Caret Games Doubles the Install Volume with SearchAds.com

Caret Games is a Korean mobile MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) developer. Having been invested by Softbank Ventures in 2017, the company is currently expanding its service area beyond Korean Market.

They have been using SearchAds.com since October 2019.

The User Acquisition Challenge

As a fast-growing company in the global arena, Caret Games needed to maintain the inflow of users and increase its brand recognition. In addition to the organic growth methods, they needed a more effective channel to increase the visibility and acquire more users. Hence, Apple Ads was the most cost-effective paid channel for the additional push that the company needed in user acquisition. However, Caret Games needed a more automated platform to cut down the time spent on manual work.

The Strategy

They used automated rules of SearchAds.com to keep their campaigns optimized. They have also been able to save a great deal of time which they utilized for polishing their Apple Ads strategy to achieve further gains.

As the game business is highly competitive, getting intelligence on competitors’ keywords is essential to achieve outstanding results in Apple Ads. For that purpose, Caret Games effectively used Keyword Auction Insights to keep an eye on its competitors’ paid keywords and adjusted its strategy accordingly.

“SearchAds.com can track the competitor’s bidding keywords and manage our campaign on Automation Rule. We felt like hiring a new Apple Ads marketer!”
