Engage users and drive repeat traffic with web push notifications. Send automated web notifications for every new post to your audience and drive them back to your website.

== Description ==

15,000 publishers trust iZooto when it comes to building an audience and keeping it engaged. iZooto helps publishers own their audience and increase their traffic and revenue. 

At iZooto we help you [build, engage, and retain](https://www.izooto.com/publishers) your audience using web push notifications, and app push notifications, and even convert your AMP site visitors to your audience. You can also build and engage your audience on your WooCommerce store.

[Web push notifications](https://www.izooto.com/web-push-notifications-explained) can be delivered on both mobile and desktop browsers in real-time, even when your users are not on your site. To receive these notifications, your website visitors need to opt-in (subscribe) to receive notifications. Web push notifications are highly visible as they are delivered directly to your audience and hence have a high click-through rate. CTRs on push notifications can vary from 3% to 25% depending upon the context they carry.

[App push notifications](https://www.izooto.com/app-push-notifications-explained) on the other hand are bite-sized messages sent to users who have installed an app on their mobile device. App push notifications are rapidly evolving into a rich and interactive medium.
