Nextdoor Pitched Brands on Neighborhood-Level Targeting Over ZIP Codes
· 1h ago · Originally reported by Beet.TV
Nextdoor is urging advertisers to move beyond ZIP code targeting, arguing that a single ZIP can contain several distinct neighborhoods with different spending habits. Because members provide a home address at signup, the company has spent years mapping verified residential data and now wants brands to target at that finer neighborhood level.
Why it matters
If advertisers adopt neighborhood-level targeting, local campaigns could become far more precise than ZIP-based media buys, changing how budgets flow to hyperlocal audiences.
Explain it like I’m new here
It's like aiming a water hose at each flower in a garden instead of just watering by the fence line — Nextdoor says it knows exactly which block people live on.
