Published results
Each figure comes from a published Admiral case study. They are client results, not a forecast for your app.
Reporting and data
Clients see the spend, the attribution and the reasoning behind every decision, in accounts they own.
Your ad accounts, data, creative files and test log stay yours. Media spend goes to Meta, TikTok, Google or Apple directly, and our management fee is separate. For ASO and CRO you add us with the role you choose; we never ask for passwords. At handover you keep client admin access, billing ownership, reporting exports and the shared test register. How we run paid UA
Reports cover spend, attribution and revenue, with the reasoning behind each change. Paid UA clients get weekly briefs and a monthly deep dive, plus cohort dashboards showing ROAS by channel, keyword, creative and geo, built on your MMP.
If AI answers now take clicks from your site, answer engine optimization (AEO) reporting shows each month where you gained or lost a citation across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. We published our own numbers first: Google showed our site 39% less often and sent us 24% fewer clicks since March, while ChatGPT visitors contacted us 4.6 times as often as our average visitor (GA4, 1 March to 5 September 2026).

Fees and payback
Admiral Media charges a monthly management fee, either a flat retainer or a percentage of media spend, separate from your media budget, with no long lock-ins. Managed ASO starts from €2,900 a month per app and market. A fee pays back when it lowers the cost of the paying users your budget already buys. Three published client results, not a forecast for your app:
NeuroNation ranked low or not at all for top keywords in Korea. Localized metadata, built from Korean keyword research, grew search downloads.
+93%search downloads, NeuroNation case study →ImmoScout24 sent Apple Ads buyers to a Custom Product Page built for their intent. Over four weeks in August 2022, buyer CPA fell from €2.41 to €1.36.
€1.36buyer CPA, down from €2.41, ImmoScout24 case study →Star Chef 2 needed 60+ fresh creative variations a week. AI creative production and structured testing lifted ROAS 45% and cut the cost to acquire each player.
−18%CAC, Star Chef 2 case study →How to check payback for your app: agree the baseline, the one metric that decides it (such as cost per paying user, store conversion or ROAS) and the review date before work starts. Then ask any agency: What happens if the metric has not moved by the review date? For AEO, how will mentions be tied to qualified enquiries, since a mention is not a lead?

You do. Your ad accounts, data, creative files and test log stay yours, and media spend goes to the ad platforms directly, separate from the management fee.

On its own site, ChatGPT visitors contacted Admiral Media 4.6 times as often as the average visitor (GA4, 1 March to 5 September 2026). No agency can guarantee how an AI model will answer.
