iOS Custom Product Pages built for intent, not guesswork

iOS CPP design is how you turn the App Store into a conversion system, not a static listing. We create up to 35 Custom Product Page variants per app, then route Apple Search Ads and inbound traffic to the right page based on keyword intent, audience, and placement. You get a modular creative system, a testing roadmap, and measurement stitched to Apple reporting and SKAdNetwork realities. We integrate like your internal team, move fast on a monthly rolling basis, and give you a real-time dashboard with no commission on ad spend.

Segment intent first, then design the page

Most App Store pages try to speak to everyone and end up converting no one as well as they should. We start by mapping query and audience intent into clear cohorts: brand, competitor, category, long-tail feature, and problem-oriented terms. Each cohort has a different job-to-be-done and a different level of awareness, so the CPP narrative changes accordingly. Competitor cohorts often need switching benefits, feature gaps, value framing, and social proof. Category and generic cohorts typically need use cases, outcomes, and a simple story that makes the category click. High-intent feature terms benefit from specificity, paywall or onboarding transparency, and proof near the decision. Once cohorts are defined, we write a CPP brief per cohort with a single message anchor, key objections, and the proof required. The outcome is tighter relevance, higher conversion, and better cohort quality downstream.

Why this matters now

On iOS, acquisition is increasingly shaped by privacy constraints and competitive auctions, which makes it harder to brute-force growth with bigger bids. That shifts the advantage towards relevance and conversion efficiency. CPPs let you match the promise to the intent, so you stop paying for taps that were never going to convert, and you improve the quality of the cohorts that do. They also give you a practical way to connect paid search, paid social, owned media and influencer traffic to differentiated App Store experiences, instead of one generic page. If your app has multiple use cases, price points, or audiences, CPPs are a direct lever to raise tap-to-install and improve downstream subscription outcomes without rewriting the product.
Creative that wins the first three screenshots

Creative that wins the first three screenshots

On iOS, the above-the-fold sequence does most of the work: icon, title, subtitle, the first three screenshots, and the preview poster frame. We design CPPs like a storyboard, with one clear narrative per ad group theme. For discovery traffic, we prioritise thumb-stopping first frames with high contrast, simple composition, and an outcome-led promise that is legible on smaller iPhones. For consideration, we build multi-frame walkthroughs that show how the app works, what you get, and why it is worth paying for, without stuffing text into every image. For conversion-focused CPPs, we reduce cognitive load and highlight reassurance, such as ratings, reviews, trust cues, and paywall clarity when it improves quality. We also ensure semantic consistency between screenshots, captions, and metadata so keyword-to-creative relevance holds. The outcome is better tap-through and tap-to-install efficiency without inflating bids.

Routing and ASA structure that keeps data clean

Routing and ASA structure that keeps data clean

CPP performance is hard to interpret when your account structure is messy. We build a disciplined Apple Search Ads setup where each ad group maps to one CPP via Creative Sets, so lift is attributable. We separate placements into dedicated campaigns, typically Search Results, Search Tab, Product Pages, and Today Tab, because intent and creative requirements differ. We use match type controls, search match for controlled discovery, and negative keyword sculpting to stop intent bands bleeding into each other. Bids are tiered by funnel stage and CPA or tROAS targets where available, so you do not treat generic discovery the same as brand demand capture. We also extend routing beyond ASA when relevant, using unique App Store URLs for web-to-app ads, owned media, influencer links, and partner placements. The outcome is cleaner learning, safer scaling, and fewer false conclusions.

Where this fits

iOS CPP design sits between ASO, Apple Search Ads, and your subscription funnel analytics. We work with your UA and ASO owners to define intent clusters, semantic consistency, and campaign structures that isolate lift at the ad group and Creative Set level. We coordinate with product and design to ensure onboarding and paywall expectations align with CPP messaging, which protects retention and revenue quality. On data, we connect CPP-level store metrics and ASA reporting to your measurement stack, accounting for SKAdNetwork constraints and the level of certainty each signal can support. The result is an end-to-end system: route traffic intelligently, test with discipline, and feed learnings back into media buying and product conversion.
Localisation and device realities, handled properly

Localisation and device realities, handled properly

CPPs that perform in one country can fall flat in another because pricing sensitivity, cultural cues, and language density change how people read screenshots. We design localisation with intent, not direct translation: adapting value props, testimonials, and iconography to local context, and supporting right-to-left layouts when required. We also account for device-specific breakpoints, safe areas, and adaptive text, so screenshots remain legible across iPhone sizes and OS versions. Where regulatory or pricing constraints differ by region, we structure CPPs and campaigns country-by-country to avoid mismatched offers. Localisation is treated as part of the testing roadmap, not a one-off production task: we launch a baseline per region, then iterate based on CPP-level store metrics and downstream cohort signals. The outcome is more consistent global performance and fewer wasted taps caused by creative that does not travel.

What success looks like

Success starts with clearer leading indicators: stronger tap-through on relevant queries, higher tap-to-install conversion, and improved efficiency at the CPP level in Apple Search Ads. But we judge CPPs on downstream quality, not vanity: install-to-purchase, retained payer rate, revenue per tap, and payback indicators based on the best available attribution signals. We also track cohort differences by CPP entry point to understand which narratives attract users who stay and pay. Tests are considered successful when they produce incremental lift versus your default product page or current baseline, and when guardrails like churn or refund rates do not deteriorate. Over time, success is a portfolio of evergreen CPPs by core use case, continuously refreshed and mapped to your highest-value intents.
What is iOS CPP design, and how is it different from ASO?
iOS CPP design is the practice of creating multiple Custom Product Pages in App Store Connect and routing specific traffic cohorts to the right page. ASO focuses on improving organic visibility and conversion through metadata, keywords, and your default product page. CPPs add control for paid and routed traffic: you can tailor screenshots, previews, and messaging to a keyword theme, audience segment, or placement. The two work best together, because semantic consistency between metadata and CPP creative improves relevance and conversion.
How many Custom Product Pages can we use, and should we use all of them?
Apple allows up to 35 CPP variants per app, but using more is not automatically better. We normally start with a small set that matches your biggest intent cohorts, such as brand, category, competitor, and one or two feature themes. Each CPP needs enough traffic to learn, especially under SKAdNetwork where downstream signals can be noisy. Once we have winners and a stable routing structure, we expand to additional use cases, regions, or lifecycle segments in a controlled way.
Which Apple Search Ads placements benefit most from CPPs?
Search Results is usually the most direct fit because traffic is keyword-led and intent varies sharply between brand, feature, and category queries. Search Tab and Today Tab can also benefit, but they often behave more like discovery media, so the CPP creative typically needs more education and outcome-led framing. Product Pages placements can resemble browsing and comparison, where social proof and differentiation matter. We normally separate placements into dedicated campaigns so CPP results are not blended and optimisation stays clear.
What does a clean CPP testing setup look like in Apple Search Ads?
A clean setup maps one ad group to one CPP using Creative Sets, with tightly controlled keyword intent per ad group. We use match type controls and negative keywords to prevent intent mixing, and we separate discovery and exact match frameworks so learning is interpretable. During tests, we keep budgets and bids stable enough to avoid confounding results, and we rotate variants that represent a single hypothesis. This structure makes it easier to decide what to scale and what to retire.
How do you measure CPP impact when SKAdNetwork limits attribution?
We combine CPP-level store metrics and Apple Search Ads reporting with whatever downstream signals your stack can reliably support. That can include SKAdNetwork postbacks, conversion value mappings, and aggregated subscription outcomes from your analytics or MMP. We focus on a practical metric set: tap-to-install and conversion rate for early learning, then install-to-purchase, retained payer signals, and payback proxies where volume supports it. When signals are weak, we rely more on controlled tests, longer windows, and incrementality approaches such as geo or audience splits.
Can CPPs improve subscription quality, not just installs?
Yes, and it is a core reason to invest in CPPs. By matching messaging to intent and setting accurate expectations about onboarding and the paywall, you attract users who are more likely to convert and stay. We track cohort differences by CPP entry where possible, looking for healthier retained payer rates and better payback indicators, not just cheaper CPI. We also feed insights back into onboarding and paywall messaging so the product experience reinforces what the CPP promised.
How do you handle localisation and right-to-left languages for CPPs?
We treat localisation as a conversion problem, not a translation task. That means adapting value props, proof elements, and visual cues to local norms, and ensuring screenshot text remains legible within iOS safe areas across devices. For right-to-left languages, we design layouts and hierarchy that read naturally, including mirrored composition where appropriate. We also manage routing through country-level campaigns and region-specific CPPs so offers, pricing cues, and compliance requirements stay aligned to what the user will actually see after install.
How quickly can we get CPPs live, and what do you need from us?
To move quickly, we need access to App Store Connect, Apple Search Ads, your current creative assets, and a view of your subscription funnel and key events. We also need clarity on your core audiences, markets, and any compliance constraints. From there, we can produce an initial CPP set using a modular creative system, then iterate through a weekly testing cadence. Engagement is monthly rolling, so you can scale the pace up or down without being locked into a long contract.
What are the biggest pitfalls with iOS CPPs, and how do you avoid them?
Common pitfalls include routing too many intents to one CPP, running tests with changing bids and keywords, and optimising for installs while harming LTV. Low traffic per CPP can also make SKAdNetwork signals too noisy to trust. We avoid this by using strict intent segmentation, one CPP per ad group where possible, and disciplined negative keyword sculpting. We also set guardrails tied to downstream quality, document learnings, and consolidate low-volume pockets until there is enough data to split confidently.
Measurement under SKAdNetwork, without overpromising

Measurement under SKAdNetwork, without overpromising

CPPs give useful page-level signals, but not user-level truth, so measurement needs a practical blend of sources. We use App Store Connect CPP metrics such as impressions, product page views, conversion rate, and proceeds, then join them to Apple Search Ads reporting via disciplined naming and structure. For privacy-constrained attribution, we work with your SKAdNetwork setup, including conversion value mapping strategy where applicable, so you can evaluate cohorts beyond installs. We define success metrics by funnel stage: tap-through, tap-to-install, install-to-purchase, retained payer rate, ARPU proxies, and payback indicators, depending on what your data can reliably support. Where signal is weak, we lean on controlled tests, pre-post with safeguards, and incrementality designs like geo or audience splits. The outcome is decision-grade learning rather than dashboards full of noise.

A testing roadmap that compounds, not randomises

A testing roadmap that compounds, not randomises

iOS CPP design is most powerful when it is run like an experimentation programme with one clear hypothesis at a time. We build a backlog across creative levers that matter: headline framing, screenshot composition, persona emphasis, hero feature sequencing, onboarding previews, and paywall transparency cues. Tests are structured as A/B rotations with stable keyword sets, budgets, and bids to reduce auction-driven variance. We avoid mixing multiple changes into one variant unless volume is high enough for multivariate approaches. Each test has defined success metrics and guardrails, so wins do not come from misleading promises that increase churn. Results are documented, rolled into evergreen CPP stacks by core use case, and refreshed seasonally or for promotions where it makes sense. The outcome is faster learning velocity and a growing library of proven CPP patterns.

Operating model: tight feedback loops with product and monetisation

Operating model: tight feedback loops with product and monetisation

CPPs set expectations for onboarding and the paywall, so performance improves most when marketing and product work together. We run a cross-functional rhythm that links CPP learnings to onboarding, trial mechanics, and paywall messaging, so cohorts land on an experience that matches what they were sold. We share weekly insights on which intents and narratives produce higher-quality users, then prioritise changes that reduce drop-off and increase retained payers. Where possible, we add automation via rules or scripts to shift bids and budgets towards CPP and intent combinations that show better marginal efficiency, while keeping manual oversight for brand safety and edge cases. Risks we actively manage include cannibalisation between intent bands, low-volume noise under SKAN, and over-optimising for installs at the expense of LTV. The outcome is profitable growth with fewer surprises after scale.
