Feature Showcase: Google One Tap

Building an engaged audience is more important than ever, especially as we move toward a future without third-party cookies. Slickstream’s Google One Tap feature is designed to help you easily capture more members and grow your identified traffic. In recent testing, sites using One Tap saw their identified traffic increase from 0.18% to 1.37%.

What is Google One Tap?

One Tap allows readers to quickly sign up or log in to their Slickstream Membership account using their Google account—all with just one click. This simple process helps you identify more visitors, leading to better advertising rates (CPMs) and increased revenue.

When readers who are not logged in to Slickstream visit your site, the One Tap modal will appear at the top of their browser window, prompting them to sign in with Google.
