Through a feature called App Tracking Transparency (ATT), rolling out in iOS 14.5, Apple is cracking down on apps that track users’ data without permission.
Impressions are counted when at least 50% of the ad is visible for one second, Apple notes.Īpple’s decision to expand its advertising business appears to be a calculated move timed with the launch of iOS 14.5, the latest version of the iPhone’s operating system. The actual cost is the result of a second price auction, which calculates what the developer will pay based on what the next closest bidder is willing to pay. Ad pricing is based on a cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) model.
Developers can spend as little or as much as they want, then start, stop or adjust the campaign at any time, says Apple. Like the existing Search results campaigns, there’s no minimum spend required for a Search tab campaign. Because developers are buying a direct placement on the App Store, they don’t need to submit keywords as they would for other App Store ads, nor any other creative assets. These new ad placements, which Apple calls “ Search tab campaigns,” are being made available as part of Apple’s Search Ads Advanced service, and can take advantage of the assets that developers have already uploaded to their App Store product page - like the app’s name, icon and subtitle. The ad will appear in the latter section at the top of the list of Suggested apps. Today, the Search tab offers two sections below the search box itself: a “Discover” section that highlights current App Store trends, and a “Suggested” section with recommended apps and games to try. This new and more prominent ad placement is found on the App Store’s Search tab, which sees millions of visits from Apple device owners every month. This can expose the app to a wider audience. The new ad slot, however, will reach users before they search. For example, if you typed in “taxi,” you might then see an ad by Uber in the top slot above the search results. Previously, developers could promote their apps after users initiated a search on the App Store by targeting specific keywords. At the same time as it’s cracking down on the advertising businesses run by rivals, Apple is introducing a new way for developers to advertise on the App Store.
