Social Media
The world of digital marketing is evolving rapidly, and Google Ads continues to introduce new features to help advertisers manage the customer journey more effectively. With the latest updates, you can now merge your web and app campaigns into a single ecosystem, offering your customers a more consistent and seamless experience.
What is Web to App Connect?
Web to App Connect is a Google Ads feature that allows you to send users from your campaigns directly to specific pages within your mobile app. Instead of landing on your website, users who click your ads are taken straight to the most relevant section of your app. This shortens the customer journey, improves the user experience, boosts conversion rates, and makes your ad investments more efficient.
A New Era with Web to App Connect
One of the standout updates is the expansion of the Web to App Connect feature. Now, it’s not limited to Search, Shopping, and Performance Max campaigns; you can also drive traffic directly to your app through YouTube ads, hotel ads, and Demand Gen campaigns. This feature enables users on both iOS and Android devices to land directly on the relevant page in your app with just one click, helping boost your conversion rates.
Unified Workflows and Reporting
Managing ad campaigns can often be a complex process. The new unified workflows and reporting in Google Ads make it easier. You can now track both web and app performance in a single dashboard, view conversions side by side, and optimize your campaigns more efficiently. Plus, with automatic reminders and smart suggestions, setting up new campaigns with the right targeting becomes much simpler.
Measuring App Conversions from Web Campaigns
Another important update is the ability to measure app installs and in-app conversions driven by web campaigns. For example, you can see when a user installs your app through a Search or Shopping campaign and later makes a purchase. This allows you to attribute value more accurately and understand the real impact of your web campaigns, beyond just web traffic.
Key Features
- Deep linking: Direct mobile users to the relevant pages within your app instead of your website. When users click your ads, they are taken straight to the content or product they’re looking for.
- Conversion tracking: Measure the actions users take after clicking your ad and opening your app, such as making a purchase, signing up, calling your business, or subscribing to your newsletter. This provides clearer insights into your campaign’s true performance.
- Smart bidding: Select the in-app conversions you want to optimize for in your web campaigns. With Google’s Smart Bidding technology, you can automatically improve performance based on your business goals, whether that’s increasing the number of conversions or maximizing conversion value.
