Key features

  • Deep linking: Use deep links to send mobile device users directly to relevant pages in your app rather than your website. People who click on your ads can go directly to the app pages you specify.
  • Conversion tracking: Measure what happens after a user clicks on your ads and lands in your app, like whether they purchased a product, signed up for an account, called your business, or subscribed to your newsletter. When a user completes an action that you've defined as valuable, these user actions are called conversions.
  • Bidding: Select the in-app conversion actions that you want to optimize for using your web campaigns. You may improve your ad campaign performance by using Smart Bidding, which automatically drives higher performance for your business goals, like maximizing conversions or conversion value.
