304: Onboarding

00:07:51 You can buy a whole bunch of search ads or other types of ads, and you can effectively buy installations or increase your installation rate, but this is free to work on. Any kind of onboarding tweaks, that's effectively, besides your time and maybe design resources, it's effectively free.

302: Artificial Walls

00:24:55 Then there's people below my status who are looking at me saying I'm the one burning the money on my search ads and I'm driving up my search ads.

00:24:51 Then I started buying search ads and burning my own money. And I'm burning a lot less money than they are.

Pillar I: Acquisition

00:24:29 at App Store search ads , you don't see a lot of indie app businesses repeatedly advertising.

00:23:52 before that, I think I've lost money on all of it. Maybe search ads in the App Store,

00:22:09 And for many indie apps, based on the costs of search ads , for example, in the App Store,

00:14:14 variety of places, like say something like search ads in the App Store or it could be

283: Fifty Roles

00:14:18 The next area is probably the customer facing aspect of this, where you could talk about marketing. And so this is, you know, not the actual making of the thing. This is how do you tell people about the thing that you're making. And so this could be managing any paid advertising you're doing. So like paid acquisition, this could be search ads or whatever.

275: What's New In This Version

00:19:54 Or is it going to be, you know, downranked by a whole bunch of, you know, keyword spammers or competitive things above you? Are you going to be buying search ads ?

266: The Middle Path

00:12:37 I hate having to do it. But it turns out because of the economic downturn and everything, search ads are cheaper than they used to be because fewer people are buying them.

00:10:15 The original reason I wanted to hire a designer was I didn't have design skills worth anything. Now I have some design skills. And so I feel like I can get away with that. But I don't have any skills in terms of marketing, optimization, running my search ads and stuff.

265: Old App, New Subscription

00:24:37 as we can, oftentimes using search ads where Apple profits, again, thanks for that. So,

260: Subscription School

00:25:54 might require paying for more search ads or paying for marketing somewhere. And that can

251: Be Where Your Customers Are

00:24:39 Because I keep trying various forms of paid marketing, whether it's search ads in the App Store

249: The Nature of Advertising

00:16:40 add search ads . And the reason why we all were kind of irritated by that for the most

248: Limits of Indie Life

00:24:01 it's like you're talking about all the different platforms or areas that you could try, like, you could try going down TikTok, you could try going on Instagram, you could try on Twitter, you can try on the App Store search ads , you could try on Facebook ads, you can do all manner of things that may or may not work.

00:19:46 So one thing I did, you know, yesterday, I, it took me probably 45 minutes yesterday out of my day to, I was going and adjusting my search ads. Yes, I'm back on search ads, I don't feel good about it, let's move on.

225: The Fragmented Future

00:20:55 paid placement, paid search ads in the app store, you think that's bad? Just

216: Shark Battle

00:10:13 made app store search ads was in part to address that demand, but also because Apple is now

00:10:02 their own thing, app store search ads , which I funnel lots of money into kind of a scary

202: The Calm After The Storm

00:08:07 that's going to come in and just spend millions of dollars on search ads

198: Store Wars

00:19:45 And I've actually only recently started exploring all these other tools that they offer. Because they're great for things like your sales reports. Just seeing how are my apps doing, how are they ranking, how much money am I making, how much money am I spending in search ads .

197: iOS 14 Privacy Disclosures

00:27:14 And even if it was, they have this whole search ads business, and even if all iAd was was search ads,

187: Uncertain Times

00:27:52 you can turn it into like things, you could spend it on advertising and buy search ads ,

181: Supporting The Previous OS

00:01:39 from search ads , it's not a big number,

00:01:31 And the search ads actually didn't end up costing me

00:01:14 - Went to Apple Podcasts, or I went to the Apple search ads

00:01:10 all of my search ads bids for the day.

176: That's Great, Apple, But…

00:26:34 It takes sort of the financial incentive out of a lot of this because the money just never goes to anybody, so in which case if they're spending huge amounts of money on search ads and they're not actually able to sort of recoup that by scamming people, then they won't be doing it.

00:09:47 It fills with those. I'm going to buy tons and tons of search ads, like just all the money with search ads, and I'm going to try and just pour money into that so that I get a relatively high number of people downloading the app.

00:07:24 And they say, "Yes. We will do search ads and we will provide a mechanism by which you can give us money and we will put your app in front of users.

126: Retention

00:18:30 But it also kind of shows you like, just more accurate data when you're doing things like, like when I was trying to figure out like how much do I pay for search ads and everything.

00:04:20 That can also help judge things like how much you should plan to spend for search ads

113: Grading the App Store in 2017

00:28:19 and ranking of search ads as well.

00:25:33 that they decided they didn't want search ads anymore,

00:25:23 for doing search ads .

00:24:33 I think it makes me think of search ads ,

109: Search Ads in Practice

00:27:36 bad conversion rates and really high cost per install. And because search ads basic

00:26:17 can attribute installations to your app to whether they came from search ads or not.

00:25:50 install from the search ads. And the search ads have made up approximately 10 to 15

00:23:32 can do in search ads advanced is you can go through this list, you can check off whichever

00:21:47 search ads basic, is that one of the great things about the search ads implementation

00:20:58 And this is actually, so when they launched yesterday, they launched search ads basic,

00:19:58 a smart move, is, and Phil announced this on stage when they announced search ads or

00:19:38 this applies therefore to the search ads matching algorithm as well. So you need to do some

00:19:10 now learning kind of how the system works. So the main thing with search ads is that

00:18:54 search ads on the App Store. Now that you know roughly what you want to spend per installation,

00:16:31 of what I do in the app store with app search ads , we are brought to you this week by Eero.

00:10:01 what I have, and I think that's going to be mostly what search ads are good for, because

00:09:05 and honestly I don't think paid up front apps work that well in search ads , because you

00:08:47 per user. So this leads into I think the first major challenge of using search ads , which

00:08:04 of that same audience, and search ads largely have worked for me, and so it is the kind

00:03:01 straightforward that search ads are based on the cost per install, and if it's a paid

00:01:04 But anyway, so now they have search ads basic, and the old one is renamed search ads advanced.

00:00:44 for most of us, Apple launched a new search ads basic, which is a version of search ads

00:00:31 I've actually been using search ads for Overcast since the day they launched, and I'm still

00:00:09 So, Apple launched their search ads program last fall in the App Store, and a lot of developers,

79: New Discovery Metrics

00:22:33 about 10% of all my installs are coming from search ads .

00:22:25 are coming from search ads .

00:22:11 'cause when you do search ads ,

00:22:08 and I can correlate that with my search ads numbers,

00:21:55 - Yeah, I've been doing search ads every week,

00:21:42 And one way to work within it is search ads .

00:11:26 So something like search ads maybe makes sense,

00:06:31 when they were starting the search ads system.

00:02:18 is it worth investing in search ads ,

00:01:50 into search ads because it shows how important search is

77: iTunes Connect, Part II

00:27:10 Yeah, and one thing I will say that's probably worth thinking about is, using the new search ads interface that we got with the search ads stuff,

61: Back to Work

00:23:39 or, you know, things like App Store search ads ,

49: App Store Search Ads

00:17:21 And I've been trying as best I could over the last couple weeks as search ads became

00:09:12 There are some big limitations in the Apple search ads that other advertiser systems don't

00:08:05 All right, so moving on to specifics about the Apple search ads .

00:05:28 TTR is one of the last columns in the search ads .

00:04:32 search ads in it or if you're running a podcast, podcasts work this way too, as a seller of

00:01:13 Or in the case of search ads for apps, installing the app.

00:00:39 And this will lead into specifics about the App Store search ads .

00:00:10 So last week Apple launched App Store search ads finally after we first heard about them

45: Ads ★★☆☆☆

00:00:35 search ads coming, they're purging old apps from the App Store, they're changing app review,

31: Today’s App Store Announcements

00:27:55 to me," and I can come into the search ads page and pay 49 cents for that user, I'm

00:24:32 Honestly, I'm excited about search ads , because if you look through their page, it seems like

00:20:49 You can get an example of this if you go to the search ads page in our show notes.

00:20:21 They are really doing App Store search ads .

00:20:12 All right, so let's talk about App Store search ads .

00:00:34 that search ads will be coming to the App Store.
