Companies Using LINE Tag
Our October 2026 crawl finds the LINE Tag on 11,128 live domains. It's the conversion and retargeting script that LY Corporation provides for LINE Ads and for LINE Official Accounts, loaded from line-scdn.net. Below is the list of companies that use LINE Tag, and it follows LINE's own markets: 1,637 of the 2,704 matched companies are Japanese, 371 Thai and 310 Taiwanese. Named sites include Taiwan Mobile, Bangkok's Bumrungrad hospital, Lotus's in Thailand, NYK Line and the careers sites of Philips and Celestica.
It ranks 13th of the 82 technologies in our Attribution & Conversion Tracking category with 0.19%. Two buyers share the tag. In a browser sample of random domains, 30 tagged pages declared a LINE Ads tag and 21 a LINE Official Account tag, which measures sales from chat messages rather than ads. In Japan, LY merged LINE Ads with Yahoo! Ads on 1 April 2026, and 6,018 domains already run both companies' tags.

LINE Tag Usage Statistics
LINE Tag reads 8,410 domains in August 2026, 10,765 in September and 11,128 in October. The step between August and September reflects changes on our side, both the domains we cover and the signals we detect LINE Tag with, rather than a surge in adoption: the set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites dropping out and new ones added. Since we began tracking it on 4 August 2026, 756 domains have dropped the tag on at least one hostname, and a re-check found 238 of 757 such domains still loading it elsewhere on the site.

Which Countries Use LINE Tag the Most?
Which countries use LINE Tag the most? Japan, Thailand and Taiwan, with 2,318 of the 2,704 matched companies (85.73%). Japan has 1,637, Thailand 371 and Taiwan 310, the three markets where LY runs local LINE business sites. The United States follows with just 62. Indonesia (10), Vietnam, South Korea and Hong Kong (8 each) are small, based on our enriched company data. Thailand doesn't make the top 15 on the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads list, where Japan is 80.45% of matched companies.
Share of the 2,704 LINE Tag domains we matched to a company record — 24.3% of the 11,128 we detect. Top 15 countries shown, so these do not sum to 100%. Domains with no matching company record are not represented here and skew small and independent.
LINE Tag Market Share Among Attribution & Conversion Tracking
What is LINE Tag's market share? 0.19% of Attribution & Conversion Tracking, 13th of 82, based on our live crawl at TechnologyChecker.io. That compares a tag for one messaging app's markets with worldwide pixels: Facebook Pixel holds 60.37% and Google Ads Conversion Tracking 14.39%. Most LINE sites run those too. 9,302 LINE Tag domains also load Facebook Pixel and 4,109 Google's conversion tag.
Top Competitors by Market Share
LINE Tag Customers by Company Size & Age
What size companies use LINE Tag? Small and mid-sized ones, evenly spread. 26.19% of matched companies with a known size have 51 to 200 employees, 25.33% have 11 to 50 and 23.55% have 1 to 10, so 75.07% have 200 or fewer. 183 have more than 1,000 staff (7.94%), among them Philips, Celestica, NYK Line, Taiwan Mobile and Lotus's.
Company Size Distribution
Company Age (Founded Decade)
How old are companies that use LINE Tag? Younger than Yahoo's advertisers. The 2010s lead with 32.89%, then the 2000s (21.04%) and the 1990s (11.18%), and 8.17% were founded in the 2020s. Only 6.77% predate 1960, against 9.38% on the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads list, which fits a base of consumer brands, schools and online services.
What Industries Use LINE Tag the Most?
Retail leads at 7.32%, then Real Estate (4.29%), IT Services and IT Consulting (3.99%), Technology, Information and Internet (3.74%) and Wholesale (3.24%), based on our enriched company data at TechnologyChecker.io. Higher Education (3.19%) and Financial Services (2.69%) make the top ten here but not on the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads list, and the named examples are Thai banks and insurers and universities in Bangkok and Vietnam.
Banks and insurers using LINE Tag include Thailand's Kiatnakin Phatra Bank, AEON Thailand and Roojai. Universities on LINE Tag include Assumption University in Bangkok and RMIT's Vietnam campus. Real estate companies using LINE Tag include Thailand's Sansiri, on its online booking site, and Taiwan's Searchome.
LINE Tag Alternatives & Competitors
The table sets LINE's regional tag against global pixels, so overlaps say more than shares. 9,302 LINE Tag domains also run Facebook Pixel, 6,018 run Yahoo! JAPAN Ads, 4,109 run Google Ads Conversion Tracking and 3,217 TikTok Pixel. None of those pairs counts as switching in our tests, because most domains ever seen with both still run both. Yahoo is a sibling now: LY sells both as LINE Yahoo Ads in Japan.

Expert Analysis: LINE Tag Growth Trends & Key Signals for Sales Teams in 2026

LINE Tag is the measurement script behind LINE's advertising, and the first thing our October 2026 crawl shows is where LINE lives. A domain counts here when a page loads the tag from line-scdn.net/n/line_tag/. That gives 11,128 live domains, 2,704 matched to a company, 13th of 82 in Attribution & Conversion Tracking with 0.19%. LY Corporation provides the tag, according to its LINE Tag Usage Guidelines, and in Japan it has sold LINE Ads and Yahoo! Ads as one product, LINE Yahoo Ads, since 1 April 2026.
Three markets, one tag
1,637 of the matched companies are Japanese, 371 Thai and 310 Taiwanese: 2,318 of 2,704, or 85.73%. The United States has 62. That map matters because the Japanese side of the list now buys LINE through the merged LINE Yahoo Ads, while the Thai and Taiwanese side works with LINE's local business units, which LY lists separately. The named Thai and Taiwanese users are big consumer brands: Taiwan Mobile, Lotus's, Bumrungrad hospital, Gogoro, FamilyMart Taiwan's online mart.
Sales signal: split the list by country before you pitch. A Japanese ads row now sits in a merged LY platform; a Thai or Taiwanese row buys LINE on its own.
Two buyers share the tag
LINE issues the same tag from two places. LINE Ads uses it to measure and retarget ads, and LINE Official Account Manager issues it so a business can see which chat messages led to sales. The snippet says which. In our browser sample, 30 of 67 tagged pages declared a LINE Ads tag and 21 an Official Account tag; the other 16 didn't show the snippet in the page, so we couldn't read the type. We read 51 tag IDs on 51 pages, all different, so no agency or platform is reusing one tag across sites.
Sales signal: the Official Account half of this list is a CRM and messaging audience, not an ads audience. Vendors of LINE chat tools, coupons and loyalty should start there.
Growth, and what it isn't
The chart reads 8,410 domains in August 2026, 10,765 in September and 11,128 in October. The step between August and September reflects changes on our side, both the domains we cover and the signals we detect the tag with, rather than a surge in adoption: the set of domains we crawl turns over every month. Since tracking began on 4 August 2026, 756 domains have dropped the tag on at least one hostname, and a re-check found 238 of 757 such domains still running it elsewhere on the site.
"LINE Tag maps LINE's home markets almost exactly: Japan, Thailand and Taiwan make up 85.73% of the companies we matched." - Sophie Clarke, Product Marketing Manager at TechnologyChecker.io
Sales signal: this is a steady base of about 11,000 sites in three markets, not a fast-growing segment.
Who the advertisers are
Size is spread evenly across the small bands: 26.19% of matched companies with a known size have 51 to 200 staff, 25.33% have 11 to 50 and 23.55% have 1 to 10. 183 have more than 1,000, including Philips and Celestica on their careers sites, NYK Line, Taiwan Mobile and Lotus's. The 2010s are the biggest founding decade at 32.89%, and 8.17% were founded in the 2020s. By industry, Retail leads at 7.32%, then Real Estate (4.29%) and IT services (3.99%), with Higher Education (3.19%) and Financial Services (2.69%) in the top ten: Assumption University, RMIT Vietnam, Kiatnakin Phatra Bank, AEON Thailand and Roojai.
Sales signal: Thai banks, insurers and universities don't show up among Yahoo! JAPAN Ads' top industries. Their LINE tags make them prospects for LINE-integrated CRM and service tools.
Running beside Yahoo, Meta and Google
6,018 domains run LINE Tag and Yahoo! JAPAN Ads' tag today, 54.2% of LINE's 11,104 clean domains. 9,302 also load Facebook Pixel, 4,109 Google Ads Conversion Tracking and 3,217 TikTok Pixel. None of these pairs looks like switching: most domains ever seen with both still run both. In Japan the Yahoo overlap is now one vendor's two tags, so the merged LINE Yahoo Ads account sits on top of two measurement scripts.
"In Japan, LINE and Yahoo ads became one product in April 2026, but the two tags still run side by side on 6,018 domains. Measurement hasn't caught up with the merger." - Sophie Clarke, Product Marketing Manager at TechnologyChecker.io
Sales signal: advertisers running both LY tags plus Meta and Google need cross-network attribution. Conversion-API and attribution vendors with LINE and Yahoo connectors have an obvious list here.
The stack around it
Across the 11,104 clean domains, Google Analytics is on 98.29%. Twitter Ads (30.24%), Microsoft Advertising (22.79%), the Japanese data firm Intimate Merger (14.48%) and Criteo (13.44%) show how many networks these advertisers buy from. WordPress is on 33.23%. Consent tools are rare for a tag whose guidelines require sites to notify visitors and obtain consent: OneTrust runs on 1.66% and Thailand's CookieWow on 0.55%. And 6.38% still call the Yahoo! JAPAN Tag manager that LY closed in June 2024.
Sales signal: LINE's guidelines put the notice and consent duty on the site, and few of these sites run a consent manager. That's a compliance opening, especially for Thai sites.
What it costs
The tag is free to install. LY for Business says LINE Ads has no fixed price, no initial cost and no minimum spend; advertisers set and cap their own budgets and pay once ads deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who uses LINE Tag?
Businesses selling to LINE users in Japan, Thailand and Taiwan. Our October 2026 crawl finds the tag on 11,128 domains, and 2,318 of the 2,704 matched companies are in those three countries. Named sites include Taiwan Mobile, Bumrungrad hospital, Lotus's, NYK Line, Rakuten Mobile and the careers sites of Philips and Celestica. Retail is the largest industry, at 7.32%.
How many customers does LINE Tag have?
We count websites, not accounts. Our October 2026 crawl finds LINE Tag on 11,128 domains, 2,704 of them matched to a company. Some owners run it on several domains under one tag ID, as City of Dreams and Studio City in Macau do. Since 4 August 2026, 756 domains have dropped it on a hostname, though 238 of those still load it elsewhere.
What is LINE Tag's market share?
0.19% of Attribution & Conversion Tracking, 13th of the 82 technologies we track there, on 11,128 domains in our October 2026 crawl. The category is led by worldwide pixels: Facebook Pixel at 60.37% and Google Ads Conversion Tracking at 14.39%. LINE's tag only matters where people use LINE, and there most sites run Meta's pixel as well.
What are the best alternatives to LINE Tag?
There isn't a like-for-like one, because the tag measures LINE's own ads and messages. Most sites pair it with the big pixels: 9,302 LINE Tag domains also load Facebook Pixel, 4,109 Google's conversion tag and 3,217 TikTok Pixel. In Japan, Yahoo! JAPAN Ads' tag is a sibling under LY Corporation, and 6,018 domains run both.
Which countries use LINE Tag the most?
Japan, Thailand and Taiwan, LINE's home markets. Of 2,704 matched companies, 1,637 are Japanese, 371 Thai and 310 Taiwanese, together 85.73%. The United States has 62, and Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea and Hong Kong have 10 or fewer each. Thailand and Taiwan are where LINE Tag differs most from Yahoo! JAPAN Ads, which is almost entirely Japanese.
What size companies use LINE Tag?
Small and mid-sized ones, evenly spread. Of 2,306 matched companies with a known size, 26.19% have 51 to 200 staff, 25.33% have 11 to 50 and 23.55% have 1 to 10. 183 have more than 1,000 employees (7.94%), including Philips, Celestica, NYK Line, Taiwan Mobile and Lotus's. That leaves 75.07% at 200 staff or fewer.
How old are companies that use LINE Tag?
Among the LINE Tag domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, the largest group was founded in the 2010s (32.89%), followed by the 2000s (21.04%). That matched subset is drawn from 2,704 companies and is not representative of all 11,128 detected domains. This suggests LINE Tag is most popular among relatively young companies.
What is the ideal customer profile for LINE Tag?
The ideal LINE Tag customer is: Company Size: 11-200 employees (51.52%), Location: Japan, Thailand, Taiwan (85.73%), Industry: Retail, real estate, education, finance, Founded: 2010s (32.89%), then 2000s, Signal: LINE Tag beside Meta Pixel and Yahoo's ytag — based on our analysis of 2,704 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.
Is LINE a Japanese or Korean company?
Japanese. LINE is run by LY Corporation, the Japanese company that also runs Yahoo! JAPAN. LY's LINE Tag guidelines name it as the provider of the tag, and its LY for Business site says LINE Ads and Yahoo! Ads became one product, LINE Yahoo Ads, on 1 April 2026. Our data shows Japan as the tag's largest market, with 1,637 companies.
What is the LINE Tag?
It's a code snippet LY Corporation provides so websites can measure visits and conversions from LINE and build retargeting audiences. It has three parts: a base code for every page, a conversion code for the goal page, and optional custom event codes. Both LINE Ads and LINE Official Account Manager issue it. Our crawl detects the script it loads from line-scdn.net.
Is LINE Tag used for LINE Ads or LINE Official Accounts?
Both. LINE's help centre tells Official Account owners to get the tag from LINE Official Account Manager, and the snippet's setup call names a customer type: lap for LINE Ads, account for Official Accounts. In our October 2026 random sample, 30 of 67 tagged pages used an ads tag and 21 an Official Account tag; 16 didn't expose the snippet.
How much does it cost to advertise on LINE?
LY for Business says LINE Ads has no fixed price and no initial cost, and there's no minimum spend: you set your own budget, can cap it in advance and change it later. Costs start when ads deliver. In Japan these ads are now sold as LINE Yahoo Ads display ads. The LINE Tag itself costs nothing to install.
How does LINE Tag conversion tracking work?
You place the base code on every page and a conversion code on the page that counts as a conversion, such as an order confirmation. LINE's Official Account help centre says a conversion counts when a user clicks a message from the account, lands on the site and triggers the code.

What data does LINE Tag collect?
LY's LINE Tag guidelines list visit times, page URLs and titles, referrers, browser and device details such as user agent and IP address, and LY's own identifiers. Sites can also send phone numbers and email addresses, which are hashed before they reach LY. The guidelines require sites to tell visitors and get consent, yet only 1.66% of LINE Tag domains run OneTrust.
Is LINE Tag the same as the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads tag?
No, they are separate scripts, although one company now sells both ad products. LINE Tag loads from line-scdn.net; Yahoo's ytag.js loads from s.yimg.jp. In our October 2026 crawl, 6,018 domains run both today, which is 54.2% of LINE Tag's 11,104 clean domains and 22.62% of Yahoo's 26,604. Those sites carry two LY scripts for what is now, in Japan, one ad product.
LINE Tag vs Facebook Pixel: do sites use both?
Mostly, yes. 9,302 of LINE Tag's domains also load Facebook Pixel, and 9,864 have run both at some point, so very few drop one for the other. LINE reaches people inside its chat app in Japan, Thailand and Taiwan; Meta's pixel measures Facebook and Instagram ads. Advertisers in those markets usually buy both.
