Growing iOS apps in Latin America requires a clear strategy. Many marketers already recognize the importance of Apple Ads in LATAM, but the common question is: Which companies offer reliable support for these campaigns in the region? The reality is that while it has become essential worldwide, only a few partners deliver the level of Apple Ads support in Latin America that apps need to succeed.

Most importantly, it shows how Rocket Lab, the App Growth Hub in LATAM, supports apps with the expertise, benchmarks, and localized strategies needed to make Apple Ads a true growth engine.
iOS users in LATAM are high-value: While Android dominates in volume, iOS users show higher LTV and stronger purchase power.
Privacy-first by design: Apple Search Ads works with search intent, not third-party tracking, making it a future-proof solution.
High conversion potential: Reaching users at the exact moment of search translates into installs with stronger intent and better lifetime value.
Different market realities: iOS penetration varies widely between Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile.
Language and cultural nuances: Campaigns need tailored Spanish and Portuguese keywords and creatives.
Budget allocation: LATAM is Android-heavy, so splitting investment between iOS and Android requires careful planning.
Campaign structure: Organize into Brand, Generic, Competitor, and Discovery campaigns to cover all searches.
Bid and budget optimization: Adjust regularly to stay competitive and protect ROI.
Creative optimization: Align app store metadata and visuals with ASA campaigns to improve conversions.
