How To Select Your Mobile Measurement Company

When selecting an MMP, consider factors such as compatibility with your tech stack, ad platform integrations, ability to measure last-touch and previous attributions, integration with reporting suites, SKadnetwork reporting abilities, ability to track the web-to-app journey, and tech and implementation support levels.

• When selecting an MMP, consider the following questions:
  • Compatibility with your existing tech stack and whether the MMP integrates with your Customer Data Platform (CDP) to save time on development.
  • Ad platform and owned channel integrations to measure and de-dupe conversions across multiple channels.
  • Ability to measure last-touch and previous attributions to see which channel had an upper-funnel influence on the conversion.
  • Ability to integrate with reporting suites to report back to stakeholders without requiring custom data connectors.
  • SKadnetwork reporting abilities to identify the source of conversion, combine actual identified conversions, and push conversions back to ad platforms.
  • Ability to track the web-to-app journey to effectively attribute users who come from an external source and land on the website, download the app, and make a purchase.
  • Tech and implementation support levels to ensure everything works correctly from the start.
