Focus on defining the key factors that would influence ad rankings in the Google Play Store, such as relevance to user queries, click-through rates, and conversion rates. Consider how user engagement and app performance metrics could play a role in the algorithm. For primary success metrics, prioritize metrics like ad click-through rate (CTR) and return on ad spend (ROAS). For secondary metrics, think about user retention rates and app download rates post-ad click. Be prepared to justify your choices and explain how these metrics align with overall business goals.
