App Ads in Google Ads (previously known as AdWords) are a type of campaign designed to promote mobile applications across Google’s properties, including Google Search, Google Play, YouTube, and the Google Display Network. These campaigns help app developers increase downloads and drive in-app actions (such as purchases or sign-ups).

Key Features of Google App Ads:
Automation: App Ads rely heavily on machine learning. Google automatically optimizes targeting, bids, and ad placements to achieve the best performance based on the campaign goals (app installs, in-app actions, etc.).
Ad Creatives: You don’t need to create specific ads for each placement. Instead, you provide text, images, videos, or HTML5 assets, and Google generates multiple ads across different networks automatically.
Wide Reach: App Ads can appear across Google’s entire ad ecosystem, including:
- Google Search
- Google Play Store
- YouTube
- Google Display Network
- AdMob (Google's mobile advertising network)
Bidding Options:
- Cost-per-install (CPI): Focuses on driving app downloads.
- Cost-per-action (CPA): Optimizes for in-app conversions, such as a specific action within the app (e.g., completing a purchase).
Tracking & Measurement: Google provides tools to measure performance like installs, user engagement, and other in-app actions using Firebase Analytics or third-party app analytics platforms.
How App Ads Work:
- You provide the app URL (iOS or Android), headlines, descriptions, images, and videos.
- Google’s algorithms automatically test and generate ads using your provided assets.
- Google optimizes the ads based on user interactions, showing the most relevant version to different users on various platforms.
App Ads simplify the promotion process for developers by leveraging Google's machine learning to increase app visibility and drive specific user behaviors within apps.
