I already run a Google Ads (PPI) campaign for my mobile app, but the keyword and audience setup feels too broad and I’m not seeing the post-install engagement I want. The app itself is finished; what I need now is a specialist to tighten up my existing campaign. Here’s the situation • Campaign type: App promotion (Pay-Per-Install) running in Google Ads • Current focus: brand-specific keywords, but they are not segmented or matched properly • Objective: lift in-app engagement after the install, not just raw install volume I’d like you to examine the live account, audit the search terms and audiences, and rebuild the keyword and targeting framework so it speaks directly to high-intent users who are likely to stick around. Key deliverables - A refined keyword set (match types, negative lists, and any discovery expansions) - Updated audience and location targeting that aligns with our user profile - Brief rationale for each change plus simple next-step recommendations so I can manage the campaign going forward I’ll provide full account access, current performance stats, and creative assets. If you’ve done similar app-focused keyword refinement before, especially around brand terms, I’d love to hear how you improved retention metrics.

More installs won’t solve the problem if the users installing your app aren’t the ones likely to engage afterward. I can audit the existing Google Ads app campaign, tighten the brand keywords, match types, negatives, audiences and locations, and restructure targeting around higher-intent users. I’ll also review the search-term and performance data to identify where installs are coming from without meaningful post-install engagement. You’ll get a refined keyword/targeting framework with clear reasoning and next steps you can manage going forward. If you share the current campaign performance and your key post-install event, I can quickly identify where I’d start tightening the account.

Hello, Google App Campaigns optimize for installs by default — shifting to engagement requires linking Firebase/Adjust events and restructuring bids around post-install actions, not just keyword refinement. Brand keywords alone rarely drive retention; high-intent users search for problem-solution phrases, not your app name. The approach audits current conversion tracking first to confirm engagement events fire correctly, then rebuilds targeting around in-app behavior signals (e.g., tutorial completion, feature usage) rather than install volume. Negative keywords exclude low-retention search patterns identified in historical data. Audience layers combine app activity with demographic filters aligned to your best LTV users. Do you currently track specific in-app engagement events in Firebase or another MMP? Without this, campaign optimization can’t distinguish valuable installs from churn-prone ones. Share your current conversion action setup so I can validate event tracking before restructuring bids.

Brand keywords on broad match in app campaigns are usually the main culprit when installs come in but engagement doesn't. Low-intent searches slip through -- misspellings, 'brand name + free alternative,' generic app-category terms -- and those users install once and never come back. Tightening match types and building a proper negative list fixes most of that bleed. I run Google Ads and Meta campaigns for a couple of clients right now, including a medspa where I handle the full paid funnel from targeting through conversion tracking. Same process applies here: pull the search term report, kill the waste, rebuild keyword groups around high-intent signals. For your app campaign specifically I'd also look at the in-app event setup. If you're optimizing for installs only and not downstream actions, Google has no signal to find users who actually stick around. You'd get the cleaned keyword framework, negative lists, audience targeting updates and a short rationale doc so you can manage things going forward without needing me for every tweak. I can start with an account audit this week -- just share access and I'll have initial findings back within a couple days.

One thing to settle before anyone touches the account, because it changes the whole job. Google App campaigns do not take keywords. No match types, no negative lists, no manual audience targeting. You supply assets, budget, a bid target and a conversion goal, and Google decides placement. So a brief asking to refine keywords and match types on an App campaign describes work that cannot be done. Two possibilities. Either you also run a Search campaign, where keywords are real and I will rebuild them. Or it is a true App campaign and the keyword layer you are seeing is not what you think. Either way your real objective - engagement after install, not raw installs - has one lever that matters: change the conversion goal from install to a specific in-app action. That is what re-points the bidding at users who stay. That only works if in-app events are actually firing back to Google. Most accounts I open have that broken, which is why the campaign keeps buying cheap installs. At USD 100 over 2 days: audit with the campaign type stated plainly, event tracking verified end to end, conversion goal moved to the engagement action with bidding set to match, asset groups rebuilt, search terms and negatives rebuilt if a Search campaign exists, and a written reason for every change. Which campaign type is it? Send a screenshot of your campaign list and I will tell you in one message which half of this brief is doable. Aakaash

Hello - one technical point first, because it decides what is actually deliverable here. If your campaign is a true Google App campaign (the type you get by choosing "App promotion"), then keywords, match types and negative keyword lists do not exist inside it. App campaigns are fully automated: Google picks the queries and placements itself from your app store listing, your assets and your conversion data. There is no keyword tab to segment and no negative list to build. Anyone offering to "rebuild your keyword framework" there is offering a control the campaign type does not have. If instead you are running a Search campaign that drives installs (sometimes set up as web-to-app), then keywords, match types and negatives are all fully available and your brief is exactly right as written. Your wording - "App promotion (Pay-Per-Install)" combined with "brand-specific keywords" - fits both, so I would confirm it in the account before touching anything. That is my first question below. What I deliver, in either case: If it is a Search / web-to-app campaign - a rebuilt keyword framework: a search-term audit with every term classified keep / negative / expand, keywords restructured by match type and intent, a negative list built from the wasted spend actually visible in your search-terms report, and tightened location and audience targeting. This is the best option because it attacks post-install engagement at its source: the query someone typed before installing is the strongest available predictor of whether they stay. If it is a true App campaign - the levers that genuinely exist, which is where an engagement lift can actually come from: moving the optimisation target from installs to an in-app action, so Google optimises for users who do the thing you care about rather than for cheap installs; a bid and target review against your current cost per engaged user; asset-group analysis showing which creatives bring users who stay versus users who churn; plus the exclusions that are really available - location, and account-level placement and app-category exclusions. This is the best option because it uses the controls the platform actually gives you instead of ones it does not. Either way you also get a written rationale for every change and a short next-steps list you can run yourself afterwards. You said you want to manage the campaign going forward, so that document is written to be used without me. Honest about my track record: you asked how I improved retention metrics on similar app work. I have not done an app keyword refinement before and I will not point you at a case study I do not have. I have delivered three jobs on this platform and none of them are Google Ads. What I bring is the analysis - reading search-term and placement data and separating the segments that convert from the ones that only spend - plus the willingness to say when the thing being asked for is not available, which is how this proposal opened. Free before you award, so you need not take my word for any of it: give me read-only access and I will send back the campaign subtype confirmed, the largest wasted-spend segments I can see, and which of the two plans above applies. If it does not convince you, you have lost nothing. Access I need, at no extra cost: an invite to your Google Ads account. I will send you the Google address to invite as soon as you award, so it is one click for you. Read-only is enough for the audit; standard access only when you want changes applied. Work starts when access arrives, not before, so you never pay for waiting time. Three questions, all at once: 1. In the account, does the campaign show a Keywords tab? If yes it is Search; if not it is a true App campaign. 2. Which in-app action counts as "engagement" for you - registration, session length, a purchase, something else? 3. Any countries or regions you do not want users from at all? Suggested milestone breakdown (total $30 USD, 4 days): - M1 - $6 (20%): account audit and the confirmed plan (1 day) - M2 - $12 (40%): rebuilt keyword / targeting framework applied - M3 - $12 (40%): rationale document and next-steps handover Fund M1 to start, release when you are happy, then fund the next. Standard Freelancer escrow - it protects both of us. Ready to begin the moment you award and fund M1. - Amr
