How SpendSignoff works

Capture

Screenshots the paid App Store search results

SpendSignoff runs your keywords through the Shopify App Store and captures a full screenshot of every sponsored slot, timestamped and stored.

Score

Relevance scoring for each sponsored slot

Each ad placement is scored against your keyword intent. A listing/keyword mismatch means the advertiser is bidding where they do not belong.

Flag

Identifies off-target placements

Slots that score below threshold are flagged as wasted spend. You see which apps are burning budget on keywords that do not match their product.

Ledger

Tallies wasted spend into a forensic register

Every flagged placement rolls up into a cumulative waste ledger you can sort by keyword, competitor, or estimated spend lost.

Monitor

Weekly reruns track improvement over time

Subscribe to weekly scans and watch your waste trend line drop as you adjust bids, pause poor performers, or shift budget to stronger keywords.

Meridian Commerce

Industry: eCommerce apps
Company size: 12 people

We were spending $3k/mo on App Store ads without knowing half our placements were on keywords that had nothing to do with our product. The dossier made it obvious where to cut.

CartLoop

Industry: SMS marketing
Company size: 8 people

The weekly ledger paid for itself the first month. We dropped two keyword groups that were pure waste and reallocated to terms that actually convert.

ShipRight

Industry: Shipping & fulfillment
Company size: 22 people

Having screenshots of every placement is what sold our CFO. No more arguing about whether the spend was justified when you can see the evidence.
