#236: Web-first growth: the new playbook for app UA with Gessica Bicego, Marketing & Growth Consultant
If there is one feature that helps app marketers to persevere through so much of a market change, it is adaptability. As app user acquisition costs were rising and privacy constraints in mobile emerged, marketers came up with the solution - web to app user acquisition channel. Rather than sending users directly to an app store, marketers now route users to a mobile web page first—typically one optimized for onboarding, education, or even a light product experience. This allows for better control over messaging, tracking, and personalization before nudging users to install the app. In this episode, we’ll delve into the concept of web-first growth with Gessica, exploring the new playbook for acquiring app users.

Like either you send them to a landing page, but ultimately they convert on an app store - so all the call-to-action will lead to the App Store, or Google Play store. Or you guide them through a web funnel, where you have like lots of questions and you end up purchasing on the web." Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012
