How to check a site for the Spotify 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 pixel.byspotify.com. 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 pixel.byspotify.com.

Spotify advertisers: common questions

Is this the total number of Spotify advertisers?

No. We detected the Spotify Ads tag on 3,816 domains among 1,268,817 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 Spotify?

In our comparison panel, 24% of sites with the AdSwizz tag also carry the Spotify Ads tag, against 0.7% of the full panel. Next come Snapchat Ads (11%), Nextdoor Ads (8%) and Quora Ads (8%).

How does Spotify compare to other ad platforms?

Within our 468,601-site tag-manager panel, Spotify ranks #12 of 14 major ad platforms by detected sites — ahead of Quora Ads and Nextdoor Ads, behind Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft Ads and TikTok Ads.

What is pixel.byspotify.com?

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

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

Open the site in Chrome, open DevTools → Network, reload, and filter for "pixel.byspotify.com". 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.
