GoDaddy's demand can experience some seasonality, with uneven demand signals observed in September and October in previous years, particularly impacting the Applications and Commerce segment. Normal seasonality appears to be returning to the business. Consumer behavior around the holiday shopping season shows a preference for cost savings over convenience, which could indirectly influence demand for GoDaddy's e-commerce and online presence solutions during that period. GoDaddy focuses on customer value, expanding its total addressable market, and increasing new revenue streams to navigate demand fluctuations.
