Burner by Ad Hoc Labs is a mobile app and service that enables users to obtain temporary, disposable numbers for voice and SMS communication in the U.S. and Canada.
The team is actively using Apple Search Ads as part of their user acquisition mix.
We use Apple Search Ads because it boosts our app’s visibility and drives more installs and user events. It helps us get noticed in the busy app marketplace and brings in users who are likely to stick around and engage with our app beyond just installing it. It’s a key part of our strategy for getting our app out there and making sure it’s a hit with users.
At some point, Burner faced increased competition and the necessity for actionable intelligence. So the team started looking for a solution to automate Apple Search Ads campaigns, analyze post-install performance, automate bidding, and visualize the data.
The company experts opted for the SplitMetrics Acquire platform because they were seeking a solution that could meet their business needs.
