Advertise your app with Google Universal app campaign
What Google UAC? It is a powerful advertising tool, used by many in the mobile industry to increase app downloads and revenue.
To enable developers as well as marketers to use the full power of Google in an easier way. Google decided to launch universal app campaign so that they can reach audiences on multiple channels like Google Play, YouTube, Discover and the Google Display Network.
How does Google UAC work?
Google UAC allows you to promote your mobile application in the Google sphere without even wasting time creating your ad.

From a series of tests, Google AdWords will refine your ads until only one ad is displayed which will obtain the best performance.
Universal App Campaigns (UAC) are automated ads in Google Ads that help advertisers drive more app installs and/or drive in-app conversions.
By using Google AI machine learning to identify which ad performs best, Google claims this process can generate up to 140% higher conversion rates per dollar spent compared to other promotional tools. app from Google.
Targeting is automatic, however you can influence it by defining your conversion goals. Indeed, Google defines locations according to relevance and its inventories among its different networks:
Search: Google Play, Google Search and Search Network Partners
Youtube
Display: mobile applications, sites focused on mobile news, blogs and other thematic sites
What type of auction to choose on Google Universal App Campaign
For auctions, you have to think in terms of cost per installation. So, to set your daily budget, you will need to estimate the cost you are willing to pay for each installation and that will be your bid.
So you take that bid and you multiply that number by the number of installs you want to achieve. If for example you want to reach 10 installations for a budget of 3 euros per installation then you will have 30 euros per day.
Once your bid is set, two avenues for optimization are available to you:
Either, you favor the number of installations, the bidding and targeting will be adapted to achieve a volume objective
Either, you prefer to use the app. In which case, Google relies more on the quality of the profiles recruited, even if it means slightly raising the bid
Google UAC, available on both Android and IOS?
Google UAC is fully compatible with IOS. However, if you have an IOS application and you want to get ahead of your competitors, it is best for you to launch Google UAC campaigns at the same time as Apple Search Ads campaigns in order to maximize your reach.
