This document discusses strategies for improving mobile marketing performance. It notes that advertisers are 2x less likely to show on mobile searches than desktop, so they should boost ad rank to improve visibility. It also advises promoting phone calls directly from search results since calls convert at higher rates than clicks. Additionally, it recommends updating mobile landing pages since mobile phones are now more powerful and screens larger, as outdated pages negatively impact conversion rates. The key is optimizing the overall mobile experience through improved ad rank, call promotions, and landing page design.

Enable App Extensions
Redirect traffic to your app, rather than your mobile
landing page:

• Apps are huge! Time spent in mobile apps surpassed time
on desktops in 2014
