advertising platform developed by Apple that allows developers and mobile marketers to promote their apps directly on the iOS App Store.<\/p>\n<p>These advertisements are displayed in the different locations that the App Store offers, of which there are currently four locations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Today tab<\/li>\n<li>Search tab<\/li>\n<li>Search results<\/li>\n<li>Product pages during navigation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CAUTION: It is very important to note that some categories of apps are not eligible to serve ads in multiple locations due to Apple&#8217;s policies and restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>These policies vary by country and region, so you may not be able to use some formats depending on which location you use.<\/p>\n<p>But why invest in Apple Search Ads?<\/p>\n<p><strong>With the advent of Apple&#8217;s new privacy law in its version 14<\/strong>the brand<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/en\/blog\/what-is-idfa-ios14-advertising-apps\/\">\u00a0limits tracking in advertisements<\/a>\u00a0from social media in order to safeguard the privacy of its customers.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, from now on, neither Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, nor any other platform will be able to track users with iOS devices without their explicit permission.<\/p>\n<p>This complicates the cost-effectiveness of social media campaigns to engage Apple users, as ad targeting will not be as detailed as it is today.<\/p>\n<p>So if your goal is to be at the top of the App Store you should consider investing in Apple ads before investing in other platforms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apple will make it easier for you to track your users, which translates into better targeting and possibly better results for your investment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 data-fontsize=\"22\" data-lineheight=\"33\">How Apple Search Ads works: ad formats<\/h2>\n<p>Creating ads on

Apple takes into account the relevance of the app to the search and the bidding you have done for your keyword.<\/p>\n<p>If your app is not relevant to what the user is looking for, it will not be advertised in that location, regardless of how much you want to pay.<br \/>\nApple Search Ads takes both relevance and bids into account and will not show apps if it does not consider an app to be relevant for a certain keyword.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important that you do prior keyword research and segment your campaigns very well. That is why this type of ad placement is the one that is most closely linked to ASO, because it works by keyword positioning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apple recommends that you split your ads into 4 campaigns.<\/strong>brand, competition, category and discovery. Let&#8217;s see what they are.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brand campaign:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this campaign it is necessary to include the keywords of your brand or the brand name itself.<\/p>\n<p>If they search for you directly by name, it is understandable that they want to download your application.<\/p>\n<p>But is it worth the investment when you enjoy good ASO positioning? It depends on your budget and the position you want to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>For example, here you can see such a campaign by TikTok.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8189 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-101853.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-101853-7x12.png 7w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-101853-170x300.png 170w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-101853-200x353.png 200w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-101853.png 367w\" alt=\"Apple Search Ads\" width=\"367\" height=\"648\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Competition campaign:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this type of campaign you should include any terms related to your competitor&#8217;s applications and brands.<br \/>\nFor example, this Toon Blast game bids on &#8220;Candy Crush&#8221;.

The limitations in managing your campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Search Ads Basic only allows you to set a maximum CPI and from there on Apple manages the rest: keyword selection, ad group management&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This may seem like an advantage, but it is not. And the reason is that your CPI (cost per installation) will always be higher.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the ROAS (return on sales) of your ads will not be what you expected.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you choose the Apple Search Advanced option, you will be able to manage your campaign from start to finish, without limitations and achieve a better ROAS.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore we will always recommend that you choose the advanced option.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at what each of them consists of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Apple Search Ads Basic<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If, despite our recommendation, you choose the basic option, you should be aware that the platform will use your application&#8217;s metadata.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean? If you don&#8217;t have ASO properly worked out, you will be basing your campaigns on old or outdated data, as well as on keywords that are no longer valid or don&#8217;t have as much traction.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, your ads on Apple will appear in user segments that will not be interested in your app or are not the ideal audience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Apple Search Advanced<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This option requires more training on how to manage Apple Search Ads campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>However, even if more time has to be spent on management, the ROI is more positive.<\/p>\n<p>The reason? Here<strong>\u00a0Apple gives you complete control over campaign design.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It offers you the possibility to get detailed reports, choose keywords, create creative sets with Creative Sets or define ad groups.<\/p>\n<h3 data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"32\">2. Use the Creative Set<\/h3>\n<p>Creative Sets are one of the most practical tools that Apple Search Ads has to offer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It allows us to create up to 30 creative variants of the same advert.<\/strong>\u00a0With them, we can identify which set of creative works best in each advertising segment.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend that you take care of every detail of the screenshots, images, videos&#8230; and other material you use, because it will be the first thing your users see when they find your App.<\/p>\n<p>The number of downloads you get may depend on them.<\/p>\n<p>In the following image you can see the example of Preset, an App for filters that has used its creativities to show the before and after of edited photos.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8193 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103025.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103025-7x12.png 7w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103025-170x300.png 170w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103025-200x352.png 200w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103025.png 365w\" alt=\"Apple Search Ads\" width=\"365\" height=\"643\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"32\">3.

The more app publishers bidding on a keyword, the higher the average bid for that keyword.<\/p>\n<p>So that you don&#8217;t waste your money and get some guidance, Apple gives you a recommended bid and tells you whether the bid you have chosen is weak, moderate or strong.<\/p>\n<p>It does so as shown in the following image:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8194 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103233.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103233-14x12.png 14w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103233-200x171.png 200w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103233-300x257.png 300w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103233-400x342.png 400w, https:\/\/actualizatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-05-22-103233.png 507w\" alt=\"Cost per Touch or Cost per Tap\" width=\"507\" height=\"434\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This colour traffic light, which shows the strength of your bid,\u00a0<strong>It also helps you to know whether you are bidding too little or too much for your words and how you are doing in relation to your competitors and search trends.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"32\">4.
