doesn’t break and only the users that don‘t

have your app installed get sent to

the app store.!

Your users are more engaged because they land

on the content they were looking for.!

Your users are more likely to return because of the positive experience.!

✓  More downloads✓  More engagement✓  More re-engagement

HOW DO I !MAKE IT WORK?!

Page 12: Mobile Deep Linking - Definition, Benefits and Implementation
Page 13: Mobile Deep Linking - Definition, Benefits and Implementation

1. Define and develop URI scheme !

2. Implement handler

3. Enable deferred deep linking

Page 14: Mobile Deep Linking - Definition, Benefits and Implementation

STEP 1 Define and develop URI scheme

•  http:// for regular websites mailto:// for email!

•  apps also have a specific URI scheme. Some known examples are fb:// vimeo:// pinterest:// !

•  You can make your own URI scheme e.g. mycompany://!

•  Ask your developer to implement a URI scheme!

Page 15: Mobile Deep Linking - Definition, Benefits and Implementation

STEP 2 Implement a handler

•  A web domain has a URL structure that enables deep linking.!

!•  For an app this structure needs to be created. Otherwise

there is no destinations to deep link the users to.!

•  Example: mycompany://products/blue-shoes!

•  Ask your app developer to implement a handler for your app.!

Page 16: Mobile Deep Linking - Definition, Benefits and Implementation

STEP 3 Enable deferred deep linking

•  Shortcut‘s deferred deep linking SDK is implemented in the app!

•  The users that click on your mobile deep linkis get uniqe identifiers and can thereby be matched to the correct content when they first open the app after they have installed it.!

•  Ask your app developer to install the SDK that enables deferred deep linking.!

✓  With mobile deep linking you can link your ads, social media posts etc. to specific pieces of content or to specific functionality in your app.!

✓  Mobile deep linking is easy to implement, you need a URI schema, a handler and you need to enable deferred deep linking.!

✓  Your customer journey becomes smoother, you can be found in search engines and you can market content and functionalities within your app.!

✓  And therefore you get more clicks on your ads, more app downloads, more app installs, more user engagement and more user re-engagement.!
