Why integrate a Web Push Ads network into your media plan (and how to activate it)

In France, the digital advertising market has reached €12.4 billion in 2025 (+11%), according to the 35th e-pub Observatory (SRI / UDECAM, Oliver Wyman). Between cost inflation, increased competition and concentration of budgets on a few platforms, digital acquisition becomes a balancing act: capturing intention when it exists… and creating incremental traffic when it does not exist (yet).

In this context, Web Push Ads stands out as a complementary lever (or a tactical alternative) to Google Ads: a format on-screenbroadcast via the browser, capable of generating traffic in real time with controlled pressure, provided it is “properly” managed (brand safety, frequency, creative).

Web Push Notification: what exactly are we talking about?

A Web Push is a notification sent by a site via the browser, which can be displayed even if the user is no longer browsing the page at the time of sending. Technically, this is based on web standards: Push API, API Notifications and Service Worker.

This point is key: we are not talking about an insert “in the page”, but about a notification format which appears on the user’s screen.

Not to be confused:

• Web Push “Owned” (CRM): you talk to your own subscribers.
• Web Push Ads “Earned” (Paid): you distribute your ads via a media network and aggregated opt-in subscribers.

Why Web Push complements (or relieves) Google Ads

Google Ads remains an ultra-effective base for capture an intention (Search). But distribution is based on an auction and ranking environment (Ad Rank) where auction + quality + landing experience determine the ability to appear at the top of the page.

Technology Push Notificationsit responds to other very concrete “agency” issues:

1. Create incremental traffic excluding Search queries (when the intention is not expressed).
2. Diversify sources to reduce dependence on a single lever.
3. Enable local/multi-local (drive-to-store) with simple mechanics: short message, clear CTA, immediate redirection.
4. Work on the performance of your brand : visibility + clicks, with a real ability to scale by CPM.
5. Guarantee a safe display environment for their customers (brand-safety)
