Regulae Contenti pro Praeconibus
Targetoo owns, operates, and manages advanced programmatic advertising technology designed to power effective global mobile campaigns.
The success of a mobile advertising campaign depends on the effective use of these technologies. Targetoo’s Demand Side Platform (DSP) enables seamless user acquisition, engagement, operational efficiency, and monetization.
To protect our partners and ensure a consistent, high-quality user experience, all advertisers must comply with Targetoo’s Advertiser Content Guidelines.
APK Requisita
All APK files submitted for preload inventory must be listed on the Google Play Store. Targetoo and its carrier partners will not approve custom APKs that differ in functionality or features from the Play Store version.
Version Imperium
Updated APK files must have a higher version number than the version currently preloaded. Targetoo cannot accept updates using the same or lower version number.
For questions, contact contact@targetoo.com.
Targetoo continuously monitors Google Play Store updates to deliver the latest versions. Occasionally, there may be a short delay before new APKs are available on the Ignite platform, during which the previous version may remain active. Advertisers can minimize this delay by uploading the latest file and notifying our team via the customer portal.
