From ads & searches to in-app purchase — user journey breakdown
The record of our webinar with Phiture is finally here and waiting to be watched. We discussed how ASO and paid channels work together and boost your app metrics. All this on examples of real cases. Also, we mentioned the best practices. Bonus for the curious ones: a few theses below that will interest you.
ASO и UA are friends forever 🤝
ASO. Most of the people use stores to search for apps and games. So ASO becomes a must step when working with promotion. In fact, an app without optimization does not exist (you cannot load an app without graphics and text elements). The question here is how consciously these elements are made, whether all the nuances, guidelines, algorithms have been taken into account.
UA. To enhance the effect of promotion, it’s necessary to use various tools, the most effective of which is UA. There are various ad platforms, but the main ones are Facebook and Google. There is also Apple Search Ads. ASA can objectively identify powerful and persuasive keywords that deliver revenue-driven actions.
That’s it. ASO and UA are the most important and fundamental tools. The webinar provides a detailed understanding of how these tools work. Explore effective strategies for launching, maintaining, and analyzing them.
