Performance Marketing, Product News, User Acquisition
Until recently, app marketers have had to use a one-size-fits-all model to drive traffic to their app store pages. There was no option to tailor the app store experience for a specific customer demographic or capitalize on seasonal events like Christmas or the Olympics. With the advent of Custom Product Pages (Apple App Store) and Custom Store Listings (Google Play), app marketers can create multiple versions of an app store page to best align with their campaign goals and target audiences.
AppLovin customers can leverage these powerful tools to implement more effective user acquisition strategies, drive deeper engagement with campaigns, and ultimately convert more users to their apps.
This article will cover what Custom Product Pages and Custom Store Listings are, why you should be using them, and the best practices to help you maximize success.
Google Play launched Custom Store Listings (CSL) for Android in 2019. CSL enables developers to create up to 50 versions of an app store page to appeal to user segments in specific countries or their app install state. You can customize your app’s name, icon, descriptions, and graphic assets for each custom store listing to create a localized experience for those users and promote new app content.
Apple created Custom Product Pages (CPP) two years later with a similar objective in a post-iOS14 world. Developers can customize up to 35 versions of their app store page, showcasing new app content, characters, or features.
These alternate app store pages act as tailored landing pages for user acquisition campaigns. App marketers can unify ad creatives to each custom page, using unique URLs to drive more qualified traffic and achieve a higher app conversion rate.
Custom app store pages are a great compliment to App Store Optimization (ASO), helping users discover and engage with your app. You can use CSL/CPP to take advantage of seasonal events and holidays, culturally relevant content, or promote what’s new in your app. Each custom page can include imagery, promo text, and previews different from your main product page enabling you to see what best resonates with your audience.
Let’s take the example Apple shares. An app marketer can run three unique ad creatives targeting avid cyclists, backcountry hikers, and rock climbing enthusiasts and drive them to a custom product page for the same app. This also allows you to match the custom app store page with the ad creative that attracted the user in the first place, increasing the chances of converting them.
Another example shared by AppTweak focuses on creating local, but relevant content. Hetch, a French ride-sharing app, promoted its app to French speakers in Western Europe. Their custom store listing featured local screenshots of Paris for French users while Belgian users saw the streets of Brussels. This is another way to drive more qualified traffic to your app.
Both examples highlight how app marketers can tailor simple ad creative and store assets to capture users vs. traditional UA tactics. Custom Product Pages and Custom Store Listings are popular with app marketers because of their ability to drive higher conversion rate at lower acquisition costs.
Custom app store pages are most effective when used for promotion outside of the app store leveraging relevant, targeted user acquisition and advertising campaigns. ASO focuses on helping your users best discover your app within the app store through content keywords. UA and ASO teams that work together to create a unified strategy for ads and store assets will see the most successful conversion rates for their app.
