## Why coordination matters

ASO and paid UA share infrastructure (store listing), data (conversion rates), and creative. Coordinated programs lift overall acquisition efficiency 20–40% vs siloed programs.

## The feedback loop

- Paid UA tests keyword conversion that ASO uses for prioritization.
- ASO improvements lift paid UA conversion rate.
- Paid UA creative learnings inform store creative.
- Store creative tested impacts paid UA performance.
- Shared measurement essential.

## CPP for paid UA

- Different CPPs for different paid UA sources.
- Source-specific messaging matches source-specific intent.
- Apple Search Ads, Meta App Install, TikTok App Install each can have tailored CPP.
- Track CPP performance per source.

## Creative learning sharing

- Winning paid UA hooks tested in store screenshots.
- Winning store screenshots tested in paid UA.
- Creative library tagged with performance.
- Cross-team review cadence.
- Brand consistency maintained.

## Keyword overlap

- ASA keyword performance informs ASO keyword prioritization.
- ASO-strong keywords get less paid pressure.
- Gaps identified for paid coverage.
- Branded protection in both ASO and ASA.

## Combined measurement

- Organic vs paid install volume.
- ASO halo effect on paid conversion rate.
- Cohort LTV by source (organic vs paid).
- Cannibalization analysis.
- iROAS for paid UA factoring in organic baseline.

## Budget orchestration

- Organic foundation reduces required paid spend.
- Paid pushes scale beyond organic.
- Saturation analysis informs paid scaling.
- Quarterly mix review.

## Advanced playbook

- Coordinated weekly ASO + paid UA review.
- CPP per paid source.
- Creative library shared across teams.
- Keyword strategy joint.
- Measurement dashboards combined.
- Cannibalization tests quarterly.
- Annual coordination strategy review.
- iROAS calibration via incrementality tests.
- Cross-team performance reviews.
- Brand consistency reviewed jointly.

## Common mistakes

- ASO and paid UA siloed.
- CPP not used (Apple).
- Creative learnings not shared.
- Keyword strategy disconnected.
- Measurement separate.
- Cannibalization not analyzed.
- Budget allocated without coordination.
- Brand consistency broken.
- Cross-team reviews skipped.
- Annual review absent.

## Operating checklist

- Weekly ASO + paid UA review
- CPP per paid source (Apple)
- Shared creative library
- Joint keyword strategy
- Combined measurement dashboards
- Quarterly cannibalization analysis
