Opposite of that, if Exact Match is turned on, your keywords will only match with an ad if a user searches for the exact keyword.":1,"#Broad Match and Exact Match":1,"#A good plan is to have a discovery campaign that has Search Match incorporated. Make sure you monitor the daily cap closely, as one or two popular keywords could quickly eat up your budget. Information is key in ASA, and Search Match is an easy way for you to leverage the mountains of intelligence Apple has on their side of the walled garden. You may find your next winning keyword where you least expect it.":1,"#Search Match is best used with discovery campaigns where you are looking at casting as big of a net as possible.

Keep monitoring to add low-converting keywords or remove keywords that suddenly become more relevant to your app.":1,"#Any campaign you have either Search Match or Broad Search turned on will need a negative keyword list. Another good plan is to keep a list of your brand keywords and add them as negative keywords for your discovery campaigns that have Search Match turned on. Search Match will often hit many of your brand keywords in its algorithm, which means you will have the same keyword showing up twice in different campaigns. It’s important to not have the same keyword in multiple campaigns, as you will want to keep tight control of the bid amount for every keyword and the exact budget for every campaign.":1,"#Negative keywords are a great way to control costs and improve campaign efficiency.

Now you need to look and see why these keywords that should be converting just plain aren’t. The biggest culprit is going to be your app page. If someone is searching for “Venmo”, but they get an install page that looks closer to Candy Crush, you can imagine quite a few bailing in the first few seconds, thinking they made a mistake. That’s why it’s important to continually update and optimize your product page and other App Store Optimization (ASO) elements. Think of other localizations as well; Apple allows you to maintain multiple app pages for this exact purpose so that a list of keywords that perform well in Australia go to an app page more tailored to the winning bid. In the end, what good is winning a bid in ASA if it does not result in an acquisition?":1,"#The best thing to do is take your lowest converting keywords and analyze them. In many cases, it’s keywords that you know will never convert at a high rate. They may be bad misspells, wrong translations, or words that don’t describe your app correctly. Keep that list of keywords, as we will use them for negative keywords later.":1,"#As for low-converting keywords, it’s good to look at those as well. In many cases, it could be a keyword that overlaps with another app that at this time is more popular than your own or a word that is lost in translation. Conversion is measured by taps on your winning ad. So even if it was an error and someone miss-tapped your app, that is still a missed opportunity.":1,"#If you have a mobile measurement partner (MMP) integrated with an ASA campaign management platform like Search Ads Maven, you can link keywords to an install and actual events within your app. Your conversion rate can be based on subscriptions or actual spend in your app, which can be the true revenue generation you want.":1,"#What kind of conversion rate you should be aiming for depends on the campaigns. Your top converting keywords should always be in your brand campaign. Keep monitoring and analyzing your keywords weekly or at least monthly to see which keyword bids are turning into an install. Then, keep that list and add it into either a brand campaign or a discovery/category campaign with Exact Match turned on.":1,"#It should come as no surprise that watching and tracking the conversion rates of your keywords is very important. The best way to save money in ASA is constantly limiting bids on low-converting keywords and raising bids on the higher ones.":1,"#Exact Match is perfect for campaigns where you already have an effective and powerful keyword set. Brand campaigns are usually where you know the exact language of these high-converting keywords, and expanding the list doesn’t serve the proper goal. While I am sure the app Tinder would love to have the keyword “tinder” in their brand campaign, a search for “fire” or “kindling” probably doesn’t have the same value. Brand campaigns need a tight leash around them so keep Exact Match turned on for them or any other campaign you already have an exact list for.":1,"#Discovery and category campaigns can also both benefit from Broad Match. Keep Broad Match turned on for discovery campaigns that aren’t using Search Match as well as other large net campaigns. If you are thinking of using an ad group in a country that doesn’t use your primary language, Broad Match can help with translations of your keywords into the native language there. Translations aren’t a perfect science, but it’s a smart way of getting a leg up in India if all of your keywords are automatically translated into both English and Hindi.":1,"#Misspelled keyword bids can also be cost effective as competitors usually don’t have misspelled words for your app in their campaigns (although if you wanted to conquer keywords from other apps you may think of doing it for their list of misspells).":1,"#For brand keywords, it can be a good idea to have Broad Match turned on as it increases that specific net you will be throwing out. The biggest draw is the misspellings that can happen when someone searches for your brand. Misspellings happen often, and usually, someone doesn’t realize them until after they have clicked on the results. Even if they don’t convert to a competitor’s app after the search, there is a good chance they might not try again, and that’s an install you just lost for nothing.":1,"#Utilize the Scripted Automation tool within Search Ads Maven to optimize campaigns in Apple Search Ads (ASA).":1,"#Staying on top of your campaigns in Apple Search Ads just got a whole lot easier.

You will want to do this first as automation cannot actually create categories or ad groups.
