Google 正在升级 Demand Gen 广告产品,以帮助广告主在 YouTube 上更高效地获取新客户。根据 Measured 的数据,YouTube 上 72% 的增量转化来自新客户,这意味着 YouTube 是拉新的关键渠道。
新功能之一是视频增强:Demand Gen 将支持更广泛的宽高比转换,包括竖屏转方形、竖屏转横屏和方形转横屏。这使广告主能轻松将创意适配不同屏幕,从而提升广告效果和转化率。
此外,Gemini 将提供创意洞察:当选择图片和视频素材时,AI 会自动给出优化建议,帮助广告主针对 YouTube 提升创意质量。这减少了人工测试的需求,让投放更智能。
最后,Web to App 获取测量上线:广告主现在可以清晰地看到 Demand Gen 广告系列如何通过应用安装带来新用户。这一归因能力提供了性能全景,确保广告主能捕捉到投资的全部价值。
作为长期跑 UA 的从业者,我非常关注 Demand Gen 的这一波更新。72% 的增量转化来自新客户这个数据很关键,说明 YouTube 在拉新上确实有不可替代的价值。但以前视频素材适配麻烦,Web to App 归因也不清晰,导致很多预算没花透。现在宽高比一键转换,加上 Gemini 自动优化创意,能省下不少设计师和优化师的时间。
Web to App 测量是另一个重要升级。过去在 DM 上跑 App 买量,归因链路长、数据回传慢,尤其 SKAN 时代更头疼。现在能直接看到 Demand Gen 对应用安装的贡献,给 MMP 和内部归因一个更完整视图,方便计算 LTV 和 ROAS。对比 Meta 和 TikTok,YouTube 在增量归因上一直更弱,这次算补齐短板了。
实操上,建议 UA 团队尽快测试新视频尺寸,尤其是竖屏转横屏,可以试试直播素材、用户评测等原生内容。同时给创意团队提需求时,基于 Gemini 的建议迭代素材。Web to App 数据建议对接 BI 系统,结合 AppLovin 或 Unity 的渠道数据做全链路分析,评估真实增量。总体而言,这些更新能帮我们更好地做增量提效,值得投入资源跑通。
Customer lifetime value (LTV) is a critical long-term metric for app success, but most marketers measure it per-device, understating true value by 2-5x. Cross-platform LTV stitches together web, app, CTV, and more, attributing all revenue back to the original acquisition campaign. Key drivers include retention (5% increase boosts profits up to 95%), purchase frequency, average order value, and acquisition quality. To improve LTV, focus on retention, cross-platform adoption, and optimizing acquisition by predicted LTV rather than CPI.
Cross-platform measurement resolves the common problem of fragmented, device-level reporting that inflates ROAS and misallocates budgets. By unifying customer identity across web, mobile, CTV, and other surfaces, marketers gain a single view of LTV and attribution. AppsFlyer provides this via CUID stitching and Product Line grouping, enabling real-time, deduplicated insights without manual BI work. Key benefits include accurate cross-platform ROAS, elimination of duplicate attribution, and reliable data for AI-driven optimization.
European finance app installs hit 960M in 2025 but grew only 0.4%. BNPL apps grew 40% while crypto fell 35%, signaling a shift to utility. Neobanks win acquisition; traditional banks win retention (1.5-2x Day 30 rates). Web-to-app drives 41.8% of conversions but most brands can't measure the handoff. Nearly 1 in 2 investment app installs in Western Europe is fraudulent, distorting CPI and ROAS. Winning brands prioritize engagement, fraud detection, and cross-platform measurement.
iOS remarketing now accounts for 92% of eCommerce ad spend, up from 77% in 2025. Android re-engagement drives a 231% conversion uplift in the US vs. 118% on iOS. Most apps capture under a third of app-influenced revenue. The fix is expanding measurement beyond direct in-app sales to include web, in-store, and lifetime value impacts. Fraud also rises with spend—monitor traffic quality. Marketers should invest based on conversion lift and revenue impact, not installs or last-click attribution.
iOS remarketing now captures 92% of eCommerce ad spend, up from 77% in 2025. Android re-engagement drives 231% conversion uplift (US). Most brands underreport app-influenced revenue, capturing <33%. The fix is expanding measurement to web, in-store, and LTV lift. Fraud is rising; monitor traffic quality. Action: measure across channels, not just in-app.
Email, SMS, and push are high-intent channels, but a structural gap between click and in-app action causes massive drop-off. CTRs of 30-40% often yield only 1-3% in-app conversion. The root cause is ESP link wrapping, which breaks deep link context and attribution. Fixing the handoff through proper deep linking can double purchase rates and unlock channel performance. Brands must treat the link as a continuation layer, not a redirect, and ensure context survives the transition.
TikTok Market Scope is a full-funnel analytics tool integrating paid, organic, and branded data to map audience journeys from awareness to conversion. Key updates include dual-funnel views for TikTok Shop and web, upgraded Brand Perception with tentpole planning, and IP-level insights for theatrical brands. Data shows consideration audiences drive 1.8x more store visits, 1.5x higher sales response, and 4.2x higher incremental sales than awareness audiences. Actionable for ad ops: leverage Brand Consideration ads to scale mid-funnel audiences and use audience tags for precision targeting.
At MAU 2026, the industry agreed that attention, not production, is the bottleneck. Cross-platform web-to-app attribution is now achievable with AppsFlyer's mobile-grade measurement extending to web, giving ad ops a unified view. AI is in production, with Square's team shipping six live workflows. Web-to-app is the most efficient top-of-funnel for app businesses, and retention overtakes acquisition. Ad ops must prioritize clean signal layers and incrementality testing over single-metric attribution.
