How to check a site for the Snapchat Ads tag

  1. Open the site in Chrome and open DevTools (⌥⌘I on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows), then the Network tab.
  2. Reload and filter for sc-static.net. A request to it means the tag is live on that page.
  3. Not there? It may only fire on conversion pages, or sit inside Google Tag Manager. Search the container’s tags (or the gtm.js response) for sc-static.net.

Snapchat advertisers: common questions

Is this the total number of Snapchat advertisers?

No. We detected the Snapchat Ads tag on 3,299 domains among 1,008,359 company websites analysed. This is an observed sample of companies and startups, not an estimate of the platform's whole advertiser base.

Which advertisers are most likely to also use Snapchat?

In our comparison panel, 21% of sites with the Spotify Ads tag also carry the Snapchat Ads tag, against 2.0% of the full panel. Next come TikTok Ads (18%), Pinterest Ads (16%) and Quora Ads (13%).

Which companies use Snapchat for advertising?

They include Boeing, Starbucks, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Almarai - المراعي and etisalat UAE. The table on this page lists more.

How does Snapchat compare to other ad platforms?

Within our 134,794-site tag-manager panel, Snapchat ranks #11 of 14 major ad platforms by detected sites — ahead of Quora Ads, Spotify Ads and Nextdoor Ads, behind Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft Ads and TikTok Ads.

What is sc-static.net?

It serves Snap pixel — the tag advertisers add so Snapchat can measure ad clicks and conversions on their own site. Its presence means a site has set up Snapchat Ads measurement; it does not tell you how much, or whether, they are currently spending.

How can I check if a website has the Snapchat Ads tag?

Open the site in Chrome, open DevTools → Network, reload, and filter for "sc-static.net". A request to it means the tag is live on that page. If the site uses Google Tag Manager, the tag can also sit inside the container and fire only on certain pages.
