Countdown to PEAK Season is on!

✨ The countdown to peak season is on! Only a few weeks left until Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas 🎄 and then, New Year’s Eve and Lunar New Year. To make sure you are ready, I’ve put together an ASA Checklist.If you’re primarily running in Search Results, you’ve probably noticed that while high season means more volume, it doesn’t necessarily lead to higher CPIs. Why? 🤔It’s because ASA is keyword-driven. As an ex-Apple employee, I've seen it first-hand.While e-commerce and retail apps are competing fiercely on their terms, you’re competing only for terms in your own category. This means you’ll see higher search volume without the steep CPI hikes that other platforms experience.To help you make the most of it, here’s a quick checklist to maximize your ASA campaigns during this period.❄️ Feel free to reach if you'd like […]

Meta New Ad-free Subscription is here!

🚨 Meta new ad-free subscription is here! 🚨 After the whole DSA (Digital Services Act) and a €390M fine, it’s official: ad-free subscriptions for Instagram & Facebook are available in the EU. - Subscription plan: ➡️ €12.99/month, no ads! 🤑 An extra 8€ for each additional account... a bit much, don’t you think?- Free with ads: ➡️ The usual setup🤔 Does it give Meta a free pass to add even more ads for non-subscribers?So many questions on my end:Does this mean Meta values user LTV at around €12.99/month (let's remove the store fees but you get my point)? Who came up with that price point? And if this model catches on, would it even be profitable long-term if more people pay to avoid ads? Maybe we’ll see this option spread globally?🚨 This could be bad news for advertisers. If lots […]

App Store gets a More Powerful Search

🌟 The App Store gets a “More Powerful Search” … but what does it mean? 🌟 With the latest iOS 18.1 update, Apple has rolled out a “More Powerful Search” for the App Store.It allows users to find apps using natural language - like on ChatGPT, for example.On paper, this sounds like a game changer for app discovery.After giving it a try, I was not really convinced…I did a couple of test searches before updating my iPhone.First, I looked for “Best travel app to book everything for my city trip” - no results.Then, I searched for “Popular games to match candies & sweets” and only found small, unknown apps (even for me, who works in the gaming industry).So, what happened after I updated to iOS 18.1?Well, honestly, not much changed…I got the same results for both.A bit disappointing, to be […]
