- Abandoned sign-ups: Show ads focused on character creation and customization options, emphasizing how they can personalize their experience further.
#4 Optimize for Mobile: Ensure all ads and landing pages are optimized for Mobile since many users will engage via their smartphones.
#5 Run A/B testing campaigns: Regularly test various ad creatives, copy, and CTAs to discover what resonates best with your audience. For a smoother user experience and higher conversions, maintain consistency by featuring the same AI Dating model across both creatives and landing pages. This approach enhances engagement, and drives conversions.
