Nextdoor has introduced AI-powered click optimisation, a new feature within its proprietary Ads Manager that enhances hyperlocal advertising performance in the UK. The tool uses machine learning to improve click-through rates (CTR), reduce cost per click, and deliver significantly more clicks within the same budget, helping advertisers achieve stronger ROI from neighbourhood-level campaigns.
Nextdoor’s click optimisation leverages machine learning to dynamically adjust campaigns for maximum click performance while maintaining neighbourhood-level targeting precision. Beta results demonstrated substantial gains in CTR and cost efficiency, enabling brands to stretch media budgets further and drive deeper engagement.
Gareth Walton, Head of EMEA Sales at Nextdoor, commented: “Nextdoor’s new machine learning Click Optimisation is a game-changer for advertisers, enabling them to achieve more impactful results with their marketing spend. It ensures that budgets go further, whether the goal is reach, clicks, or conversion. What distinguishes Nextdoor from other social media platforms is our unique focus on verified neighbours and targeted advertising at the neighbourhood level. This precision and local engagement offer a compelling alternative to other platforms, delivering strong performance at scale. Brands can connect directly with household decision-makers, offering precision and efficiency for those aiming to engage locally at scale.”
Andrew Miller, AI & Emerging Tech Lead at Verisure, said: “Verisure prioritises reaching the right audience with precision. With Nextdoor’s new click optimisation, we've seen a transformation in our campaign performance. The AI-powered tools have significantly boosted our click-through rates and overall engagement, allowing us to connect with local communities more effectively. This innovation has made significant improvements to our cost per lead and ROI, delivering impressive results and reinforcing Verisure’s commitment to excellence.”
