Short answer
Web-to-app is a set of strategies that move users from mobile web to an app. Common tools include smart banners, deep links, and web checkout funnels where users buy an app subscription on the web before downloading. These approaches can lower acquisition costs and improve measurement compared with sending traffic directly to app stores.
