According to recent studies by Google, 83% of U.S. retailers agree that app customers make more purchases compared to non-app customers. Moreover, 73% of consumers prioritize a great app experience, with 62% citing convenience as the primary reason for preferring apps over websites.
These figures support our own studies and research, but the headline statistic from the Google shopping study, and the one that will resonate most with any serious ecommerce business, was that apps deliver, on average, two times higher conversion rates for ad clicks* landing in your app compared to your mobile website. This underscores the importance of integrating a robust web-to-app interface within your business strategy.
At Apparati, our hybrid mobile apps are designed with deep linking capabilities to optimize user experience and amplify the performance of Google Shopping campaigns. By leveraging App Links for Android and Universal Links for iOS, we enable seamless web-to-app transitions, ensuring users land on the most relevant app pages—a strategy proven to double conversion rates compared to mobile websites.
Deep linking is the ability to direct users to specific, relevant pages within your mobile app instead of generic landing pages on your website. This functionality is especially powerful for eCommerce businesses running Google Shopping campaigns, as it:
Enhances User Experience: Mobile users with your app installed are seamlessly guided to specific app pages, offering a faster and more personalized experience.
Increases Conversion Rates: Google’s global data
indicates that ad clicks landing in apps deliver two times higher conversion rates compared to mobile websites.
Improves Campaign Performance: By leveraging deep links and in-app conversion tracking, businesses can fine-tune their ad strategies using tools like Smart Bidding to optimize for maximum conversions and conversion value.
Seamless Web-to-App Integration Apparati’s hybrid apps are built with deep linking features that bridge the gap between your mobile website and app. For users with your app installed, deep links ensure they’re directed to the most relevant pages, whether it’s a product page, checkout screen, or promotional offer.
Optimized Conversion Tracking Using our integration with Google’s tools, Apparati’s apps allow you to track key in-app user actions, such as purchases, sign-ups, and subscriptions. These insights empower businesses to identify and focus on high-value actions, ensuring that your marketing budget is spent effectively.
Enhanced Campaign Optimization with Smart Bidding By selecting in-app conversions as your primary optimization goal, Apparati helps you unlock the full potential of Smart Bidding. This Google feature uses machine learning to automatically adjust bids, driving better outcomes for your business goals—whether it’s maximizing purchases, revenue, or other key performance indicators.
Improved User Retention Deep links enhance the overall app experience by leveraging native app features like saved user information and push notifications. These capabilities not only simplify navigation and transactions for users but also keep them engaged, boosting long-term retention rates.
Continued Web Support for Non-App Users For users who haven’t installed your app, Apparati’s hybrid apps ensure a smooth fallback to your mobile website. This guarantees a consistent and functional experience, regardless of the user’s platform preferences.
App Links and Universal Links: Our hybrid apps leverage these technologies to ensure reliable deep linking functionality across Android and iOS platforms. This provides a frictionless transition from web to app, enhancing user satisfaction.

Simplified Maintenance: With a single codebase, our hybrid apps streamline updates, including adjustments to deep links and conversion tracking, ensuring that your app evolves with your business needs.
Google Shopping Campaign Optimization Imagine a user clicking on a Google Shopping ad for a specific product. If they have your app installed, deep linking ensures they’re directed to the product’s page within the app, complete with their saved preferences and streamlined checkout options. For non-app users, they’re guided to the product page on your mobile website instead, ensuring no interruption in the shopping experience.
Reengaging Dormant Users Using push notifications with deep links, Apparati’s apps can reengage users by directing them to promotional offers, abandoned cart items, or new product launches within the app. This strategy not only boosts conversions but also strengthens customer loyalty.
Event-Specific Campaigns Running a seasonal sale? Deep links can take users directly to the sale section in your app, minimizing clicks and maximizing the chances of conversion. With Apparati’s analytics integration, you can measure the success of these campaigns in real-time.
As mobile commerce continues to dominate the eCommerce landscape, providing an exceptional app experience is no longer optional.
