Every reader is on a different journey.
Not all readers are the same — and they shouldn't be treated as if they were. A Google Discover visitor who has never seen your homepage is a different person from a loyal subscriber who shows up every morning. Kilkaya helps you spell out who your readers are, and what the right next step is for each of them.
The goal is always the same: turn each visit into something valuable — for the reader, and for you.
Book a DemoPublishers have needs too.
User Needs frameworks help you understand what readers want from journalism. Publishers also need to think about what they want from each reader.
A passing Google Discover visitor and a daily subscriber call for completely different engagement strategies. Treating them the same wastes the opportunity — and actively hurts both.
Kilkaya is focused on one thing: creating loyal readers. Readers who build habits. Readers who become subscribers, stay subscribed, come back often, and bring in ad revenue. Every visit should count.
Brand impression. Don't push. Just make them remember you.
Habit formation. Add value before you ask for anything.
Deepen the relationship. Reward loyalty with something exclusive.
The right strategy for each segment
Select a reader type to see the recommended engagement strategy.
These readers churn fast. The goal isn't conversion — it's leaving a great first impression of your brand.
The Google Discover reader. What's the right move?
These readers discovered you via an algorithm. They have no direct relationship with your brand — yet.
You know this reader has seen a few articles but has never set foot on your homepage. They came from Discover. They didn't go looking for you. The odds are they won't be back.
Hitting them with a push-notification popup is almost certainly wasted. So is a newsletter signup modal, or an account creation prompt.
The realistic goal here is brand impression. Make them notice that your journalism is worth coming back to. That's it. And that's plenty.
