Snapchat has seen a significant surge in ad portal traffic over the past month. Despite posting disappointing earnings results recently, April saw a 126% increase in mobile revenue growth for the platform.
Snap Inc. recently reported mixed earnings results, but one bright spot was the 126% increase in mobile ad portal traffic as spotted by Similarweb. Companies are beginning to view Snapchat as a competitive option to other social media platforms. Despite its impressive expansion, the site still needs help making a profit. Most of Snapchat's traffic growth has come from outside the US because the company is still trying to establish itself there.
At the same time, US traffic to Twitter's ad portal was up 4.8% year-over-year in April, indicating a potential return of domestic advertisers. Unfortunately, worldwide traffic to the portal remains sceptical at a 20.7% decrease.
Snapchat has been making progress towards improving its advertising business by introducing new product features such as shoppable ads and demographic targeting options for businesses looking to reach specific audiences on the platform. They have added fresh alternatives for users to engage with advertisements, like augmented reality lenses and games integrated into sponsored posts.
Despite these developments, many experts believe Snap Inc.'s revenue growth will stay sluggish since it can't persuade big businesses like Facebook and Google to use their services regularly. Furthermore, since they are worried about their privacy or do not think the advertising is sufficiently relevant to their interests, a significant portion of Snapchat's present users do not actively interact with the ads.
With a 13.7% rise from March to April, Snapchat's net revenue from the App Store was $8.7 million, as per AppFigures data. Despite the possibility that Snapchat's income growth rate isn't the fastest, it has been rising month over a month ever since the in-app purchase feature was implemented is encouraging. Snapchat effectively sells status by offering early access to features, but in the current business environment, they need to provide more to draw users and advance its growth rate.
Regarding advertising, Snapchat saw a 126% rise in ad portal traffic globally in April compared to last year. Its traffic share among rivals Meta/Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and TikTok rose from 0.6% to 1.4%. Facebook's ad portal traffic decreased by 7.8% yearly, whereas Twitter's traffic increased within the US and decreased by 20.7% globally. The growth in TikTok's ad gateway traffic was 13.4% globally but just 4.8% in the US, which indicates the app's regulatory obstacles in the US market. We can foresee how these social media companies' operations will develop by monitoring traffic to their ad portals.
