"As an ad-first-funded developer, our top priority is to optimize revenue. Lower eCPMs for banner ads can adversely impact our return on ad spend (ROAS), which is why we are always looking for new ways to drive revenue. When our AdMob partner manager approached us with this idea, we were excited to try it out."
"AdMob in-app purchase house ads have helped our team build confidence in the international market and in ourselves, and have supported the development of follow-up releases to our original games."
"AdMob is by far our primary choice because it is a proven network with a broader reach than other ad networks. The result is higher gross revenues - which is what we’re after."
"Ad revenue enabled us to make our apps free to use, opening us up to a much larger user base and allowing us to compete with other free apps. And we can finally start hiring and are looking for an ad operations specialist who can help us optimize our strategy even more."
“We were launching 200 or more campaigns through Google Ads, But it was very difficult to track all these campaigns and the revenue the acquired users were generating in the app.”
"The quality of the users we acquire is very important for us. That's something Google AdMob is definitely helping us to do."
"The biggest roadblock was convincing our development team that the new ad placement wouldn't be intrusive to the user experience or lower our reviews on the Play Store. We needed to prove to the team that introducing app open ads wouldn't negatively impact retention metrics, while providing a net positive in terms of revenue."
"After seeing the success of this format, we will be replicating it in other apps."
"AdMob has the highest fill rate and CPM compared to other ad platforms. I would encourage all developers to use AdMob in their free applications."
"We rolled out smart segmentation in about a week, and the revenue ramped up within a month - a 30% increase in ad revenue to the first title we tried."
"Switching to AdMob is definitely a win for us. It increased our in-app ad revenue while keeping our users happy."
"Our backend was already entirely on Google, and we know Google has a strong reputation for great tech, but ultimately we felt that AdMob would have the most stable technology and take any risks off the table — so we felt comfortable moving forward."
"AdMob mediation and bidding is very easy to apply, implement, and integrate. It lets us focus more of our efforts on our products and expansion."
"The experience with AdMob native ads has been very positive. Native ads look better and helps improve user experience. Customizing the ads on Native Ads Express is very easy and the support from my AdMob account manager was first rate."
"Google’s products and support have given me the opportunity to do what I love and start my own company."
