Custom Product Page (CPP)

An Apple feature for building multiple product pages for one app and serving them by traffic source

In one line

A Custom Product Page (CPP) is an Apple feature that lets you build several versions of your product page for one app and serve a different one depending on where the visitor came from. Apple allows up to 35 per app, each with its own URL.

Why it exists

When the ad's promise and the store page's content diverge, people drop off in that gap.

Someone who tapped an ad emphasising running features and lands on a default page whose first screenshot shows meal tracking pauses to check they have the right app. They have to scroll to find running, and some of them leave during that scroll.

CPP closes the gap by attaching a page built for that creative. The message carries straight through from ad to page.

Easy to confuse with PPO

The names are similar but the purposes are not.

  • CPP — serves different pages to different sources. It declares no winner; the goal is matching a page to an audience.
  • PPO (Product Page Optimization) — tests which variant performs better by splitting the same traffic at random.

Because CPP has no control group, it cannot answer "how much better did this get". Measuring the gain means splitting before and after by source or running a separate experiment.

Where it is used

  • Attaching different CPPs per Apple Search Ads campaign or ad group so the page matches keyword intent
  • Giving influencer or partnership traffic a dedicated landing page
  • Shifting which feature leads, per creative, for apps that do several things

What to watch out for

Maintenance grows with page count. An app update that changes screenshots can mean revising all 35. Attach them only where the traffic actually performs differently.

CPP is also separate from the keyword indexing of the default page that appears in search results. Adding custom pages does not lift organic search rank.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Custom Product Page and PPO?
CPP serves different pages to different traffic; PPO tests which variant performs better. CPP declares no winner — it matches a page to a source, with nothing to compare against. Establishing which version actually works better requires PPO or a separate experiment.
How many custom product pages can you create?
Apple allows up to 35 per app, each with its own URL. They can be attached to Apple Search Ads campaigns or used as landing destinations for other channels, which is how you keep an ad's message and the store page's first screen aligned.
Does using CPP raise conversion?
Only where the ad message and the page were already mismatched. Someone arriving from a running-focused ad who lands on a default page whose first screenshot shows meal tracking drops off at exactly that gap. CPP has no control group, though, so measuring the gain means splitting before and after by source or running a separate experiment.
