Summary
Apple Search Ads is a powerful platform to promote your app. With Apple Search Ads, you are getting users with the high intent looking to solve a specific problem. As Apple highlights, 70% of the app store visitors use Search Ads to find apps, 65% of all downloads happen after customers carry out a search, and the average conversion of the search ends is 50% percent. These numbers demonstrate that Apple Search Ads is one of the most effective tools in user acquisition.
However, if you don’t know how to measure and optimize your ads, your campaigns may never reach their true potential. Before to proceed further, make sure that you’re familiar with a high-level introduction to Apple Search. In this article, we’ll discuss how to track Apple Search Ads, attribute subscription revenue to ASA campaigns and what metrics you should be tracking on when making decisions on scaling your campaign.

Track Apple Search Ads Costs, Revenue and ARPU, not Installs
The main problem with the Apple Search Ads’ interface is that it does not include any in-app data including the crucial revenue metrics. The data available includes impressions, installs, CPA, conversion rates, tap-through rates, and new downloads.

Ideally, you need to track revenue from a cohort of users at a campaign and keyword level. Only in this case you can make data-driven marketing decisions, maximize your ROI, and run effective advertising campaigns.

Let’s take a closer look at the sample data. In this example, we can see the two keywords bringing in the same amount of installs. The second keyword has installs at a 20% lower cost. By looking at this data only, you might think that the second keyword looks like a better option for scaling and getting more installs at a lower cost.
But once you attribute subscription revenue to the keywords, you’ll see that the first keyword (“budget” in this case) generates more revenue while the second keyword didn’t bring any subscribers to the app at all. So ultimately, you should be scaling user acquisition with the keyword that is more expensive.
