Deciding to add a blog to your app website depends on factors like time and app type. A blog can attract organic search traffic, but requires consistent effort. To succeed, launch with 5-10 quality posts, understand your target audience, maintain a regular posting schedule, leverage social media for promotion, and experiment with different marketing techniques.
Not all apps benefit equally; consider your app's niche and content possibilities before committing.

CTV has become performance-ready for app marketers. Recent acquisitions (Fox/Roku, Walmart/Vibe) signal a shift to self-serve, measurable channels. Marketers can reuse existing UA creative instead of producing TV ads. QR codes drive direct response, but halo effects often matter more. Start with small, additive test budgets and measure assists/incrementality to understand true impact. CTV offers a way to find incremental users and diversify beyond paid social.
Global app installs rose 13% YoY and sessions 5% in H1 2026, signaling sustained growth despite market saturation concerns. Casual gaming saw a 55% surge in sessions, while e-commerce install day engagement improved across all regions, with North America reaching 1.34 and LATAM 1.4. Finance apps saw installs up 5% but sessions up 29%, underscoring the importance of retention. Ad ops teams should prioritize casual gaming, optimize install day experiences, and prepare for a strong H2 holiday peak, leveraging accurate measurement to allocate budgets effectively.
E-commerce apps continue to gain momentum, with global installs and sessions up and North America leading regional growth. As Q4 seasonal peaks intensify and user acquisition costs climb, marketers must prioritize channels that deliver ROI. The new shopping app insights report from Adjust provides essential data on installs, retention, revenue, and UA costs, along with subvertical and regional breakdowns across 21 countries. For ad ops decision-makers, this is a key resource for refining UA strategy, benchmarking performance, and identifying where to invest amid rising competition and a growing number of acquisition channels.
The Review Analysis module mines app reviews for keywords, highlighting trends and sentiment. It helps find new, relevant keywords easily, such as 'elixir', with low competition and high traffic. Testing is crucial to optimize keyword lists for better visibility and downloads.
Incrementality testing complements attribution by quantifying the causal impact of marketing spend. For ad ops decision-makers, key insights: match the metric to the business decision—installs for acquisition, revenue for ROAS. Interpret results by checking incremental effect, statistical significance, and organic cannibalization. Use these to guide budget: increase spend when incrementality is significant and exceeds targets; maintain when stable; reduce or reallocate when lift is low or cannibalization occurs. Never mix metrics from different test types.
