San Francisco, CA – Brave Search Ads has reported a staggering 1500% growth in click volume during 2024, alongside an impressive 80% increase in organic search queries.

This remarkable surge highlights Brave’s privacy-focused search engine’s growing success and burgeoning advertising platform, signaling a potential shake-up in the search advertising landscape.

The explosive growth is attributed to Brave’s strategy of targeting top-tier paid search advertisers who are seeking alternatives to Google Ads’ near-monopoly.

Brave Search Ads has attracted major players like Amazon Ads, Booking.com, and Wayfair by offering category exclusivity and access to a privacy-conscious audience of tech early adopters.

Advertisers are seeing significant conversion volumes, in some cases exceeding Brave’s market share, and achieving up to 5% growth on total paid search spend while maintaining their target return on ad spend (ROAS).

The success of Brave Search Ads is fueled by the continued expansion of the Brave browser, which boasts 80 million active users worldwide, and the effectiveness of search advertising itself.

With features like Answer with AI and ReRank, Brave Search is gaining popularity among users who value privacy and customizable search results.

This combination of a growing user base and a robust advertising platform has created a compelling alternative to traditional search engines, marking a significant step towards a more competitive and fair search advertising market.
