How can I get more iOS downloads with Apple Search Ads?

Apple Search Ads allows app owners to advertise their iOS app directly to individuals actively searching for an app. And, that's not just to a few users; according to Apple, about 65% of iOS app downloads occur directly after a search within the App Store.

The Redbox Platform uses the Apple Search Ads Campaign Management API to create campaigns, populate these with keywords and optimise the keyword bids. Using scoring algorithms, bids are programmatically adjusted with the aim of generating the maximum number of downloads for your Monthly Budget, capped by Cost Per Download goals.

How it works

When you create your marketing campaign with the Redbox Platform, we take your campaign goals and targeting and turn these into a ready-built campaign. Our Keyword Generator phase finds the keywords that will power your campaign before we sample and optimise the performance of these keywords in the Bidding Algorithm phase. Acquisitions are then found and scaled through the cyclic Keyword Generator and Bidding Algorithm phases.

Phase01

CampaignCreation

At Redbox, we don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. We create a tailored algorithm solution for each campaign. The campaign is built using your goals, targeting and up to 15 starter keywords. Starter keywords are words that are relevant to your app and are used, amongst other sources, to find additional keywords for the campaign. So, there's no need to do the time-consuming keyword research!

Phase02

KeywordGenerator

Quality keywords are needed for a campaign to perform and scale. At Redbox, this is a continual process of generation and refinement. Using our extensive keyword resources, we increase your starter keyword list from just a few keywords to thousands. This is performed as a two-step process:

generate candidate keywords;
predict keyword viability through Keyword Prioritisation, only adding the ones that hit our thresholds.

Phase03

BiddingAlgorithm

Prioritisation
Bid Discovery

Optimisation

The Redbox Bidding Algorithm then takes on the task of identifying the optimal price point to set the bids at to maximise the acquisitions. To perform this activity, each candidate keyword goes through Bid Discovery to understand how a keyword performs at different price points. While this learning activity can take time, it means that we can leverage state of the art machine learning techniques to generate industry-leading performance in the Campaign Optimisation phase.
