Proyect Background

JobToday was stuck on their growth of active users coming from AdWords for both iOS and Android.

@eStudio34

@UgoSmith

www.estudio34.com

AdWords was the worst performing and least utilised channel to date

CPI’s were in general very high, nevermind costs for post install events

Some Baseline Key Performance Indicators

How we got it done

AdWords Breakdown Display, Search YouTube, Universal App Campaigns Sapphire

Campaign Challenges5

Behavioural Funnel

Awareness = found the app yay

App Store Search = not really true when doing paid campaigns

Download = job done?

Open app = Critical because it meant we had our first engagement.

Registration = This was another critical in app event for us. Early on the campaign it wasnt compulsary Usage= recurring usage and other in app events i.e applied for a job

What we faced@eStudio34

@UgoSmith

What to track

There are TWO types of users:

@eStudio34

@UgoSmith

www.estudio34.com

JobSeekers Seek to get a job Are locally searching Mobile Savy

Company Post Job offers May have multiple offers Not strictly local necessities

Tracking with AppsFlyerFuente: AppsFlyer SDK Integration - iOS

One SDK to rule them all: Tagged in app events

Jobseeker Events: Job Seeker

Registration Job Seeker Applied

Company Events: Company Registration Company Published Job

Tracking with AppsFlyer

Our Dashboard could tell us What partner contributed to direct

conversions Provided users ident by logging

“advertiser id’s” Sent data back to FB/ AdWords after

deduplication of conversions and in app events.

Sending data backFuente: Ad Network Integration Guide

At campaign/ Adgroup or Adset level You send data back to

the partner We created

conversions at MCC level for faster Algo learning

Started optimising toward larger pools of data i.e registration

Battle Tactics6

UAC@eStudio34

Conversions@eStudio34

@UgoSmith

www.estudio34.com

Tips Create account/ campaign

per territory

Create conversions at MCC level (algorithm learns faster)

If you target web right now you have to create another campaign/ account is recommended

This is why@eStudio34

@UgoSmith

www.estudio34.com

Tips AdWords has a minor flaw, You shouldn't have multiple

conversions included in that column

it gets confused with totally different conversion.

Optimising becomes otherwise becomes erratic so its best to isolate

UAC – Pro Tips@eStudio34

@UgoSmith

www.estudio34.com

UAC Tips Utilize all ad formats: text, banners, video Geolocation can be critical in optimisation

and control CPA’s Need to control closely which network is

the one getting most exposure (Display/ YT/ Search)

Test from more volume types of conversions to less volume

Work through high CPA to low CPA until volume and desired KPI

UAC is like science requires patience and min budgets, without a commitment you will FEAR

UAC – Pro Tips@eStudio34

@UgoSmith

www.estudio34.com

UAC Tips If one network underperforms i.e.

YouTube Kill the ad format (it forces the campaign

to use the other two)

Display Learnings iOS works great in terms of in app events iOS data can be imported and tracked

(search is impossible) Android didn’t match iOS results……

Display Learnings@eStudio34

Bottom Line@eStudio34

@UgoSmith

www.estudio34.com

For Example That our CPAs don’t match FB or

other networks

Recap@eStudio34

@UgoSmith

www.estudio34.com

Optimise by CPI. Then by next In app event

of highest relevance. Use all Ad Formats Monitor WHICH network

within UAC is performing. Work through high CPA to

low CPA until volume and desired KPI

UAC is like science requires patience and min budgets, without a commitment you will FEAR

Display works with iOS like Wildfire
