// 02 WHAT IT IS FOR

Three jobs Android installs do

Getting a new Android app indexed

A listing with no install history gives the store little reason to show it. Direct-link installs give it activity to work with.

Moving a keyword position on volume

Installs that arrive through a search term tell Google Play the app is relevant to it. The position moves on automated installs too.

Testing whether a keyword responds

Run a small volume on a term and watch the position on the tracker. There is no minimum spend, and the price is the same in up to 150 countries.

// 03 HOW IT WORKS

Pick, pace, check

// 04 PRICE

One price, every country, every placement

One price in every country, no minimum order, and you can stop the campaign at any point. It is the smallest product we sell: an install and nothing on top.

// 05 WITH CUSTOMER CARE

Self-serve, with someone who sets it up with you

Every account comes with a customer care manager. Not a sales call, and not a gate before the prices: a person who reads your keyword list with you and says which terms a campaign can run on.

Olivia from Rankforgecustomer care manager, in the platform chat
Hi! I added twelve keywords and the campaign just won’t start. What am I doing wrong?
OHi! Nothing on your side, I checked. A few of those terms don’t bring up your app in the store yet, so our users simply can’t find it there.
OYou don’t have to go through them one by one. Open Analytics → Search Terms: if a term shows a position for today, the store already knows you for it and a campaign can run.
And the ones with a dash instead of a position?
OThose we can’t push yet, no matter the budget. Keep the ones with a position, drop the rest, start again — should go through in a minute.
OSend me your list if you like, I’ll go through it with you.

// 06 FAQ

Questions about Android campaigns

Why are there no live installs on Google Play?
Live installs are not available on Google Play, so every install here is generated automatically. There are no real people behind them, and that is why there are no ratings and no retention.
Will these installs hurt my retention numbers?
They add installs with no returning users, so the retention rate of the app as a whole goes down for the period of the campaign. If retention is a number you watch, keep the pace low relative to your organic installs, or use the App Store offer where retention checkpoints can be added.
Do automated Android keyword installs move a position?
Yes. Google Play records the install through the search term, and that is what the position responds to. What they do not do is keep the position afterwards through organic use, so pick keywords the app can defend once the campaign stops.
Are Android ratings or reviews available?
No. Ratings are available only on the App Store, on live installs. Reviews are not available on any store.
How do I check that the installs arrived?
Positions: type the keyword into Google Play search before and during the campaign, or follow it in the tracker. Install counts: installs from a campaign arrive mixed in with your usual traffic, so the totals in Play Console will not line up one to one with ours.
