2.5x Mobile App Installs Without Extra Budget: A Google Ads Case Study
Client
A pizza chain with its own mobile app. We have been working together for more than 6 years. The data below covers the period of the current Google Ads account.
Goal
Increase the number of mobile app installs. The app is a strategically important channel: users acquired through it can later be re-engaged for free via push notifications.
Google Ads results (March – May 2026)
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Ad spend | ₴14 449 (~$326) |
| Conversions (installs) | 582 |
| Cost per conversion | ₴24.83 (~$0.56) |
Bonus: x2.5 growth without extra budget
Alongside the paid campaigns, a custom feature was implemented on the client’s website via Google Tag Manager — at no cost and in 15 minutes of work.
Results:
- Before: ~356 installs/month (peak season)
- After: 714 installs in April, ~800 in May
Growth: x2.5 — without increasing the ad budget.
Key takeaway
The ad account is only the tip of the iceberg. Most of the growth potential lies outside it — in marketing decisions, website mechanics and product strategy. Systems thinking beyond the ad account can multiply results without multiplying the budget.
