Your Private Social Network
Nextdoor is the world’s largest social network for your local neighbourhood. It’s like Facebook Marketplace meets Gumtree, but on steroids.
We really like their website. One cool feature that they are launching is something called Local Deals, allowing businesses, service providers to win new business from their neighbours. With Local Deals, businesses only pay to communicate with the people they want to reach, using Nextdoor’s new hyper-local targeting tool.
According to research, 90% of consumers make the majority of their purchases within 15 minutes of their home, and Nextdoor is the only platform where businesses can ensure Local Deals reach real neighbours with verified addresses at the neighbourhood level.
Their Competition
Nextdoor allows neighbors to easily create private online communities for their neighborhood to facilitate communication among neighbors and build stronger neighborhoods.
Nextdoor was created based on the idea that the neighborhood is one of the most important and useful communities in a person’s life. Nextdoor’s purpose is to empower neighbors everywhere to build stronger local communities. Nextdoor’s mission is to be the essential local platform for neighbors to build connections, stay informed, and help each other in their everyday lives.
Meeteyis a location-based social media application. If you think you got them figured out, then you have to think again because one thing they are is different from any other chatting and dating application that you know. Here, they focus on bringing neighbors together and creating ties especially among those people who are newly moved. They make sure that they do not feel alone by allowing them to get to know better their neighbors that even if they encounter any troubles in their vicinity or their property, they can easily seek help from them.

Meet The Neighbors is an ongoing endeavor to create friendships and community between people who live in the same building or immediate neighborhood. They aim to help people build real-life, off-line relationships that are “geographically desireable.” By removing the barriers that keep us from speaking to each another, new friendships, ideas, actions and endeavors result.

Nextdoor has proven to be the most valuable interactive social media platform South Metro Fire Rescue utilizes from a fiscal and interpersonal perspective.
Nextdoor is unique because you’re speaking directly to your neighbors. I brought Nextdoor to St. Louis because we needed to tap into the ideas within the communities and have a way for them to organize.
If people in my community don't know who we are, then we have a problem. Nextdoor has become my go-to form of communication with residents.

Their mission is to be the essential local platform for neighbors to build connections, stay informed, and help each other in their everyday lives.
The heart and soul of Nextdoor are the helpful conversations that happen between neighbors. When conversations turn disagreeable, everyone on Nextdoor suffers. Our Guidelines prohibit posts and replies that discriminate against, attack, insult, shame, bully, or belittle others.
Nextdoor is a communication platform that allows neighbors to mobilize and get stuff done like never before. However, favorite causes that are pushed too hard, political campaigning, and personal views on controversial issues will inevitably rub one’s neighbors the wrong way. They rely on our members to report those who are over-posting, campaigning, and posting or ranting about controversial, non-local issues.
On Nextdoor, we support local commerce. We also encourage members to share helpful information about their favorite businesses and to buy, sell, and give things away to their neighbors. They encourage businesses to post deals specifically for their neighbors. However, both personal and business profiles have important limitations on how, where, and the kinds of commercial content they can post.
Nextdoor is a network for you and the people who live in your local community. To that end, using your true identity and honestly representing yourself are key parts of being a Nextdoor member.
Keep all content and activity family-friendly and legal, and adhere to our rules about regulated goods and services.
