Why this works now (our analysis)
Apple's App Store optimization guidelines allow developers to utilize AI-generated ad content to enhance visibility. Codeways effectively leveraged Facebook Ads to promote a newly launched app, generating $1 million in revenue within the first month. The company faces a risk related to increasing customer acquisition costs, which could impact profitability as competition for ad space intensifies.
