About this service

Apple Search Ads (now called Apple Ads) shows your app at the top of App Store search, and the ad itself is built from your product page, so the work is in the keywords and the campaign split. We lay out the standard four: brand for your app name, category for what the app does, competitor for people searching other apps, and discovery with broad match and Search Match to find new terms, with each campaign's keywords added as exact negatives elsewhere so they do not compete. Keywords come from your App Store page, competitor listings and search suggestions; bids are starting points from your target cost per install.

What is included

  • What you getBrand, category, competitor and discovery campaigns for your iOS app with ad groups, keywords by match type, cross-campaign negatives and starting bids. Delivered as an Excel sheet laid out in the platform's bulk upload columns or ready to copy row by row, plus Word setup notes in the Standard and Premium packages; you enter and launch it yourself.

What we need from you

A link to your App Store page, the countries or storefronts to run in, what the app does and for whom, the apps you compete with, your target cost per install or per trial, and monthly budget. Attach screenshots of your keyword list if you have one.

We will ask you:

  • Which App Store countries should the campaigns run in?
  • Which apps do your users compare you with?
  • What is a good cost per install or trial for you?
  • Do you have custom product pages?

Questions and answers

Is there any ad copy to write?

Apple Ads uses your App Store page for the ad, so there is no ad text to write. We note where the subtitle or screenshots work against your keywords.

Will you show search popularity for keywords?

No, popularity scores are inside your Apple Ads account. Check them there before launch and cut terms with no volume.

Is bidding on competitor app names allowed?

Apple allows it, but the rights holder can complain. We add competitor names only if you list them, and the competitor campaign stays separate so you can pause it.
