Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Thank you, Rami, and welcome everyone joining the call today.
I'm extremely proud of the first quarter financial result that we report yesterday. Revenue increased by 14% to $67 million ahead of our expectation. Our customer base grew 19% year over year to more than 5,700 ARR customers at quarter end.
We reported a sixth quarter of positive free cash flow while we continue our investment to realize the long-term potential of our business. The investments will begin in the fourth quarter in sales in R&D are starting to generate positive returns. We doubled the number of inside sales reps selling in this quarter as compared to Q1 last year and our progress on releasing new features like Gen AI, traffic intelligent, and free AI agents, our staff to be proud of.
We completed an accelerated recruitment of new salespeople at the end of the first quarter, and we are encouraged by the indication of improved productivity as they went. More than 80% of the new hires should be fully rented by Q3, and we expect this team to deliver in the second half of the year as planned.
I'm excited by our customer reaction to the launch of the new products since the beginning of the year. Those products provide tools that empower our customers to maximize ROI they get from our data and reduce them to value. We launched App Intelligence, expanding our app data and incorporating the acquisition of 42 methods last year. I'm super happy that Similarweb can now provide digital data on more than 4 million iOS and Android mobile apps in 58 countries.
App Intelligence give our customers visibility on app data, including download usage patterns, engagement, retention, and audience demographics. We are seeing strong demand and 484 of our customers have already signed up for the App Intelligence.
We're excited to be the leading company providing full digital visibility to brands, combining web, mobile web and app data, and providing our customers with a holistic real-time view of the entire digital world on one platform. This comprehensive coverage is really turning Similarweb into a mission critical resource for anyone that needs to understand digital behavior and market dynamics around the world.
We continue to develop products and capabilities to capitalize on the AI revolution. In March, we launch our AI chatbots traffic intelligence into our platform, and I'm really excited that our customers can now see data on the prompts and chatbots products that are sending traffic to website as part of our web intelligent offering.
As more customers move from traditional search to chatbots, this information is becoming critical to companies to drive impact in this new digital channel. I believe that we are the leading company in the world, providing this critical information to our customers that want to succeed in the digital ecosystem, and I'm very proud of that. The response from our customers is truly amazing, and the commercial piping for this data is growing fast.
On top of that, we are also rolling out a series of AI Agents to help our customer maximize the commercial opportunities provided by our data. Our first three AI Agents are now already live in our platform. The first one is the SEO Strategy AI agent, which show digital marketing professionals what they should do to promote the content strategy and how best to do it in order to win.
The second agent is our Traffic Trend Analyzer AI Agent, which automatically detect unusual spikes in sales demand and identified their causes, thereby helping companies act before the competition. Until now, analyzing and formulating and understanding of the reason, the why, for those changes was very hard and time consuming and this now can help them save time and get to the insight sector.
The third agent we release is our Meeting Prep AI agent for Sales team. That this agent build a strategic one pager meeting brief using our digital signals and our market data to reduce time of the salesperson spending time on research the prospects and help him improve his win rate.
The new product launches in the quarter of the first encouraging indication that the investments that we begin. We grow faster and we will produce higher margin going forward as part of this journey as an AI first company. And as I like to say, we are just getting started.
Thank you, everyone on the call for continued support. With that, I will turn the call over to Jason.
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
Thanks, Or and everyone joining on the call today to discuss our first quarter results. I'll provide highlights of our financial performance and then we'll open up the call to questions.
We generated $67.1 million of revenue in Q1, a 14% increase relative to Q1 '24. Revenue growth was driven by the 19% growth in customers, mainly in the below $100,000 ARR cohort, as well as expansions and upsells from our over $100,000 ARR customers. NRR for over $100,000 dollar customers increased by 400 basis points year over year to 111% and 300 basis points year over year to 101% for the overall customer base.
We are proud that 52% of our ARR is contracted under multi-year contracts, up from 42% last year. We believe this demonstrates the importance and critical nature of our data to our customers, and we expect these multi-year contracts will contribute to improved retention rates ahead.
Our remaining performance obligations, or RPO, totaled $253 million at the end of Q1, up 18% year over year. We expect to recognize approximately 69% of total RPO as revenue over the next 12 months. Our operational performance in the corner was in line with expectations, and we reported a non-GAAP operating loss of 2% in Q1 due to the increased investment in sales and R&D discussed in the past. We're committed to profitable growth over time and if returns on these investments do not materialize as planned, we're prepared to rapidly respond and improve profitability as we have in the past.
We think it's worthy to note that over the last three years we've improved operating margins by more than 4,000 basis points from minus 45% in the first quarter of 2022. This performance and our unit economics provide us with confidence in our ability to achieve our profit and cash flow targets.
We generated $5 million of normalized free cash flow in the quarter, a 7% free cash flow margin, and the sixth consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow. We expect to continue to generate positive free cash flow on a quarterly basis in 2025.
Turning to our outlook, we continue to monitor the global macroeconomic and market developments, leveraging the insights provided by Similarweb digital data to assess the potential impact of tariffs on our different markets. So far, we have not experienced a material impact on our business.
For the full year 2025, we are maintaining our previous guidance and expect total revenue in the range of $285 million to $288 million representing 15% year over year growth at the midpoint of the range, and expect our non-GAAP operating profit to be between $1 million and $4 million.
For Q2 2025, we expect total revenue in the range of $68.6 million to $69 million. Non-GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2025 is expected to be in the range of half a million to $1 million. We remain focused on delivering profitable growth over time as well as achieving our long-term profit and free cash flow targets.
And with that, Or and I are ready to answer your question.
Operator
Thank you. We will now be conducting a question and answer session. (Operator Instructions).
Operator
One moment please, while we pull forward questions.
Our first question comes from the line of Arjun Bhatia with William Blair and Company. Please proceed with your question.
Arjun Bhatia - Analyst
Perfect. Thank you so much.
I'm curious, obviously the investments are a big part of the, in Q4 and into Q1, a big part of the story here and it seems like you've completed the accelerated hiring process. I'm curious, or how you feel just about the hires you've made, the quality of the team that's been brought on. And as you're tracking kind of the ramp to productivity for some of the go to market investments and the sales reps. What exactly are you looking at just to make sure that, there is ROI on those investments and the ramp to productivity is happening in line with expectations to get your team kind of up and productive by I believe it was Q3 that you mentioned here.
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Hi, Arjun and of course, thank you everyone for joining the call today.
We look forward to speaking with everyone and thank you all for the first question. And so regarding the quality of the hiring, we're very happy from the quality. We learned a lot over the past few years about how we can bring the right persona to sell our specific offering that are about inside data and analytics.
And we built a very good process about measuring the activities and what we expect from those new hires to deliver in every part of the onboarding process, how many meetings, how many win rates we expect to see, and so, right now, looking good.
Arjun Bhatia - Analyst
Okay, great, and then on the product side, you've kind of integrated the AI chatbot traffic data into your platform now. What sort of early indications of usage or interest are you seeing from your customer base, obviously very pertinent and timely, given some of the comments we've heard recently from the ecosystem of maybe traffic starting to shift from search to the AI chatbots, but would love to hear what you're seeing in your customer base in terms of interest of your innovation on that front.
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Yeah, so it's super nice. The customers are really excited about it and it's, they see that and it's like that there is like a wow effect when they, when we show them the data. It's very unique, so it's very nice to see that it's like in the early days when we launched similar web and it felt like a magic that people didn't realize that this data is out there and the insights we can get out of it.
So the reaction is super nice, [so far up] a lot of interesting insight and visibility of something that right now is a very black box. I think most of the website owners right now out there don't have an idea about the impact of how much traffic those chatbots start generating in the channel. And also they have no visibility about what people are asking as prompt, and we bring those to that now. And it's very nice to see you give it to them and the impact is super nice.
Arjun Bhatia - Analyst
All right, perfect. Thank you, Or.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Raimo Lenschow with Barclays. Please proceed with your question.
Unidentified Participant
Hey guys, this is [Damon Cavan] from Raimo Lenschow. Thanks for the question.
Great to hear that the new talent you recently recruited has been driving improved yield and strong pipeline. Can you help us understand the level of visibility that you have for some of the deals that are supporting the revenue re-acceleration in the second half of the year? Just trying to gain clarity on the mechanics of the growth implied by the guide in the second half.
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
So we hire many people all across the go to market organization and there's many different position there you have a AM that needs to drive up cells and renewal. And you have in the sales in the new sales, you have a few fields of sellers. You have inside sales that need to let land like 20,000 deals. You have enterprise people they need to lend higher deals. You have start people they need to do high expansions. They also, you also have like a lot of entry level that needs to work on our self-serve customers there and move them to yearly.
So each one behaves differently and a different ramp time. And the more senior the rep and the more you know enterprise and above, it's taking longer much longer sale cycles. And so in the inside sales organization, you can see much faster the ramp and you can recognize the yield. The other was taking more time by nature.
Unidentified Participant
Got it. Thanks for. And then maybe just one for Jason. Is there anything factored into the top and bottom line guide from the search monitor acquisition?
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
And nothing material on that. There was a small business where we're excited to have him on board, not material contribution for the quarter of the year.
Unidentified Participant
Got it. And then just one quick one if I may, is there any change to your guidance philosophy for the rest of the year? Understand that it's an uncertain environment, so just kind of understand, some of the mechanics for the rest of the year. Thanks guys.
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
We haven't changed a lot of the assumptions, effects and the like, but we like to give guidance that we know that we can meet, so the same philosophy.
Unidentified Participant
Thanks guys.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Surinder Thind with Jefferies. Please proceed with your question.
Surinder Thind - Analyst
Thank you. Or, can you maybe talk a little bit about the your larger clients, the 100,000 clients, the behavior that you're seeing there, and some of the ongoing conversations, perhaps. It looked like the NRR number dipped a little bit quarter over quarter by about a percentage point.
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Yeah, of course, so I think the decline of this 1% was kind of mechanism because last year in Q3, we had big upsell and Q1, sorry, and I think it's increased the base a lot for this year, the upsell was not big as Q1, so this is why you have that.
And overall, the this bucket of $100,000 customers, I think we have above 400. You see that it's also have a few different types that you have a lot of very big companies. And Fortune 100 that are engaged and looking at us as the trusted the digital market data provider and they continue to buy more and more different data sets and they're growing significantly. And then you have a big pile of snow, companies that are digital first and digital is very important and they are engaging above $100,000 with that.
Surinder Thind - Analyst
Got it. And then just kind of the reverse with maybe some of the smaller clients in the S&D space.
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
And you want to know what type of customers in that bucket?
Surinder Thind - Analyst
No, just in terms of just the trends and the demand. It sounds like you onboarded a lot of new customers, this quarter in terms of just the number of accounts that grew and just kind of what you're seeing there, it sounds like, still a healthy appetite, actually improving appetite, if I was to potentially characterize it.
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Yeah. We still see a big demand on top of the funnel, and we have many legislation, hundreds of thousands per month, and we're seeing great success converting them to customers, yearly customers.
And also, as we said in the earning call, we see a big increase in the multi-year engagement that is something. And very good, that's good for us a good indication of companies that want to engage for the long term with us that they see value in our offering.
Surinder Thind - Analyst
That's helpful. And then just one final one for me, as you think about your strategy around building insights for the different chatbots, can you, is there any color that you can provide on all of the different partnerships that you can get to, or what coverage you can get versus what you currently have?
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
So I think that regarding coverage we feel confident that we can cover all of the big chatbots out there and provide the full visibility. We hope to launch this quarter like a full module around AI intelligence that will have the mix of the first product we launch that gives you that the traffic intelligence, and the second part will help you track your market share and your, how much you're visible on the chatbot. Because a lot of the time, the chatbot are quoting your brands, talking about your product, but don't give you a link and send you outside to go to other websites.
So there's two sides of the data brands want to see. One, how much traffic they're getting from chatbots and the prompts generate those traffics, and then they want to see overall how much market share, how much time my brand has been mentioned versus competition. And if the mention was if the sentiment was positive or negative, so this second part will launch this quarter and we will have a very strong offering for companies who want to get better visibility and success on this new digital channel, I will call it.
Surinder Thind - Analyst
Thank you.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jason Helfstein with Oppenheimer and Company. Please proceed with your question.
Jason Helfstein - Analyst
Thanks everybody. I guess I'll ask a few so, one is as you look to sell the AI related products, is it a different, like you selling to a different audience at the client. I mean, a lot of what you started with typically is with the right the marketing department but then, does it have to kind of go to a bigger level?
So how is, how do you envision selling the AI products differently than some of the legacy products to how, I guess, besides upgrading the overall quality of sales people like how is the strategy different, now under the new Chief Revenue Officer.
And then I guess lastly, the billing did slow in this quarter. I don't know if there's like. And again last year, first quarter was your slowest growth in billing, so I don't know if there's like an emerging pattern around first quarter is the slowing billing quarter, but just any color, Jason, just on around that like if there's like, there were some comments about upsells last year and that made tougher comps or just any other color there.
Thank you.
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Okay, so thank you, Jason, for the questions. I heard three questions. The first one, who is the ICP, ideal customer that can buy the AI intelligent model. The second one is around the CRO, and the third one is billing. I will start entering the first two, and I will give Jason to enter the billing.
So regarding the ideal customer to buy the AI intelligent data, as we all know it's a very new motion. Right now, we're presenting it to most of our users, and there is a big excitement around all personas because I think this is something very new and inside they appealing to many different roles from marketing, branding, SEO, PPC product, executive. And so right now, the excitement is around all different and customers we have in the platform. It's early to say who will be the buyer. I think it will end probably somewhere around marketing and I guess somewhere around search dimension acquisition or maybe brand.
And regarding the second question on the CRO, so, like every executive CRO just finished first year and usually when you have executive c-level, they need one year to set up the organization the way they need and then they start to execute. So, the CRO just finished her first year in the company and we are excited to see how she's going to execute going forward with all the changes she rolled up.
And then, Jason answer the billing question.
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
Hey Jason, on the billing side, it's just a function of the invoicing schedules sometimes and that's really a seasonal thing. Sometimes there are customers that are asking for to move from one month to another month and you get some of that shifting. But overall what you see is, free cash flow is still very strong. We did a 7% free cash flow generation this this quarter and I think we've guided that we'll continue to be positive free cash flow all throughout the year.
Jason Helfstein - Analyst
Thank you.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes in the line of Tyler Radke with Citi. Please proceed with your question.
Tyler Radke - Analyst
Hey, gentlemen, good morning. Thanks for taking the question. I wanted to follow up on the questions around billings, but actually ask about bookings. It looks like, current RPO bookings if we just take a look at the sequential change and in current RPO, that growth has slowed quite a bit over the last couple quarters, and I know there's been some pretty large compares in that number over the past year and a half with some of the large deals that you've signed, but help us understand what's driving that and any changes that you're expecting in terms of seasonality to the business. In other words, should we expect that current RPO to re-accelerate or rebound, in the back half of the year?
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
Hey Tyler, thanks for that. Yeah, current RPO is up 9% year over year, but we do think of that as somewhat seasonal. You see some of those big deals that we bigger deals that we signed last year were in Q2, Q3, so those burned down and then, well, when the renewals come up, those get invoiced again. So, the bookings and the current RPO will match that we believe going in the back end of the year and I think that's just say a function of the, of some of that change that you had a year over year.
Tyler Radke - Analyst
Got it. Okay, so we're [laughing] some pretty big deals in Q2, Q3, so we should see some replenishment of those numbers.
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
Exactly, and the same thing on the on the NRR comment that Or made before. Remember all those big upsells and big deals and we announced last year, two customers that crossed over to eight digit customers. At this point when we're at a 12 month look back, those are already in the baseline, so the NRR has to grow even bigger on bigger numbers so. So we're feeling good on the pipeline, but understand that there are, in the near term over the next couple of quarters, we've got some big numbers to match.
Tyler Radke - Analyst
Yeah, right, and on the new customer edition that looked like total new customers was quite strong, the quarter over quarter growth and new logos was well ahead of what you did in Q1 last year. Can you just talk about like the size of those deals like are the average deal size for lew lands, is it consistent with last year? Is it maybe lower because you're just prioritizing new logos, and any changes in the profile of customers now that you have kind of a new sales motion and a bigger sales force that's going after those.
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
I'm sorry about that. Yeah, very consistent with our strategy that we laid out over the last 18 months. We talked about the barbell strategy and part of the strategy that we said is that on one hand, we've got 60 61% of our business that are of revenue that's generated from customers who spend more than $100,000 a year, and those customers are spending, $300 on average, nearly. $370,000 each.
But at the same time, we've got this momentum motion and velocity motion that is bringing in new customers every single day, every single quarter. I think we were up, 230 some odd customers just quarter over quarter, just under 1,000 net new customers over the past year. That's the function of that. And yes, the land of those customers are, is lower than the average revenue per customer, and so you see that happening.
But I think one of the interesting things when you look at the over $100,000 customers, we have those 400+ customers that today are $100,000 or more. More than 80% of those customers started well below $100,000 and so we have a history of knowing how to land, retain and expand, and that's what you see going on over the last couple of quarters and continued in Q1.
Tyler Radke - Analyst
Great, thank you.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Luke Horton with Northland Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question.
Luke Horton - Analyst
Yeah, hey guys, thanks for taking the questions and congrats on the quarter.
Jason, in your prepared remarks you mentioned about the investments in the new sale, sales hires that they don't end up performing as expected. You mentioned being prepared to kind of rapidly respond and improve profitability. So just wondering how long of a kind of timeline the new sales hires are given here to start to show some results and then I if it doesn't pan out the way it was thought, what are kind of those nearest levers that you could pull to improve that profitability?
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
Yeah, the, we've done this before. One of the nice things that we mentioned in the quarter that we're already seeing more sellers selling and closing business in Q1 than we had last year. Looking at just the inside sales and as I mentioned, the inside sales team, you actually see relatively quickly over the first couple of months whether these guys are rammed and able to sell or not, and we're very encouraged by that.
And then looking at the pipeline that we have, we think, and we've said, I think now, both in the letter and in or comments, is that we expect 80% of all of the new heads that people that we added to the team to be ramped up by Q3, and that gives us a lot of confidence that if for some reason, this is not going to be in place, we'll be able to reduce unproductive capacity and continue to execute.
It's very similar to the change that we did, taking sales and marketing. If you look back historically, sales and marketing was about, 65%,, 66% of revenue going back to Q1 2022, and over the course of 56 quarters, it got down to below 50%. And that was just taking out unproductive resources and still driving revenue growth and so we believe that the hires that we did should be accelerators on the back end of the year going into '26 and that's what we're continuing to do.
Luke Horton - Analyst
Okay, great, yeah, I appreciate the color there. And then, just one last one here just on the 2025 outlook, is this still accounting for that 1% to 2% foreign exchange headwind or revenues or has that assumption changed at all here as we kind of got through the quarter?
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
We haven't changed any of our assumptions. We, as I think we're all seeing that things keep on has volatility day by day, and we're going to stay with that guidance that we that the assumptions that we used in building our gardens at the beginning of the year.
Luke Horton - Analyst
Okay, got it. Awesome, thanks for taking the questions again.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Adam Hotchkiss with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.
Adam Hotchkiss - Analyst
Great, thanks for taking the questions. Or, just a high level question for you, what in your mind is the most important execution item for you this year, whether that's ramping sales people, accelerating growth, selling new products, innovating the platform or is it something else? And then, what do you need to see to validate the vision that you've laid out through doubling down on investment that you did earlier this year? Thanks so much.
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Yeah, thank you for the question. And I think if I had to choose one that I think can generate the most impact is to drive the upsell enterprise motion, we've been lucky to have more than 1,000 plus an amazing enterprise that engage in our customers that buying one or two solutions and today, we have at least plus 78 different solutions to offer them that can really help and drive a life for them.
So, I see a huge opportunity to drive more expansion on the book of business, and this is something that I'm excited about and I feel and that if I will crack that to get top notch. It will drive a lot of impact. Also, if you think a AM enterprise, it's the function that have the most in this commercial organization. So if I were able to take this organization and make them overperform, it's going to drive a lot of impact.
Adam Hotchkiss - Analyst
Okay, great, that's helpful. And then, I know you've mentioned it a lot in the past I didn't hear it as much on this call, just your updated view of the data as a service and and broader large language model or small language model opportunity maybe how that progressed in Q1 relative to your expectations? Thanks.
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Yeah, so, those motions are very successful internally, I think in the data as a service, we have an OEM team, that sells our data to other software vendors that use our data to improve the offering. This team is working and highly successful, and we're seeing a lot of demand from a new vertical of software companies that want to give insight on chatbots and GenAI. So this is a nice opportunity. And also around everything about chat AI data, so it's a hot topic, drive nice revenue, so it didn't perform very well this quarter.
Adam Hotchkiss - Analyst
Great. Thank you very much.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Patrick Walravens with Citizens. Please proceed with your question.
Austin Cole - Analyst
Great, thank you. This is Austin Cole on for Pat Walravens. Or, I just wanted to go back to the AI chatbot traffic product. This kind of idea of visibility into Gen AI output is something you guys have talked about as an opportunity for a while now.
So now that you have this kind of product offering, maybe you could comment just specifically on kind of what you're seeing in terms of engagement from customers and specifically on the pipeline as it relates to that product, and then how does that kind of inform your idea of the total opportunity there?
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Yeah, I think it's a great question. So the opportunity, I think that is the complete opportunity is once we're going to develop the second part of the AI offering is to help you measure your market share and visibility on the chatbot because if you think that out of, I will say let's say a million people that are using chatbot to ask questions about running shoes and the chatbots give them answers about five, ten brands. Very small part of clicking and getting out of the chatbots, and the majority are staying there or doing something else.
So I think the second part that we're going to introduce this quarter of bring you more visibility about how much time you appear and the sentiments when we can develop that and combine that with the traffic, then we will have a very strong proposition and we will start monetizing it as a stand-alone model.
Right now we opened the traffic Gen AI as a beta to our paying yearly customers and to see the reaction and drive engagement in our AI. We didn't start monetizing it and but it did help to convert a lot of no touch customers paying with credit card. They didn't have access to that model. So using this model really helped convert a lot of and leads our credit card customer to yearly. So this is when we saw dollar impact, but I assumed that this quarter after we launched the second part and start charging for this model, it will have a bigger impact.
Austin Cole - Analyst
Okay, that's super helpful and then, maybe one for Jason. I had the same kind of question regarding what you said in your prepared remarks around the investments. Maybe just to put a point on it. It doesn't sound like it, but I just want to clarify that there isn't anything in the pipeline today that makes you think that you would need to make that change regarding investments.
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
No, there's nothing that we see today and this was just a comment that a sentiment that we had felt from a number of investors over the last couple of months and we wanted to make sure that we clarify that.
Austin Cole - Analyst
Okay, appreciate it. Very clear. Thank you.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Scott Berg with Needham and Co. Please proceed with your question.
Scott Berg - Senior Analyst
Hi everyone, thanks for taking my questions. I appreciate the comments on pipeline activity with the rampant and sales reps, but how's the expansion activity going? If I look at your customer additions over the last year, looks like they're coming in at a slightly lower, maybe rate than some of your historical customers, but you've already had a, at least historically had a good opportunity to expand with customers over time. But how is that kind of process going in this macro? Are you seeing any changes to what that cadence looks like? Any commentary that was helpful. Thanks.
Jason Schwartz - Chief Financial Officer
Hey Scott, it's Jason. A couple of things on that. We mentioned that, we're seeing actually good healthy pipeline builds over here. We see bigger, the NRR numbers are actually reflecting, as we mentioned earlier. Some of the hurdles that we said last year with some big sales and upsells that we had.
But we had some good experience this quarter and one thing that I think stands out to me was a large US retailer, who became a customer in 2023. It's a Fortune 500 US retailer who purchased web intelligence for their SEO and performance team going back in in 2023 really to understand standard voice and content strategies. The classic, what I would call the classic keyword use case. They were a $100,000 customer back in 2023.
In Q1, they expanded to the category management team and e-commerce merchandizing team, so they went from the marketing team to the category management team and the e-commerce merchandizing team to really understand, to build out the custom segments and understand the category performance versus their competitors and then also for shopper intelligence to look at the product level performance on Amazon versus their competitors.
That customer now, that upsell that they did, that customer has grown 4xX in just two years and again, as a, as an example of the kind of value that a large retailer could see and grow, it's something that's very encouraging to us and we're looking forward, as Or said, to see more and more of these upsells with the portfolio of customer, portfolio of products that we have over the remainder of the year.
Scott Berg - Senior Analyst
Helpful, thanks, Jason. And then, I heard there's no real impact and guidance with your acquisition of the Search Monitor, but how do we think about that impacting your platform kind of going forward?
Or Offer - Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, Director
Yeah, thank you. So we're very excited about this opportunity and this acquisition because Search Monitor has, I would say two main use case that we are not strong. One is to help PPC team, pay the acquisition at search to save money on the brand protection budget.
And many brands right now are spending millions, if not tens of millions of dollars, on protecting their brand in Google. We have some of our customers in the insurance vertical banks, CPG that literally spend tens of millions of dollars monthly to protect their brand, and they need to do it sometimes worldwide in many different countries. So they need a tool to monitor where they should --
We will take this offering now with our current book of business. We can really show great ally for those PPC paid search teams.
The second part they have is for affiliate team to help monitor the affiliate program to see that the affiliate bringing on board to promote their products are not our compliance with the guidelines they put for those affiliated not to start putting ads on the brand name.
So those are two strong use cases with very clear line, very sticky, very operational offering, that can fit perfectly with our assets and our market data. So combining our market data with their and stickiness and workflow tools can be very powerful and so hopefully, we integrate them and maybe Q4, Q1, and we're going to rolled out and those new offerings into our existing book of business.
