  • Merchant ads for F&B and retail: sponsored listings on GrabFood and GrabMart, keyword and placement choices, and daily budget pacing.
  • Managed GrabAds campaigns: in-app banners, rides and transport placements, and audience targeting built on Grab’s transaction data.
  • Creative: visuals and copy sized for each placement.
  • Measurement: orders, store visits and promo-code redemptions tied back to campaigns.

How Grab Ads Pricing Works

There are two routes. GrabFood and GrabMart merchants can start with self-serve sponsored listings from about S$20 to S$50 a day. Grab’s managed advertising offering is priced for mid-market and enterprise brands, with campaigns typically from S$10,000 to S$30,000. In-app display CPMs typically range from S$8 to S$25. Management is billed the way most Singapore agencies bill paid media: about 20% of monthly ad spend, or a fixed management or campaign setup fee from S$600. Very large budgets, such as MNC-level spend, are typically closer to 10%.

Who Grab Ads Suits

  • F&B outlets and cloud kitchens competing for GrabFood orders.
  • Retail, FMCG and consumer brands that want to reach people near their outlets or by spending behaviour.
  • Financial, travel and lifestyle brands targeting active Grab users across Southeast Asia.

Frequently Asked Questions

GrabFood and GrabMart merchant ads are self-serve sponsored listings for merchants on the platform. GrabAds is Grab’s managed advertising offering for brands, with in-app and transport placements and larger minimum budgets.

Yes, through GrabAds managed campaigns. You do not need to sell on GrabFood or GrabMart to reach Grab users, but budgets are higher than merchant self-serve ads.

Grab Ads services cover the strategy, creation, and management of advertising campaigns within the Grab ecosystem, including in-app display ads, GrabFood and GrabMart sponsored listings, and native content placements. For Singapore businesses, Grab Ads offer access to millions of active local users with targeting capabilities based on real-world behaviour and transaction data.

Grab offers several advertising formats including in-app display banners, native content cards, GrabFood and GrabMart sponsored search listings, ride-hailing journey ads, post-transaction ads, and masthead takeovers. Each format targets users at different points in their Grab experience, and we recommend the right mix based on your campaign objectives.

Grab Ads pricing varies by format and campaign type. GrabFood sponsored listings can start from as little as a few hundred dollars monthly, while larger display and awareness campaigns typically require minimum budgets of SGD 5,000 to SGD 10,000. Management is billed at about 20% of ad spend, or a fixed management or setup fee from S$600, and we work within your budget to maximise results.

Not at all. While GrabFood sponsored listings are popular among F&B brands, Grab’s display and native ad formats are used effectively by businesses across retail, financial services, travel, healthcare, automotive, real estate, and many other industries. Any brand that wants to reach Singapore consumers on a platform they use daily can benefit from Grab Ads.

Grab’s targeting leverages first-party data from user behaviour across its ecosystem. You can target audiences based on demographics, location, travel patterns, dining preferences, spending behaviour, and GrabPay transaction history. This level of behavioural targeting is unique to Grab and enables highly precise audience segmentation unavailable on traditional ad platforms.

Yes. Grab’s location-based targeting allows you to reach users near your physical location or along common travel routes. Geo-fenced campaigns can deliver ads to users within a specific radius of your store, and ride-hailing placements can target consumers during journeys to relevant areas. This makes Grab Ads particularly effective for driving footfall.

GrabFood sponsored listings boost your restaurant’s visibility in search results and category pages within the GrabFood app. When users search for food or browse categories, your listing appears in prominent positions above organic results. You pay on a cost-per-click or cost-per-order basis, making it a performance-driven advertising option for F&B businesses.

Yes, Grab Ads can target users across multiple Southeast Asian markets including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam. Our team manages cross-border campaigns from Singapore, handling the market-specific nuances and creative localisation required to run effective campaigns in each country.

We track impressions, clicks, click-through rates, conversions, cost-per-acquisition, and return on ad spend as core metrics. For GrabFood campaigns, we also monitor order volume, average order value, and new versus returning customer ratios. All metrics are compiled into clear monthly reports with actionable insights.

We recommend a minimum three-month commitment to allow sufficient time for campaign optimisation and meaningful data collection. However, we offer flexible arrangements and do not lock clients into long-term contracts. Our goal is to demonstrate clear value quickly so you choose to continue based on results, not obligation.
