Why advertise with Google Ads for Apps?

For results-driven marketing, app campaigns offer a powerful way to reach users where they spend their time: in Search, the Play Store, YouTube, Discover, Gmail, and Display.

Unlike traditional approaches, Google uses artificial intelligence to show your ads to audiences most likely to download or engage with your app.

This omnichannel approach simplifies management and allows you to multiply the points of contact with your prospects, maximizing the number of installations, stimulating in-app engagement and optimizing the profitability of your advertising investments.

App campaigns generate an average of 140% more conversions than manual methods and offer a lower cost per install, thanks to automated optimization across Search, Display, YouTube, and Google Play.
