Nextdoor Holdings, Inc. announced a partnership with Waze on November 10 2025 that will embed Waze’s real‑time traffic and road‑closure data into the company’s Nextdoor Alerts platform. The integration will allow neighbors to view accidents, road closures, hazards, and traffic‑light outages on a map, discuss the situation in the community feed, and click through to Waze for detailed navigation instructions.
The new feature builds on Nextdoor’s July 2025 launch of its real‑time alert service, adding a layer of high‑frequency, location‑specific content that is already among the most requested alert types by users. By displaying Waze data directly within the neighborhood network, Nextdoor can keep users engaged for longer periods and provide a more compelling context for local advertisers.
Strategically, the partnership aligns with Nextdoor’s mission to keep neighbors informed and safe. The addition of traffic alerts is expected to deepen daily usage, create a new stream of advertising inventory tied to real‑time events, and differentiate Nextdoor from competitors that lack a verified, hyperlocal community base. Management has highlighted that traffic alerts are among the top requested alert types, underscoring the potential for increased engagement and ad revenue.
The partnership comes shortly after Nextdoor reported Q3 2025 results that included a 5% year‑over‑year revenue increase to $69 million—above analyst expectations of $66.51 million—and a GAAP net loss of $13 million, while adjusted EBITDA rose to $4 million. CEO Nirav Tolia noted that integrating Waze’s data would “ensure our neighbors have the information they need to make smarter and safer decisions before they leave home.” The partnership is positioned to support Nextdoor’s broader “NEXT” initiative, which focuses on scaling self‑serve advertising and enhancing the user experience.
While the announcement did not disclose a specific rollout timeline or projected financial impact, the integration is expected to roll out gradually across the United States. The partnership is anticipated to expand Nextdoor’s advertising inventory and strengthen its monetization pipeline, complementing the company’s recent progress toward profitability and its focus on high‑margin, high‑frequency content.
Overall, the Nextdoor–Waze partnership represents a strategic move to enhance user engagement, diversify revenue streams, and reinforce Nextdoor’s competitive advantage in the hyperlocal community space.
