Getting started with user acquisition for apps: The complete guide

By Shani Rosenfelder·2025年11月5日·16 分钟阅读

摘要

文章系统阐述了移动应用用户获取(UA)的现状、挑战与核心方法论。正文以行业数据开篇:据App Annie 2017-2022预测,应用商店年消费额至2020年将达1570亿美元,较2017年增长92%;单设备平均年支出增长23%至26美元。作者强调,尽管非自然安装占比持续提升,但UA面临的挑战包括用户留存率低(非自然用户留存较自然用户高20%)、设备与系统碎片化、跨渠道测量困难、媒体成本攀升(特别是获取付费用户)以及广告欺诈(AppsFlyer数据显示近1/4安装为欺诈)。

文章的核心观点是归因分析(Attribution)是UA成功的基石。作者详细拆解了MMP(移动测量合作伙伴)的三大价值:一是通过最后一触归因(Last-touch Attribution)确定真实安装来源,避免重复付费;二是以单一SDK整合所有广告网络,避免多SDK产生的数据冲突与技术负担;三是通过中立第三方保障数据准确性,支撑后续优化决策。文章特别指出,Facebook、Google等头部渠道均要求官方MMP合作伙伴,这要求开发者选择具有深度集成、欺诈防护(基于机器学习和跨网络规模)及安全合规能力的服务商。

在媒体渠道部分,文章引入PESO模型(付费、自有、共享、赢得),重点分析付费媒体(如Facebook、Apple Search Ads)与自有媒体(如ASO)的协作策略。作者指出,尽管ASO能提升自然流量,但应用商店分发机制已“broken”(破碎),开发者必须依赖付费UA实现可控增长。针对付费渠道,文章建议通过归因数据识别高LTV用户来源,动态调整出价,同时结合SKAN验证iOS端投放效果,以应对隐私政策变化。

最后,文章提出“增量提效”的实践框架:利用MMP实现多触点归因,将触点数据与用户生命周期价值挂钩;通过A/B测试优化创意与受众定向;建立反欺诈机制保护预算。文章结构层层递进,从行业趋势到技术选型再到执行策略,为开发者提供了一份完整的UA入门指南。

Winning every stage of the shopper journey with data – your ultimate guide to eCommerce app growth

App measurement is fundamentally different from web analytics due to data fragmentation across ad networks, devices, and apps. A Mobile Measurement Partner (MMP) like AppsFlyer bridges these gaps, enabling unified attribution, fraud protection, and LTV measurement. For eCommerce, granular event tracking, deep linking, and privacy-safe data collaboration are critical. Leaders should focus on metrics like IR, CPI, LTV, and ROAS, and adopt AI-driven optimization to overcome challenges like ad fraud and privacy changes. The future is Connected Commerce—integrating apps, web, retail media, and AI.

How banks measure marketing ROI across every channel: Paid, owned, and app

Banks lack unified attribution for owned channels (email, SMS, push), web, QR codes, and re-engagement, causing budget misallocation. Omnichannel attribution connects all touchpoints to deposits and loans, revealing that owned channels can be 2-3X more cost-efficient than paid ads. Cross-device journeys (e.g., mobile ad to desktop conversion) remain invisible in single-device attribution. Banking-grade compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001) is maintained. Ad ops decision-makers can optimize budget allocation by comparing true cost per deposit/loan across channels.

Marketing attribution: what it is and how to measure it

Marketing attribution is critical for connecting spend to revenue, but platform self-reporting and last-click bias distort budget decisions. Single-touch models (first/last-click) are simple but miss the full journey; multi-touch models (position-based, data-driven) are more accurate but require robust data. Mobile attribution is particularly challenging due to ATT, SKAdNetwork, and cross-platform gaps, necessitating a mobile measurement partner (MMP) for independent, deduplicated measurement. Clean attribution data is essential for AI-driven optimization—bad signals lead to bad decisions. Starting with position-based attribution and incrementality testing provides a practical foundation.

Why banks lose mobile customers (and how deep linking wins them back)

Over 75% of banking app users drop off after first session due to friction. AppsFlyer's Deep Linking Suite preserves user intent by routing customers directly to relevant in-app experiences from any entry point: web, QR codes, SMS, email, or app. Deferred deep linking ensures non-app users reach the intended destination after installation. Deep linking improves day-30 retention by 110% with personalized onboarding. For ad ops, this reduces wasted ad spend by connecting campaigns to actual conversions like account funding.

Where European Finance Apps Win or Lose Users

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.
