Paid Ads: App Ads

Guides app advertising: app install campaigns, user acquisition (UA), and in-app promotion. Use when promoting mobile apps (iOS, Android); conversion = install or in-app action, not landing page.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Key Platforms

Platform	Best for	Conversion
Google App Campaigns	Android + iOS; automated across Search, YouTube, Display, Play, Discover	Install, in-app event
Apple Search Ads (ASA)	iOS only; high-intent App Store search	Install
Meta App Install	Facebook/Instagram; demand gen for apps	Install, in-app event
TikTok App Install	Younger users; viral creative	Install

Google App Campaigns

Reach: Search, YouTube, Display, Google Play, Discover
Bidding: Maximize Conversions (automated) or Target CPI/CPA (30+ conversions/week)

Apple Search Ads

Placements: App Store search results, Today tab, Search tab, product pages
Modes: Basic (automated) or Advanced (keywords, audiences, bids)

Metrics
