Here's What Our Clients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions About Branch
What is Branch and how does it benefit my mobile app?
Branch is a mobile linking platform that provides deep linking, attribution, and analytics capabilities. It benefits your app by enabling seamless user experiences across platforms, accurate measurement of marketing campaigns, improved user acquisition through contextual deep linking, and better understanding of user journeys. With Branch, you can direct users to specific in-app content from any marketing channel, track where your users are coming from, and optimize conversion paths.
How does deep linking work and why is it important?
Deep linking allows you to send users directly to specific content within your app rather than just opening the app's home screen. This creates a seamless user experience by maintaining context as users move between channels. Branch handles the complexities of deep linking across platforms (iOS and Android) and accounts for edge cases like new users who haven't installed the app yet (deferred deep linking). This technology is important because it significantly improves conversion rates, user engagement, and retention by reducing friction in the user journey.
What's the difference between universal links, app links, and custom URL schemes?
These are different mechanisms for deep linking on mobile platforms. Universal links (iOS) and App Links (Android) are platform-specific methods that use standard web URLs to open content in your app when installed, or fall back to a web browser when not. They provide a more secure and seamless experience than custom URL schemes, which are app-specific protocols (like myapp://) that can only open your app if installed. Branch manages all these linking types automatically, providing a unified solution that works across platforms while handling all edge cases.
How long does it take to implement Branch with MetaCTO?
A basic Branch implementation can be completed in 1-2 weeks, depending on your app's complexity and the features required. This includes SDK integration, basic deep linking setup, and initial attribution configuration. More comprehensive implementations with advanced features like custom domains, partner integrations, and specialized tracking may take 3-4 weeks. If you're building a new app with MetaCTO, Branch integration is incorporated into the overall development timeline.
Can Branch help with App Store Optimization (ASO) and app discoverability?
Yes, Branch enhances app discoverability through several mechanisms. Its integration with Firebase App Indexing allows your app content to appear in Google search results. Branch's web-to-app journeys help convert web visitors to app users. Additionally, by improving user experience through deep linking, Branch can positively impact app ratings and reviews, which are crucial factors in App Store rankings. MetaCTO can implement these features and advise on broader ASO strategies that complement your Branch implementation.
How does Branch's attribution work with other analytics platforms?
Branch's attribution system integrates with most major analytics platforms including Firebase, Amplitude, Mixpanel, and others. This allows you to combine Branch's attribution data (where users are coming from) with behavioral data from these platforms (what users do in your app). MetaCTO can implement these integrations to create a comprehensive analytics ecosystem, setting up data flows that provide complete visibility into your user acquisition funnel and in-app behavior.
How does Branch help with fraud prevention in mobile attribution?
Branch incorporates multiple layers of fraud prevention in its attribution system to protect against common mobile ad fraud tactics like click injection, click spamming, and device spoofing. It uses techniques such as probabilistic matching, time-to-install analysis, and device fingerprinting to identify suspicious activity. MetaCTO can configure these fraud prevention settings based on your specific needs and help you monitor for potential fraud issues in your acquisition channels.
Can Branch help with creating a referral program for my app?
Yes, Branch provides robust tools for implementing referral programs within mobile apps. Its platform includes features for generating unique referral links, tracking referrals across platforms, attributing new users to referrers, and managing reward distribution. MetaCTO can implement a complete referral system using Branch, including designing the referral flow, setting up tracking parameters, creating the reward mechanism, and integrating with your backend systems for validation and fulfillment.
