Editor's Note
Shopify App Store Ads can work.
But ads don’t fix a weak funnel. Ads expose it.
If the listing is unclear, activation is slow, or support is messy, ads will scale churn and negative reviews.
So instead of “should we run ads?”, the better question is:
Are we ready to run ads?
This issue is a pass/fail audit you can run in 10 minutes to get that answer.
Let’s get into it.
The 10-minute “Are We Ready for App Store Ads?” Audit
A pass/fail checklist to avoid paying to learn basics
Hello Founders,
Today’s issue: The App Store Ads Readiness Audit
This is the checklist to run before you spend a rupee or a dollar.
Inside the audit:
Listing readiness: first two lines, screenshots, pricing clarity, support expectations
Economics readiness: do you know your break-even CPI and max CPC?
Tracking readiness: can you measure activation from ads installs?
Activation readiness: can merchants reach a visible win in under 10 minutes?
Review and support readiness: are you prepared for volume without hurting ratings?
Keyword and bidding readiness: staged approach + negative keyword awareness
Competitive context check: are you jumping into a crowded keyword fight blind?
Pricing model fit: does paid traffic see value before paywall decisions?
Geo and ICP targeting: are you paying for clicks from markets that won’t convert?
Data volume baseline: do you have enough installs to learn in 14 days?
A prioritized “fix first” order so you don’t waste time fixing the wrong thing
