Telegram Ads for mobile apps: CPI, installs, and retargeting

How to drive iOS and Android installs via Telegram Ads: deep links, tracking, Euro vs TON, and CPI optimization.

Goal and install tracking

App KPIs are installs or signups — not clicks. Set up MMP or server postback before spend; without attribution you can't cut placements or scale.

Euro cabinet drives to store or smart link; TON fits bot install buttons or mini apps. TRAFFIX sets up in 24h, $500 minimum.

  • UTM + click ID in link
  • Separate iOS / Android campaigns
  • Install event as KPI

Creatives and moderation

Show real app UI, store rating, and clear value — no «#1 worldwide» or fake reviews.

Copy goes through TRAFFIX pre-moderation; finance and dating apps need extra disclaimers.

  • Hook: problem → solution in copy
  • A/B UI screenshot vs banner
  • Localize per store geo

Placements and scale

TRAFFIX vertical channel packs: tech, lifestyle, productivity. Public channels with 1000+ subs only.

After stable CPI, expand Euro geo (32 countries) or TON worldwide — don't mix OS in one ad group.

  • CPA per install, not CPM
  • Retarget click-no-install
  • Weekly placement cuts
