Some of these changes have been on my mind for months, but needed some inspiration and focus time to start to become real. Excited to see where the next phase of Bills to Budget goes!

Woo hoo! Thanks for the feature @mbrkhrdt !

@gwaldo Hey Waldo! Yeah, CoreBits LLC is my company

@Matt1Corey Is the company CoreBits?

🚨It's launch day!🚨 Within Reach is a companion app for people on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy. Keep up with your dosages, visualize your progress, and keep a log of symptoms. It helps you manage the ups and downs, stay consistent, and see how far you've come.

Logically, it makes simple sense - you can drive traffic to specific keywords - but I've never seen any change with this. Would love to hear any first-hand stories of success (or non-success) in moving a keyword ranking by using search ads

Alright, Indie iOS Devs - the 'prevailing wisdom' seems to be that you can use Apple Ads to influence keyword rankings, but I've never seen any specific guidance on this. Can anyone speak to this with personal experience? #iosdev #indiedev

@alpennec @juanjovn I'll second this - I came to X/itter this morning to ask this exact question!

@juanjovn Thanks!

Tomorrow I’m having a videocall with a  Business Strategist from the Apple Ads Team. Is there something you want me to ask her? 👇

@MattHeaney23 @RevenueCat Congrats, Matt!

I am SO excited to share that I’m joining @RevenueCat as a Developer Support Engineer in January! 😸 RevenueCat has been at the very top of my list of companies I’ve wanted to work for anywhere in the world for years, so this is an absolute dream come true 🤩

@asheeeeeshh Mmm, that’s a good point - ad placements still need to perform, so the value issue likely isn’t an issue. 🤔

@Matt1Corey I'd assume they increase number of appearances or something to compensate because you're still billed on tap or install, so they don't really make money unless its effective

So in addition to the ad shown at the top of the search results they‘re adding more placements lower in the the he search results. Apps have no control over the placement. “More opportunities” sounds fine, but downloads simply don’t happen if you’re not in the top 5 or 10...

@alpennec @filippkowalski Yeah - the 'In-App Purchases' metric on AppStore Connect includes renewals, so it's not a good measure of "free to paid conversions". You need to look at the events in 'Trends' for that, as far as I know

@filippkowalski Free trials? Renewals?

just checked one of my apps' free-to-paid conversion rate, and it's surprisingly high something doesn't add up, because revenue for it is not so high 😅

@thatvirtualboy Thank you!

@Matt1Corey Looks great Matt!

Time for something new! Within Reach is an upcoming app to help people who are going through their own journey with GLP-1 medication. This article is a bit of a personal story behind the app. Early beta opens today - please give it a look! open.substack.com/pub/mattcorey/…
