FitLife is a mid-sized fitness app offering personalized workout plans and nutritional guidance. They launched their app six months prior to initiating their Google Ads campaign. Initial marketing efforts consisted of social media posts and limited organic search optimization. Downloads were slow, and user retention was a significant concern. Their primary goal was to increase app installs and drive initial user engagement within the first 30 days of download.
Within the first three months, FitLife saw a 350% increase in app installs. The Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) decreased from $5.00 to $2.50. Crucially, they also saw a 20% increase in user retention within the first 30 days, attributed to targeted messaging within the app based on initial user interests gleaned from the Google Ads data.
AdventureQuest is a free-to-play mobile RPG game. They had a large, established player base through organic channels but wanted to aggressively expand their user base and drive in-app purchases. Their primary goal was to increase downloads and, more importantly, drive revenue through premium item sales within the game.
Within six months, AdventureQuest saw a 400% increase in app installs. The average revenue per user (ARPU) increased by 75%. The campaign’s success was largely due to the precise targeting and the ability to track in-app purchases, allowing them to optimize their bidding strategy for users with the highest potential for spending.
QuickTask is a productivity app designed to help users manage their daily tasks and schedules. They had a relatively small user base and were struggling to gain traction in a crowded market. Their primary goal was to increase app installs and drive user engagement within the app.
Within three months, QuickTask saw a 250% increase in app installs. The average session duration increased by 30%, and the app’s daily active users (DAU) increased by 15%. This was largely due to the campaign’s focus on driving user engagement within the app.
