Apple\u2019s Search Ads platform provides a simplistic approach to advertising, while still providing robust insights into your campaign\u2019s performance. Here at The ASO Project, we have decades of Search Ad management experience, and we have identified some keys to optimizing Search Ad campaigns in order to maximize spend.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How are Search Ads and ASO related?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>First and foremost, utilizing the keyword popularity tool is an extremely effective way to identify keywords for your app. When it comes to advertising, in order to maximize spend, it\u2019s crucial to convert the users that tap on your Ad. One of the areas we focus on with our clients is their app page conversion rate. Looking at the graphical elements on the app page and the first line of the description is a crucial piece of ASO, and through Apple\u2019s Search Ads, these elements are equally important. Apple doesn\u2019t allow for customization of the ad, utilizing either the first 3 screenshots or the first line (~100 characters) of your description. These elements are a crucial piece of your ad and can make or break the effectiveness of your campaign.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Keywords &amp; Appropriate Bids<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Search Advertising requires a constant upkeep and monitoring of the results of your campaign. While Apple\u2019s \u201cSearch Match\u201d is a great resource for a basic campaign, understanding and targeting specific keywords, based on research and ASO efforts is another crucial piece of a successful Search Ads campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Another important part of the overall Ad managment is placing appropriate bids. While bidding higher can earn more traffic, it\u2019s important to understand statistics about your users, conversion rates, and identify your LTV or ARPU. We work with clients to understand all of these statistics and utilize our <a href=\"https:\/\/theasoproject.com\/integrations?source=october\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">partner integrations<\/a> with AppsFlyer, Adjust &amp; Kochava in order to better target users based on times of day, demographic information and more.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Our Solution<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Since Apple launched Search Ads, we\u2019ve had the chance to dig into the platform, test the ads and identify key factors for the most effective campaigns. Believe it or not, Search Ads really are a part of ASO. Here at The ASO Project, we\u2019re proud to announce our Search Ad Management service.
