App advertising involves promoting mobile apps to drive downloads, in-app engagement, or user retention. It uses platforms like Google Ads, Facebook, and app stores to target users based on their behavior, interests, or device types. This strategy helps app developers grow their audience, boost installs, and increase monetization through tailored ad campaigns.
