Why app marketing underperforms

App marketing underperforms when teams optimise for installs and ignore post-install outcomes. You can hit target CPI and still lose because activation is weak, churn is high, and payback is unclear. We treat growth as a loop. Acquisition targets the right users, store pages and onboarding convert them to activation, and lifecycle messaging improves retention and monetisation. This is how you scale without burning budget on low-quality volume.
  • Optimise for cohort value
  • Reduce wasted UA spend
  • Improve payback reliability

What a mobile app agency does

A mobile app marketing agency should own the full system, not just media buying. That includes user acquisition across key networks, App Store Optimisation to lift organic discovery and store conversion, and post-install lifecycle work that improves activation and retention. We also build the measurement layer: event taxonomy, attribution, and dashboards that track cohort quality and revenue outcomes. The goal is to grow installs that retain and monetise, so LTV stays comfortably above CAC as you scale.

User acquisition and media buying

Plan channel mix, launch campaigns, and optimise to in-app value events. We test audiences and placements while protecting efficiency with clear rules and pacing.

ASO and store conversion

Improve rankings and install rate through keyword strategy, metadata, localisation, and listing experiments on screenshots and icons. This increases organic share and improves paid efficiency.

Retention and monetisation lifecycle

Use cohorts to improve onboarding and build event-triggered push, in-app, and email journeys. Strong lifecycle work reduces churn and increases revenue per user.

How we run app growth

We run app growth in weekly sprints. First we set up tracking and define the activation and value events that matter to your business model. Then we build a testing plan across creative, audiences, and funnels. Depending on your category, we use direct-to-store for high-intent traffic and web-to-app funnels when the user needs education and trust before install. We also improve post-install journeys so acquisition does not outpace retention.

Tracking and value events

Define clean events for install, activation, trial, purchase, and renewal. This lets platforms optimise to quality while reporting stays aligned to revenue outcomes.

Creative engine and testing cadence

Produce and test creative by angle, hook, and format, including UGC-style video. We refresh assets before fatigue hits and scale winners across placements.

Funnel and onboarding optimisation

Improve store listing conversion, onboarding steps, and paywall flows. Better activation and retention increase LTV, making every acquisition channel more scalable.

Measurement and reporting

App marketing lives or dies on measurement, especially under privacy constraints. We set up attribution with an MMP, align SKAN-friendly reporting, and build dashboards that show cohort retention and revenue by channel. Where it makes sense, we run incrementality tests to estimate net-new lift and avoid confusing attribution with true growth. Reporting is decision-ready, so you can see which creative angles bring high-LTV users and where spend should be increased or cut.

Cohort retention and revenue views

Track D1, D7, and D30 retention and revenue per user by source. This keeps optimisation tied to durable users, not short-term CPIs.

Incrementality and lift testing

Use holdouts or geo tests to estimate true net-new lift. This prevents over-investing in campaigns that mainly cannibalise organic demand.

Fraud and quality controls

Monitor unusual click-to-install patterns and low-quality sources, then enforce blocklists and optimisation rules. Quality controls protect budget and data integrity.

Who this is for

A mobile app marketing agency is a fit if you want to scale installs while improving retention, monetisation, and payback. It works best when you can instrument key events, define an activation moment, and commit to consistent testing. It is not a fit for teams looking for set-and-forget campaigns or CPI-only optimisation. Sustainable growth comes from aligning acquisition with store conversion and post-install outcomes.
  • Best for profitable scaling
  • Works with strong tracking
  • Not for CPI-only goals
What services does a mobile app marketing agency provide?
A mobile app marketing agency typically covers acquisition and retention together. That includes paid user acquisition, creative production, App Store Optimisation, and campaign management across iOS and Android. A strong agency also builds measurement and reporting, improves onboarding and paywall conversion, and runs lifecycle messaging to lift retention. The best work connects installs to cohort value, so growth is judged by LTV, payback, and revenue, not only CPI.
Which channels are best for promoting a mobile app?
Channel choice depends on your audience and intent. Common options include Meta and TikTok for scale, Google app campaigns for broad reach, and Apple Search Ads for high-intent iOS users searching relevant keywords. We usually build a portfolio rather than relying on a single platform. Diversification reduces volatility and gives more room to scale. The final decision is based on cohort retention and revenue by channel, not just early install costs.
How does ASO help app growth alongside paid campaigns?
ASO improves how your app is discovered in the stores and how often store visitors convert to installs. It includes keyword strategy, metadata tuning, localisation, and creative optimisation of icons, screenshots, and preview video. ASO also supports paid performance because a better store listing increases conversion from paid clicks. Over time, stronger organic share improves blended CAC and reduces dependency on paid media for growth.
How do you measure success for app marketing work?
We measure installs and CPI, but we prioritise cohort outcomes: activation rate, retention curves, revenue per user, ROAS, and payback period. These metrics show whether growth is sustainable. We also track store listing conversion, creative fatigue, and performance by channel and geography. Reporting is built so you can see what is driving net-new revenue and what is simply generating low-quality volume that churns quickly.
How do you handle iOS privacy changes and attribution limits?
We build measurement with an MMP and SKAN-friendly reporting where needed, supported by a clean event taxonomy. That keeps optimisation tied to meaningful in-app actions rather than installs alone. Where attribution is limited, we rely more on blended performance views and cohort analysis. We can also run incrementality tests when feasible to estimate net-new lift and reduce the risk of scaling spend that mainly cannibalises organic users.
What does a creative testing framework look like for apps?
We test creative by angle and hook, not random variations. That includes UGC-style video, short-form demonstrations, statics, and sometimes interactive formats depending on category. We track performance by placement and audience segment and refresh before fatigue hits. Importantly, we separate signals for click and install versus post-install quality. This prevents scaling creatives that win the auction but attract users who never activate or pay.
Can you help improve onboarding, retention, and re-engagement?
Yes. Acquisition scales better when onboarding and retention are strong. We use cohort analysis to find drop-off points, then improve onboarding steps and in-app prompts to reach a clear activation moment faster. We also build lifecycle journeys with behaviour-triggered push, in-app, and email messages to reduce churn and re-engage lapsed users. Better retention increases LTV, which makes paid acquisition more scalable and less volatile.
How do you approach localisation and international expansion?
We localise in three places: the store listing, ad creative, and post-install journeys. This includes regional keyword research for ASO, culturally relevant creative variants, and language and offer adjustments in onboarding and paywalls. We also consider market economics, such as CPI and payment preferences, so expansion improves blended efficiency rather than inflating low-value volume. Testing is done region by region with clear success criteria.
Why choose Growthcurve as your mobile app marketing agency?

We work in weekly sprints and report through a real-time dashboard, keeping decisions evidence-led. You also get unlimited ad creative production and no commission on ad spend, so incentives stay aligned to performance.
