When the goal changed from installs to intent, the numbers that mattered started moving.

Challenge

Destnly was getting app installs, but most users never registered or became active. Install volume looked good on the dashboard while real users stayed flat.

Approach

  1. 1.Reset the goal from installs to completed registrations and active users.
  2. 2.Rebuilt audience targeting around city, age and intent signals.
  3. 3.Tested 40+ creatives to find messages that attracted serious users, not curious clickers.
  4. 4.Fixed the post-install journey so more users finished registering.
