A mobile game developer wants to acquire new users for their game and optimize for users who are most likely to make in-app purchases.

Which App campaign goal should they select?

A) App campaign for installs with optimization for in-app actions (purchases) to target high-value users
B) App campaign for installs optimized for volume without action optimization
C) A Search campaign targeting mobile game keywords
D) A Display campaign with app screenshots

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Optimizing for in-app actions targets users likely to make purchases, not just install. Volume-only optimization may attract users who never make purchases. Search campaigns are not the primary driver for app installs. Display campaigns alone lack app-specific optimization.

An app campaign is underperforming and the developer suspects the creative assets are the issue. They currently have only one image and one text asset.

What should they do to improve creative performance?

A) Upload a diverse set of creative assets including multiple images, videos, HTML5 assets, and text variations so Google’s AI can test and optimize combinations
B) Keep the single image and text to maintain consistency
C) Replace all assets with a single video only
D) Remove all images and use only text ads

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Diverse assets allow Google’s ML to find the best combinations across placements. Limited assets restrict optimization. Video-only misses text and image placements. Text-only misses visual engagement opportunities.

A fitness app wants to re-engage users who installed the app but have not opened it in the last 30 days.

Which App campaign type targets lapsed users?

A) App campaign for engagement targeting users who have installed the app but are inactive
B) App campaign for installs targeting new users who have never installed the app
C) A Search campaign targeting fitness keywords
D) A YouTube brand awareness campaign

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Engagement campaigns target existing users who have become inactive to drive re-engagement. Install campaigns target new users. Search campaigns are not specifically for re-engagement. Brand awareness campaigns reach new audiences, not lapsed users.

An app developer needs to track which ad clicks lead to app installs and which installed users make their first in-app purchase.

Which tracking setup is required?

A) Integrate a mobile measurement partner (MMP) or Firebase SDK for install attribution and in-app event tracking linked to Google Ads
B) Count total app store page views as conversions
C) Track only ad clicks without linking to app installs
D) Use website conversion tracking for in-app events

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Firebase SDK or MMP provides accurate install attribution and in-app event tracking. Store page views do not confirm installs. Click tracking alone misses post-click conversion data. Website tracking does not capture in-app events.

A subscription-based app wants to optimize their App campaign for users who complete a free trial signup after installing the app.

How should they configure their conversion optimization?

A) Set the free trial signup as the primary conversion event and optimize the campaign for this in-app action
B) Optimize only for installs and hope trial signups follow naturally
C) Use cost-per-impression bidding to maximize visibility
D) Track only app opens as the conversion event

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Optimizing for the specific in-app action (trial signup) targets users most likely to convert. Install-only optimization does not prioritize trial signups. CPM bidding focuses on impressions, not actions. App opens are a weaker signal than actual trial signups.

An app developer notices their cost per install is significantly higher on iOS than Android.

What factors should they consider when evaluating this difference?

A) iOS typically has higher CPIs due to privacy restrictions (ATT/SKAdNetwork), different user behavior, and smaller but often higher-value user base
B) iOS CPIs should always be identical to Android CPIs
C) The higher iOS CPI means iOS campaigns should be paused immediately
D) Only ad creative quality affects CPI differences between platforms

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
iOS privacy frameworks, user demographics, and market dynamics naturally create CPI differences. CPIs are rarely identical across platforms. Higher CPI does not mean lower ROI if iOS users spend more in-app. Multiple factors beyond creative affect platform CPI differences.

A food delivery app wants to increase orders during lunch and dinner hours specifically.

Which App campaign setting helps target users during peak meal times?

A) Ad scheduling to show ads more aggressively during lunch and dinner hours combined with bid adjustments for peak times
B) Running ads only between midnight and 6 AM for lower CPCs
C) Pausing campaigns entirely during non-meal hours
D) A Display campaign with app screenshots

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Ad scheduling with bid adjustments increases visibility during high-conversion periods. Midnight-to-6AM targeting misses peak meal times. Fully pausing during non-meal hours may miss snack-time opportunities. Year-old search behavior is too stale for current intent.

An e-commerce app’s campaign is in the ‘Learning’ phase after launch and showing inconsistent results.

What should the advertiser do during the learning phase?

A) Allow the campaign to accumulate sufficient conversion data before making significant changes, typically waiting for at least 100 conversions
B) Make daily budget and bid changes to speed up learning
C) Pause and restart the campaign repeatedly
D) Switch to a completely different campaign type immediately

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Optimizing for in-app actions targets users likely to make purchases, not just install. Volume-only optimization may attract users who never make purchases. Search campaigns are not the primary driver for app installs. Display campaigns alone lack app-specific optimization.

A gaming app wants to showcase gameplay footage in their App campaign to attract users who will enjoy the game.

What video creative best practices should they follow?

A) Show actual gameplay in the first few seconds, highlight key features, include a clear call to action, and provide videos in multiple aspect ratios (portrait, landscape, square)
B) Use a static logo screen for the entire video duration
C) Create only one landscape video with no gameplay footage
D) Make all videos longer than 2 minutes for detailed walkthroughs

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Immediate gameplay footage, key features, clear CTA, and multiple formats maximize engagement across placements. Static logos lack engagement. Single format misses placement opportunities. Long videos lose viewer attention in ad contexts.

An app developer wants to understand which creative assets in their App campaign are performing best and which need improvement.

Where can they find creative asset performance data?

A) The Asset Report in Google Ads showing performance ratings (Best, Good, Low) for each creative asset with relative performance metrics
B) Google Analytics website reports
C) App Store Connect analytics without Google Ads data
D) Google Merchant Center product performance reports

 

Correct answers: A – Explanation:
The Asset Report rates individual creative elements by performance, guiding optimization. Analytics tracks website data. App Store analytics lack Ads-specific performance. Merchant Center is for Shopping, not App campaigns.
