Social Proof App for Sumo
Turn blog readers into the reason others subscribe
Sumo social proof from WiserNotify picks up each opt-in from your Sumo forms and shows it on your posts as a small, verified notification. A reader halfway through a tutorial sees others grabbing your freebie and decides the Smart Bar is worth a click.
Who it's for
Sumo social proof for bloggers and small site owners
Hobby and how-to bloggers
You write about woodworking, gardening or sewing and give away a printable to grow your list. Most readers find you through one search and never come back.
Affiliate and review sites
Your income depends on readers who trust your picks. A growing, visible subscriber base makes a buying guide feel like it comes from someone people follow.
Small businesses with a blog
A bakery, studio or local shop uses Sumo to collect emails from its posts. Showing who joined helps a small brand look established.
Problems we solve
Readers have stopped seeing the bar at the top of your blog
The problem
Banner blindness hides your best freebie
A Smart Bar that's always there becomes part of the furniture. A notification about a reader who just opted in moves, names a real person and gets noticed.
The problem
Years of list growth are invisible
A first-time reader can't tell your newsletter has a loyal following. A monthly subscriber count turns that following into a reason to join today.
The problem
Search visitors read one post and leave
Someone who lands from Google has no sense of your community. Showing how many others are reading the same tutorial right now makes the blog feel lived in.
Sumo notifications
Sumo notifications for how-to blogs and their opt-ins
Freebie downloads, newsletter joins, reader praise and a launch timer, all captured by the WiserNotify pixel on your blog.
Freebie downloads
Shows each reader who took your lead magnet. Works best on tutorial posts that link to the printable.
Newsletter joins
Shows new subscribers to your Sunday email. Works best on your About and Start Here pages.
Reader praise
Shows your Google or Facebook reviews one at a time. Works best next to a paid product link.

FAQ
Social proof app for Sumo FAQ
How do I show Sumo opt-ins on my blog?
Add the WiserNotify pixel to the site where your Sumo forms run, then choose Sumo as the data source for a notification. Opt-ins are captured as form submissions.
Do I need a Sumo API key?
No. The pixel captures Sumo form submissions directly on your pages, so there are no keys or webhooks to configure.
What does a Sumo opt-in notification show?
The reader's name in the format you choose, their location, your message about the freebie and how long ago they joined. You can also show an opt-in count.
Can readers stay anonymous?
Yes. Show a first name, “Sarah M.”, initials or just “Someone”.
Will another script hurt my page speed?
The pixel loads after the page, so your post text and images render first.
Is there a free plan?
No, but every plan has a 7-day free trial. Plans start at $59 a year.
