Goal: app growth

Turn the links you already send into installs.

Every email, SMS, QR code and web visit becomes a path into the app, with the context kept through the install and every new user tied to its source.

Questions, answered.

Something else? Talk to an engineer.

How does a deferred deep link survive the install?

When the link is clicked, grovs records where it should go. On first launch, the SDK asks your grovs deployment for that destination and opens it.

Will our existing links keep working if we switch?

Links on your own domain will. Point the domain at grovs and they keep resolving. Links on a vendor's domain can't be moved.

Can we run a referral program?

Yes. Referral links carry the referrer through install, and the Referrals view shows who brought in whom.

Does it work with paid ads?

Yes, when the ad points to a grovs link, though grovs is built for channels you own and never sends data to ad networks.

How do we compare channels fairly?

By what happens after the install: D30 retention and validated revenue per channel, not installs alone.

Your first link, live this afternoon.

Install the SDK, connect your domain and send a link that opens the right screen. Start free on grovs Cloud, or run the same stack in your own.
