IndexWoning offers homeowners in the Netherlands a unique insight into various aspects of their home. The app can determine the value of your home and predict how much your home will be worth in the future. In addition, IndexWoning also provides insight into the impact of sustainability measures, such as installing solar panels and/or a heat pump, on both the value of your home and your energy consumption.

The challenge

As an innovative app, IndexWoning was looking for ways to increase app downloads. The challenge was to create effective campaigns that would lead to a significant increase in app downloads, while keeping the costs per download manageable.

Our solution

For this question we have developed a two-phase strategy:

  1. Awareness campaigns on Meta and TikTok: First, we set up campaigns on Meta (Facebook & Instagram) and TikTok to create brand awareness. These platforms offer the opportunity to target a broad audience at reasonable costs. The reach of these campaigns was large, with more than 2,5 million people seeing the ads. In this phase, less effort was put into obtaining sufficient app downloads. The logical consequence of this was that these lagged behind, and the costs were on the high side.
  2. Conversion-focused campaigns on Google Ads: To increase actual conversions, we shifted our focus to Google Ads, specifically with an App Promotion campaign. This campaign type uses AI to target advertising to potential app downloaders. This campaign type creates the most suitable ad itself based on campaign material that you offer.

THE RESULT

Our approach led to impressive results:

125x more app downloads: After switching to Google Ads, we saw an explosive increase in app downloads, with a whopping 125x more downloads than before the Google Ads campaign.

55% lower CPC: Cost per click (CPC) decreased by 55%, contributing to the overall cost reduction of the campaign.

Cost per download from €95 to €3: The cost per download was reduced dramatically, from approximately €95 to just €3, making the campaign not only more effective but also much more cost-efficient.
