App Marketing in Edinburgh

Getting a Edinburgh business's mobile app installed and, more importantly, still being used a month later. Installs are the easy metric to buy and the least meaningful — most apps lose the large majority of new users within the first week, and paying to replace them never ends.

Why this comes up

The problem

App budgets chase install volume. Users arrive, never complete onboarding, and churn within days, so acquisition spend is refilling a bucket with a hole in it.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Store listings optimised — title, screenshots and preview video, which drive conversion
  • Install campaigns run against retained users rather than install count
  • Onboarding measured step by step, so the point people abandon is known
  • Attribution configured properly, including the limits Apple's privacy framework imposes
  • Push and lifecycle messaging set up to bring lapsed users back
  • Reporting on day-one, day-seven and day-thirty retention alongside cost per install

App Marketing in Edinburgh — common questions

Why is cost per install a poor target?
Because it is trivially cheap to buy installs from people who will never open the app twice. Retained users are the only ones worth paying for, so campaigns should optimise towards a meaningful in-app action rather than the install itself.
What actually drives store conversion?
Screenshots and the first two lines of the description, more than anything else. Most people decide from the listing without scrolling, so testing screenshots usually returns more than adjusting keywords.
How has attribution changed on iOS?
Apple's privacy framework limits user-level tracking without consent, so measurement is more aggregated and delayed than it was. Campaigns can still be optimised, but anyone promising the granularity of a few years ago is describing something that no longer exists.
Should we build an app at all?
Often not, and it is worth asking before spending on marketing. Apps earn their place with repeat use and genuine device features. For occasional transactions a good mobile website performs better and costs far less to acquire users for.
Do you work with businesses across City of Edinburgh?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Edinburgh businesses do you usually work with?
Financial services and data-led work, plus seasonal systems that have to absorb enormous August load without falling over. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Technology, Tourism, Higher Education and Data Science.
Do you cover the areas around Edinburgh?
Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Glasgow. Edinburgh is an urban area of roughly 540,000+, and we take on work across the wider City of Edinburgh region rather than the city boundary alone.
