ASA Conversion Rate Benchmark Calculator
Enter your Apple Search Ads tap-through rate and conversion rate to see how you compare against App Store category benchmarks.
Positive scores mean you outperform the benchmark. Zero is at benchmark. Negative means room to improve. Typical good TTR is 5-12% and conversion is 30-55% for Apple Search Ads.
What this tool does
The ASA Conversion Rate Benchmark Calculator lets you compare your Apple Search Ads tap-through rate and install conversion rate against category benchmarks. It produces a composite score showing whether your campaigns outperform, match, or trail the typical App Store category baseline.
How to use it
- Your Tap-Through Rate (%): The percentage of impressions that result in a tap. Find this in your Apple Search Ads campaign dashboard under the campaign or ad group level.
- Your Conversion Rate (%): The percentage of taps that result in an install. This is the install rate, not the TTR.
- Category Benchmark TTR (%): The average TTR for your App Store category. Use the reference table below.
- Category Benchmark Conversion (%): The average install rate for your category.
App Store category benchmarks (approximate)
| Category | Typical TTR | Typical Conversion Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Business | 6-10% | 35-50% |
| Finance | 5-9% | 30-45% |
| Productivity | 7-12% | 40-55% |
| Health & Fitness | 5-8% | 25-40% |
| Games | 4-7% | 20-35% |
| Utilities | 6-10% | 35-50% |
| Social Networking | 5-9% | 25-40% |
| Photo & Video | 6-10% | 35-50% |
These ranges are directional. Actual performance depends on keyword specificity, screenshot quality, rating visibility, and bid strategy.
Why it matters
A low TTR usually means your screenshot hierarchy or subtitle is not compelling for the keyword you are bidding on. A low conversion rate after a tap typically signals a mismatch between the ad impression and the product page experience. Both are fixable without spending more.
Common fixes: reorder screenshots to lead with the feature the keyword implies, update the subtitle to include the keyword phrase, improve the first three reviews visible on the page, and narrow keyword match types to reduce irrelevant impressions.
How to use the result
A positive score means you are beating the benchmark. A negative score highlights whether TTR or conversion is the bottleneck. If TTR is the problem, focus on creative and keyword alignment. If conversion is the problem, focus on the product page. Track this metric weekly after making changes. Use alongside the ASA budget split calculator and cost per install calculator to connect conversion performance to actual spend efficiency.
