At a Glance: This article will give you insight into Apple Ads integration and the process to follow to complete the integration
Apple Ads is a platform provided by Apple that allows app developers and marketers to promote their applications directly within the App Store. By displaying ads in prominent positions, Apple Ads helps increase app visibility and drive downloads from interested users.
Understanding Apple Ads
When you log into your Apple Ads account, you can create campaigns to promote your app. Apple Ads offers four distinct ad placement options within the App Store:
Today Tab: This is the first page users see when they open the App Store. Ads here are prominently displayed, capturing immediate attention.
Search Tab: Ads appear at the top of the suggested apps list before users initiate a search, targeting them at a crucial discovery moment.
Search Results: Your app appears at the top of search results when users search for related applications, ensuring visibility to those actively seeking similar apps.
Product Pages: Ads are displayed at the top of the "You Might Also Like" list on relevant product pages, reaching users browsing similar apps.
To set up a campaign, choose your desired ad placement, create ad groups, set a budget, define your cost-per-tap (CPT), and launch the campaign.
Integrating Apple Ads with Apptrove
Integrating Apple Ads with Apptrove enhances your ability to track and analyze the performance of your ad campaigns. Here's how to complete the integration:
Access Integration Page: Log into your Apptrove account and navigate to the integration section.
Authenticate Apple Ads Account: Search for "Appleads" among the integration options and connect your Apple Ads account by following the authentication prompts.
Data Population: Once authenticated, your Apple Ads data will populate in Apptrove's partner reports, allowing for comprehensive analysis.
Understanding Potential Data Discrepancies
When integrating Apple Ads with Apptrove, you might notice some differences in data reporting. Common reasons include:
Time Zone Differences: Apple Ads and Apptrove may operate in different time zones, leading to slight discrepancies in data reporting.
Install Timing: Apple Ads records an install at the time of download, while Apptrove records it upon the first app open, which can cause variations in install counts.
Attribution Models: Apple Ads attributes an install to itself if a user engages with or downloads the app through its platform. Apptrove, however, uses a last-click attribution model, considering the most recent click across multiple networks.
Re-installs: Apple Ads may count re-installs on any device associated with the same user, whereas Apptrove considers re-installs only on the same device.
Understanding these factors can help you reconcile data differences and gain accurate insights into your app's performance.
By integrating Apple Ads with Apptrove, you can effectively monitor and optimize your app promotion campaigns, leveraging detailed analytics to drive better results.
