Performance advertising

Mobile CPA, CPI and CPL advertising

A mobile offer that leads to an install, registration or other defined action. Measure a business outcome rather than a click alone.

IN PRACTICE

A simple example.

An app promotion links a user to the store. An approved conversion event is reported back through the agreed integration.

Plain-language definition

What is mobile performance advertising?

Mobile performance advertising pays for a defined outcome rather than exposure alone. The ad can use several creative formats; what defines the model is the validated event—an action, installation, lead, sale or deployment-specific conversion.

Measurement

Metrics that explain more than volume.

Use these metrics to evaluate the format. They are not a promise that every Nexus integration supplies every metric: player, publisher, analytics or conversion reporting may be needed.

Conversion rate

Validated outcomes ÷ eligible clicks

CPA

Spend ÷ validated actions

Install rate

Validated installs ÷ clicks

ROAS

Attributed value ÷ spend

Operator guide

What clients should understand before launch.

01

What the user sees

The creative may be a banner, native card, search result or video. It directs the user to an application store, form, purchase flow or other destination tied to a defined outcome.

02

How the outcome is validated

The configured advertiser or measurement integration reports a conversion with identifiers that connect it to the original click. Confirm the event, identifier and postback contract before launch.

03

How caps protect campaigns

Click and conversion caps by day, month, offer or partner help control budget and prevent one source from consuming an allocation before quality is understood.

04

What operators reconcile

Click records, sub-ID context, duplicate policy, attribution windows, advertiser approvals, partner payouts and reversals must lead to one defensible outcome count.

Frequently asked

Questions about mobile performance.

Strictly, CPA is a pricing and optimization model. It can use search, display, native or video creatives, but clients often evaluate it as a distinct performance channel.
