What do you do when your revenues fall off a cliff? Today, we get to the bottom of things - and point to a way out.

I'm joined by Sharath Kowligi, Director of Ad Monetization at GameHouse and advisor to RocketShip HQ. This deep dive is based on a discussion that Sharath and I had with the founder of an app sometime ago(we're keeping the app's identity anonymous - although the learnings and takeaways from this discussion are widely applicable).

In this deep dive, we will discuss some of the specific factors at play that caused this app's revenue to drop 75%, and what we see as the ways forward to help them recover ground. While it's easy to think organics are hard to impact, this is a masterclass in how they can be moved and impacted, especially when they are central to an app's financial future.

Key Highlights:

😵 The immediate issue with refunds that the app was facing.

🤷‍♂️ What happens when an app’s rating goes below 4.

🤑 Why paid advertising isn’t always the answer if organics drop on account of ratings.

🤭 What Google’s bad behavior thresholds are.

🔢 What metrics Sharath recommends looking at to diagnose organic drops.

📋 Benchmark organic to paid ratios for Android and iOS.

😲 How Apple perceives ‘bad behavior’ metrics as compared to Google.

🔓 Oftentimes just playing by Google’s rules unlocks a ton of organic traffic.
