Frequently Asked Questions About CPI Networks

Common questions about CPI network campaigns and quality install delivery.

What is a CPI network and how does it work?
A CPI network connects app advertisers with affiliate and third-party traffic partners. Those partners promote the app, and the advertiser pays for attributed installs under the campaign terms agreed before launch.
What traffic formats are available?
Available formats can include pop-under, banner, notification, interstitial, and native ads. The practical mix depends on the app, audience, market, creative, and current partner inventory.
What countries and markets do you cover?
Market availability depends on current affiliate and third-party partner inventory. Send the target countries and operating systems and we will confirm available traffic, formats, expected volume, and pricing for the brief.
How do you check for invalid traffic?
We use internal invalid-traffic checks and review source patterns. Campaigns can be tracked in a compatible MMP such as AppsFlyer, Adjust, or Branch, or through the relevant store reporting. Measurement and billable-event rules are agreed before launch.
Do CPI campaigns guarantee higher ASO rankings?
No. Paid installs can support a user-acquisition objective, but they do not guarantee category or keyword rank changes. Store conversion, product quality, retention, reviews, competition, and platform systems also influence visibility.
Do you guarantee retention quality for CPI installs?
No universal retention guarantee applies. We can agree campaign-specific post-install events and review them in a compatible MMP or store data. Expected outcomes depend on the app, audience, creative, market, and source.
What is the minimum campaign size?
Budget and minimum volume are quoted for the specific app, operating system, market, format, and objective. There is no separate fee for access to the traffic partners.
How quickly can you deliver installs?
Timing and daily volume depend on targeting, creative readiness, partner inventory, and campaign review. We confirm a delivery plan for the individual brief rather than promising the same timeline for every app.
What app categories can you support?
Feasibility depends on the app category, store status, target audience, creative, and partner policies. Share the app and target market so we can check suitable inventory.
How do CPI campaigns integrate with ASO and paid UA?
Use ASO to improve the clarity and conversion of the store listing, then evaluate CPI and other acquisition channels through attributed installs and meaningful post-install events. Compare source-level outcomes before changing spend.
