Mobile User Acquisition

Services Guide

What makes a good mobile user acquisition strategy? It’s a complex topic and one that can
leave you scratching your head and wondering what really matters when it comes to the
latest app marketing trends.
You may be considering which ad networks to try, which app distribution platforms to use,
or even which analytics tools will give you the best audience and competitor insights; all
with the ultimate goal of getting better users for less money.
Yet, there are two things that remain consistent: the need to understand who you’re target-
ing and how to reach them. In the words of Fiksu, who abandoned their Cost Per Install (CPI)
Index this year, “measuring downloads can be easier and faster but the true metric to worry
about is engagement”. If there’s one takeaway from the yo-yoing cost of acquiring loyal users
versus high volumes of app installs, it’s that landing quality traffic is where the value lies.
Across all app marketing services, from strategy and
. distribution to app store optimization
and advertising, data and targeting capabilities are key when it comes to smart mobile user
acquisition. For example, many app store optimization platforms go beyond standard key-
word optimization by delving into marketplace and audience data. Meanwhile, app install
networks now use sophisticated targeting, real-time tracking and performance-based mod-
els to optimize your ad campaigns.
Here’s a list of the best user acquisition services and tools to help you reduce costs and get
better quality users; including the latest marketing automation platforms, ASO agencies,
advertising analytics tools and more. Or, you can browse for services and tools in our user
acquisition directory.

Alternative App Stores
With so much competition in the major app stores, only submitting your app to the Apple
App Store or Google Play may not give it the best chance of success. One Platform
Foundation reveals that alternative app stores drive 200% more downloads per app than
Google Play. Distributing your app across multiple stores will increase your chances of mon-
etising and getting more exposure. This is because there’s more chance of users discovering
niche apps and of your app getting ‘featured’ in an alternative app store. Here’s a list of the
best of them.
