Apocalypse Soon: What happens when the iOS advertising ID is deprecated?

It’s rare for me to speak with a mobile advertiser that doesn’t view the deprecation of the IDFA — Apple’s proprietary advertising identifier for iOS devices — as a certainty, if not an imminent one. While the deprecation of the IDFA has been a possibility for years, and rumors of the identifier’s demise reliably circulate before every WWDC, a few recent developments support the notion that 2020 might usher in the end of an advertising ID for iOS devices:

In its most recent earnings call, Facebook’s CFO cryptically made reference to upcoming changes by mobile platform operators that will introduce friction into the process of mobile advertising measurement;

Facebook has also made some other changes that tangentially could relate to a potential end of the IDFA: it announced that it will no longer operate its Audience Network on the mobile web, and that it has modified its MMP program to disallow the sharing of view-through attribution data at the user level (see a note from Adjust below). Again, while neither of these issues directly relates to mobile advertising tracking or the relevance of an IDFA, they do both support a more privacy-centric posturing by Facebook that was perhaps taken to appease Apple;

Apple updated its iOS developer guidelines after last year’s WWDC developer event to bar apps in the Kids category from using third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. This was interpreted by many as a dry-run for full IDFA deprecation;

Google announced that it will phase out 3rd-party cookies from the Chrome browser within two years. Although Apple already does this with its Safari browser on mobile by default, Chrome has a much larger marketshare, and so this is a bigger development. While it is popular wisdom that the deprecation of the IDFA by Apple would likely instigate Google to deprecate the Android-equivalent GAID, given Chrome’s reach, it could be that Apple decides to one-up Google on the basis of privacy by reacting with the IDFA deprecation;

Apple introduced Sign in with Apple at WWDC 2019 as a means of allowing users to tie app- and website-specific authentication to their Apple IDs, meaning that Apple could ultimately be the route between devices and third-party platform IDs.

Of course, all of these development could merely be coincidental to a decision by Apple to deprecate the IDFA; Tim Cook seems zealously protective of user privacy, and the large mobile platforms generally appear to be eager to stave off invasive regulation in the wake of public furor over privacy incidents such as with Cambridge Analytica, etc.

And obviously, IDFA deprecation may not actually be on the immediate horizon, and it may not happen at all. But it’s interesting to consider what happens to the mobile advertising industry if it does, given the incredibly prominent role that the IDFA plays in even the most sophisticated advertisers’ attribution models for iOS. To that end, I present: a speculative, assumption-dependent vision of the first few months after the deprecation of the IDFA.

June 2020

Apple’s annual WWDC developer conference reveals a slew of new features coming to iOS 14 later in the year. Cryptically, Apple’s Vice President of Engineering, Craig Federighi, reveals that Apple has implemented a “simplified system profile” on iOS that limits the surface area of device information that can be collected by an app. The “simplified system profile” was first introduced to Safari in macOS Mojave in 2018 to stop devices from being fingerprinted by advertising networks. Marketing blogs and MarTech Twitter alight with speculation about the implications of this change.

Following the keynote, the first beta of iOS 14 is released to registered developers, and an important update to the documentation for the advertisingIdentifier property, which stores the user’s IDFA, is discovered (bolded text is new):

Important In iOS 10.0 and later, the value of advertisingIdentifier is all zeroes when the user has limited ad tracking. In iOS 14.0 and later, limit ad tracking is enabled by default.

Tech commentators immediately seize upon this revelation and declare that default IDFA zeroing will effectuate the end of direct response mobile advertising. Assuming that the iOS 14 adoption timeline resembles that of iOS 13, it is estimated that 50% of iOS devices will have limit ad tracking (LAT) enabled within a month of iOS 14’s release in September, and nearly all iOS devices will have limit ad tracking enabled by September 2021.

The mobile advertising technology ecosystem enters a state of panic, organizing war room meetings to come up with strategies for handling the monumental change coming to their industry in September, just three months away. Ad tech suppliers wonder if any additional device-level properties can be added to their models to improve the precision of fingerprinting, which, under the new “simplified system profile,” will only be reliable for a few minutes after an install. But most recognize that Apple is committed to removing or obfuscating these unique device signatures, such as when it added noise to device sensor data in iOS 12.2 as per the recommendations of this research paper. The changes implemented to iOS 14 are interpreted to be grievously dangerous by mobile ad tech vendors.

Privacy advocates very vocally champion both the mobile simplified system profile and the new default limit ad tracking setting.

July 2020

Facebook announces that it will stop sending user-level data to its attribution partners for both iOS and Android, across all campaign objectives, by September. The move is unexpected and widely interpreted as being a concession to Apple in order to continue attributing users with its own proprietary data collected from its SDK. Google, Twitter, Snap, and Pinterest all announce very similar policy changes just a few days after Facebook.

These announcement stun the mobile advertising industry: if Facebook, Google, et al no longer relay user-level data to measurement partners, then install and event-based campaign types like Facebook’s AEO and VO and Google’s UAC can only be assessed for ROAS via aggregated, campaign-level data from the platforms themselves.

Mobile advertisers become anxious: what does this mean for measurement? And how will non-Self Attributing Network (SAN) sources of traffic be evaluated? App advertisers are unable to glean much helpful information from MMP partners, Apple, or their account representatives at various networks.

August 2020

Apple announces the first set of members of its new Certified Mobile Advertising Partners program: advertising platforms that are registered to attribute installs via the SDKAdNetwork API that Apple introduced in iOS 11. The list of partners includes most of the largest and most prominent providers of mobile traffic.

At this point, advertisers begin to get a clearer picture of the future of mobile measurement and the severity of the changes being instituted. If attribution is handled directly from iTunes and doesn’t include user device identifiers, then the impending new reality of advertising dictates:

ROAS and CPE campaigns will only be possible via the SANs that are able to do any form of fingerprinting via their proprietary SDK data and the revenue data they collect;

Cost Per Install values for campaigns from the networks in Apple’s Ad Partners program are calculable, but building effective ROAS models for these campaigns will be difficult, if not impossible. Without being able to attribute revenue to campaigns (because all IDFAs are zeroed, and SKAdNetwork transmits no identifiable user information), the traffic sources of monetizing users are unknowable;

Most of the infrastructure currently supporting mobile advertising will soon become obsolete.

Advertisers scramble to assemble data science teams to build Media Mix Models from their existing data and to validate their current ROAS models. Shifting from deterministic measurement to probabilistic measurement will take time; in the interim, their ROAS models can be used to provide credible assumptions around what various traffic is worth. Advertisers also begin attempting to re-negotiate their contracts with technology and data partners, recognizing that many of these partners won’t be needed in their new measurement paradigms.

Google announces that it will also turn on “Opt out of Ads Personalization” by default in the next Android release.

September 2020

iOS 14 is released to the general public. Almost immediately, CPMs on mobile plummet as advertisers reduce media spend across the board. Some apps see their advertising revenues drop by half; apps that rely exclusively on advertising for user acquisition experience shrinking DAU levels. Advertisers concentrate media spend across Apple Search Ads, Facebook, and Google while conservatively layering in traffic from other sources as measured through attributed installs from iTunes (via SKAdNetwork) in a media mix model. Many advertisers note that their Facebook install volumes have decreased relative to levels from before iOS 14, recognizing that fingerprinting may have previously over-attributed LAT installs to Facebook.

December 2020

By the end of the year, most advertisers have adjusted to the new ecosystem reality, although overall mobile advertising spend is about 10% lower than it had been one year prior. Since iOS 14 was launched, a major ad network acquired an attribution provider and is using its data to develop a media mix model service. Because of the added complexity of tracking and measuring the effectiveness of media spend, a large proportion of smaller advertisers are now only advertising on either Facebook or Google and Apple Search Ads; larger advertisers have built their own infrastructure to aggregate campaign-level install data and integrate it into their media mix model.

Consumer sentiment around Apple’s privacy changes to iOS 14 was overwhelmingly positive in June, but the fanfare waned over time and those changes are rarely cited or referenced going into the new year.

Everything You Need to Know About Marketing Your Business With Google Maps

Did you know that Google Maps has over 154.4 million monthly users? That’s over six times the amount of their nearest competitor Waze. So why is Google able to dominate the competition when it comes to their virtual map service?

Part of the reason is that Google Maps is tied to the company’s massively popular search engine. While this isn’t good for rival map services, it does present a unique marketing opportunity for both national and local business owners.

Google Maps marketing allows companies the opportunity to reach a clientele already actively seeking their service.

If you’re interested in how Google Maps can help improve sales for your business, then you came to the right place. In this article, we’ll discuss everything you need to know about promoting your business through Google Maps’ ranking system. Let’s get started!

What Is Google Maps Marketing?

Google Maps marketing is the use of SEO and other strategies to optimize the way your business shows up on the search application. When you search ‘restaurants near me’ on Google, what is the first thing that comes up?

Typically, the search engine will show a map of your location with several selections that match your criteria. Underneath this map is a list of the most popular results, including their hours of operation, address, phone number and website information.

While you might not realize it, this search engine map platform represents a huge opportunity for increasing your brand visibility. However, whether or not any customers notice you depends mainly on where you rank in the search results.

We’ll take a look at why it’s important to rank as high as you can on the search list later. First, let’s explore how Google determines the rank of businesses on Google Maps.

How Does Google Maps Determine The Rankings For Local Businesses?

According to Google’s official help page for GMB inquiries, the company uses three factors to determine rank order: prominence, relevance, and distance.

Prominence refers to how well known the business is to local people without the help of the internet. This can include everything from famous museums and hotels, to popular brands like Outback Steakhouse and McDonald’s.

Google calculates the prominence of a business by determining the amount of information available on the web in the form of articles, links and directory listings. Positive reviews from customers also play heavily into prominence.

Relevance, on the other hand, deals with how well local listings match with someone’s search results. You can increase the likely relevance of your business by adding detailed information to your Google My Business profile.

Finally, distance calculates how far away the business is from the user searching it. If you don’t have the location of your business listed, then Google will provide a rough estimate.

Why Is It Important For Your Business To Rank High In Google Maps?

You may be asking yourself, “Why should I focus on Google? There are other search engines out there”. That may be true, but the reality is that the search engine company practically dominates the competition.

Since Google controls 92.33% of the search engine market, it simply makes the most sense for companies to focus their attention on the web service. Otherwise, you would be missing a lot of potential customers.

Google also offers tools that the other companies don’t provide, like detailed SEO information, GMB tracking data and locally targeted ads. The top three companies that show up in a search also have a much better chance of being targeted by a customer.

One study found that 76% of people who perform a ‘nearby me’ search visit a business within twenty-four hours.

As you can see, a well-maintained and promoted Google Maps marketing campaign is like a light for moths – it attracts them to you, instead of the other way around. So, now that we know the importance of Google Maps for local businesses, let’s find out how one goes about getting on the platform.

How Do I Get My Business On Google Maps?

The first thing you need to do to get your business on Google Maps is to visit the ‘Google My Business’ service.

You can find it by clicking this link here. Follow the instructions on the site and fill in the information to the best of your ability. Here is some of the information they typically ask for:

Name of company – You can also enter a nickname if it helps your customers find you

Business category – Google offers both primary and additional categories for keyword impression

Hours and special schedules – Make sure you be as accurate as possible with your hours, including holiday schedules

Business phone number – Keep in mind Google doesn’t accept 1800 or 877 numbers for spam reasons

Website and relevant links – If your business is appointment-based, then include a link to schedule online

Any products and services you offer – This section allows you to provide some written explanation on the categories you listed earlier.

Highlights – Include anything that might distinguish your business from the competition (things like ‘Free Wifi’ or ‘Family-Friendly)

Description of your business – Include keywords and your brand statement in the 750-word limit

Photos – Put some pictures of the interior and exterior of your business

Also, and make sure that there are no duplicate sites or services already in existence. Sometimes factors like a location or brand change can cause two versions of the same business to appear.

This can make your company look less credible to potential customers, so if you notice it, fix it quickly.

How To Improve Your Businesses Rankings On Google Maps

Many new users think that popular SEO keywords are their key to bumping up to the top of the search list.

While these are a vital component, the reality is that there are a variety of factors you need to consider if you want to improve your ranking. Here are four of the most important things that you need to pay attention to.

1) Positive Reviews

We can not overstate the importance of positive reviews when it comes to optimizing your marketing presence on Google Maps.

These types of reviews provide social proof for other customers who may be skeptical about trying a new business or service. As much as we hate to admit it, people judge a book by its cover when it comes to internet reviews.

A two-star rating or lower will detract a lot of customers who otherwise might be willing to give your service a shot. If you want to increase the number of reviews for your business, we recommend letting it happen organically instead of naturally.

For example, you might try making it easier for customers to leave a review by sending newsletters, follow-up emails, and business cards with a link to the review site.

We find that these methods are a lot more effective than trying to solicit positive reviews from customers.

But what about bad reviews?

Unfortunately, people on the internet love to complain – even when they aren’t always right. As such, we recommend taking the negative review calmly and responding to it.

Apologize even if it wasn’t your fault and see if you can reach out to the individual to make it right. If you can’t, then focus on accumulating more positive reviews to outweigh the bad ones.

2) Collaborate With Nearby Businesses For Local Links

Local links are incredibly important if you want to rank high on Google Maps. So how do you go about building your local links? One way is by collaborating with other local businesses. You can do this through things known as guest posts.

Guest posts allow you to link other businesses in your articles, and vice versa. For example, if you’re a landscaping company, then you might write an article about how a well-maintained lawn can increase your home value.

This subject likely appeals to anyone in the home improvement or real estate market. So, you can reach out to local realtors and see if they want to swap local links.

This means that you include a link to their services in your articles, and they include a link to yours.

This type of situation is a win-win for both parties because it provides both parties with local links and new clientele. Start with companies you know and trust first, before moving on to cold calls.

3) Create Online Content People Want

The act of creating online content that catches people’s attention is a talent that takes a long time to develop. However, you can learn it by paying attention to what people search for. Think of the kind of things that you search on Google.

If you’re like other people, then you’re probably exploring FAQs, news articles and buying guides. People want to be honest and straightforward about the subjects they’re researching.

So apply this to your business model. For example, if you’re an air conditioning company, then make some blog articles about common problems that occur with AC units.

This will increase the traffic to your website and makes you seem like a knowledgeable authority on the subject. Another secret to making articles people want to read is a title that gets their attention.

The key is to incorporate popular SEO keywords while still making it snappy and engaging. How do you do this? Simple: check out our guide that walks you through everything you need to know”

4) Include Your Business Citations In Directories — Both In-Person and Online

Many of us associate citations with the dreaded research paper from high school and college. But, for businesses they usually refer to important contact information – things like your name, address, phone number, zip code, and website information.

Citations for business can be found all across the internet, both in-person and online. In-person directories like the Yellowpages offer a resource for people who prefer physical copies.

However, online directories like Yelp and Moz Local have also started aggregation citations. This is good for local businesses because the more citations contained in your portfolio, the more likely someone is to find you.

If you can try and focus on quality over quantity when it comes to your business. Someone is more likely to trust a relevant or well-known directory, then one they’ve never heard of before.

Should You Attempt SEO Marketing By Yourself, Or Get Professional Help?

Most newcomers to SEO marketing think they can handle an entire campaign by themselves – either in their off time or on company time. The reality is that a coordinated strategy requires time, knowledge and talent.

So unless you have weeks on free time for writing, researching and promoting, then the result will probably be poor. And if you believe it’s better to have some SEO articles compared to none, then think again.

Poor SEO can harm your business. If Google finds out that you’re flagrantly using keywords with no actual substance, then it will flag you for spam. This means that your business will no longer appear on any search results.

If you’re still not convinced that you should hire a professional, then check out all ten reasons why you should consider an SEO specialist over yourself.
