Users who stay
after the install.

The goal of app marketing is what happens after the download: sign-ups, purchases and return visits. OpenNexus runs the whole app growth process, from UA to retention, against MMP data and LTV predictions.

User AcquisitionRetargetingASOMMPLTV
Overview

A cheap install can be an expensive user. We bid on value after the install.

Pushing CPI down makes the metrics look good, but fewer users stick around. OpenNexus evaluates platforms and campaigns on in-app events and revenue data, and concentrates budget where high-LTV users come from.

01

Accurate measurement

We set up MMP, SKAN and deep links to measure each platform's contribution accurately.

02

LTV-based bidding

We predict LTV from early behavior data and bid on value.

03

Full-funnel growth

UA, retention, re-engagement and ASO managed together.

Challenges

App marketing
problems we solve.

Q1

Installs are up, but sign-ups and purchases haven't moved.

We change the campaign optimization event from install to sign-up or purchase, assign a value to each event, and move budget to platforms that bring in real customers.

Q2

Every platform reports different numbers. We don't know what to trust.

We make the MMP the single source of truth and align attribution windows and rules, so every platform is compared by the same yardstick.

Q3

We can barely see our iOS results.

We combine SKAN conversion value design, aggregated measurement and incrementality tests to estimate and optimize the impact of iOS campaigns.

Q4

Many users drop off right after installing.

We analyze where users drop off, bring dormant users back with re-engagement campaigns and deep links, and suggest onboarding improvements too.
