Apple Ads (Search Ads)
Apple Ads (Search Ads) is Apple's advertising platform for placing apps at the top of App Store search results and in other App Store placements. Beyond paid acquisition, it's a key data source: it shows keyword popularity and lets you see which terms convert. Paid and organic interact, since paid installs from search can support organic rank, so measure them together.
