When implementing a new ad format, you might be\nconcerned about negative impact on user experience or retention, but you might\nalso be curious if you can increase revenue and engagement if a new ad format\nis properly instrumented.\n***Figure 1**: Optimal ad format maximizes revenue with minimal impact to churn*\n\nTo resolve these unknowns, Firebase offers tools that help you test and then\nmake data-driven decisions about adopting new ad formats:\n\n- Using Firebase, you can A/B test the performance of a new ad format with a\n *small subset* of users.\n\n- You can observe the test results and review recommendations from Firebase\n about whether the new ad format is performing better than the existing ad\n format.\n\n- Once you're confident that the changes will likely have a positive impact,\n you can roll out the changes to more of your users with a click of a button.\n\nBusiness case and the value\n\nOn average, developers and publishers who use Google AdMob and Firebase\ntools for adding a new ad format enjoy major revenue uplifts (up to 10X\\*) while\nkeeping the retention rate stable.\n\n\\**Revenue uplift based on results from 8 large publishers in 2020.*\n\n|---|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| | [**Pomelo Games**](/use-cases/pomelo-games) uses Firebase to increase revenue by up to 35% without losing players. |\n\n|---|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| | [**Qtonz**](/use-cases/qtonz-mbit-music) uses Firebase to achieve 4x increase in Ads Revenue and 190% increase in . |\n\nImplementing the solution\n\nTo implement this solution, you can follow our step-by-step tutorial (find an\noverview of this tutorial later on this page).\n\nIn this multistep tutorial, you'll learn **how to use Firebase to test a new\nGoogle AdMob ad format for your app** . It uses a\n[rewarded interstitial ad](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9884467)\nas the example test case, but you can extrapolate and use these same steps to\ntest out\n[other ad formats](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128738).\n\nThis tutorial assumes that you already use AdMob in your app and that you'd\nlike to test whether adding *another* ad unit (with a new ad format) will have\nan impact on your app's revenue or other metrics. However, if you don't already\nuse AdMob in your app, that's ok! The steps in this tutorial can also help\nyou understand if simply adding an ad unit to your app has an impact on your\napp's metrics.\n| **Tip:** If there's a term that you're not familiar with, check out the [glossary](#glossary) at the bottom of this page.\n\nProducts and features used for this solution\n\n|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Google AdMob \u003e [Google AdMob](/docs/admob) enables you to create ad unit variants that will be served within your app. When you link AdMob with Firebase, AdMob sends ad revenue information to Firebase to improve ad strategy optimization. Google Analytics \u003e [Google Analytics](/docs/analytics) gives you insight into user engagement, retention, and monetization metrics like total revenue, AdMob revenue, purchase revenue, and much more. It also allows you to create user audiences and segments. | Firebase Remote Config \u003e [Firebase Remote Config](/docs/remote-config) enables you to dynamically change and customize the behavior and appearance of your app for desired user segments --- *all without publishing a new version of your \u003e app* . In this tutorial, you'll use Remote Config parameters to control whether a new ad unit is shown to your users. Firebase A/B Testing \u003e [Firebase A/B Testing](/docs/ab-testing) provides the interface and infrastructure to run product and marketing experiments in your app. It takes care of distributing experiment variants to users, and then performs statistical analysis to determine if an experiment variant is outperforming the control group based on your selected key metric, such as revenue or user retention. |\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nSolution tutorial overview\n\n[Go\ndirectly to the step-by-step tutorial](/docs/tutorials/test-ad-format-adoption/step-1)\n\n1. [**Use AdMob to\n create a new ad unit variant for testing**](/docs/tutorials/test-ad-format-adoption/step-1)\n\n 1. Create a new rewarded interstitial ad unit in AdMob.\n\n 2. Implement the ad unit placement within your app's code.\n\n2. [**Set up an A/B\n test in the Firebase console**](/docs/tutorials/test-ad-format-adoption/step-2)\n\n 1. Define testing basics, targeting, and the goals that the test will run\n against.\n\n 2. Define test variants and set up the Remote Config parameter that\n will control whether to show the new ad unit to users in the test.\n\n3. [**Handle\n Remote Config parameter values in your app's code**](/docs/tutorials/test-ad-format-adoption/step-3)\n\n 1. Use the Remote Config parameter in your app.\n\n 2. Implement the logic for displaying the ad unit based on the parameter's\n value.\n\n4. [**Start the A/B\n test and review the test results in the Firebase console**](/docs/tutorials/test-ad-format-adoption/step-4)\n\n 1. After starting the test and allowing it to run for a few days or weeks,\n check the Firebase console for whether the A/B test has a winning\n variant based on the primary goal of the A/B test.\n\n 2. Review the impact on secondary metrics for each variant to ensure the\n variants didn't cause unintended negative impacts to those metrics.\n\n5. [**Decide whether\n to roll out the new ad format**](/docs/tutorials/test-ad-format-adoption/step-5)\n\n 1. If A/B Testing determines that the variant showing the new ad format\n is the winner, you can start showing the ad format to all users targeted\n in the experiment, all users of your app, or to a subset of your users.\n\n 2. If a clear winner isn't yet determined, you can either continue running\n the experiment to gather more data, or end the experiment if it's\n already been running for a long period with inconclusive results.\n\nGlossary\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nView a list of common terms for this solution\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n- **AdMob revenue** : AdMob network and open bidding revenue\n\n- **IAP revenue**: In app purchases revenue\n\n- **Total revenue**: Total revenue\n\n- **Retention**: Retention as a key metric in A/B tests is tracked as 1 day,\n 2-3 days, 4-7 days, 8-14 days, or 15+ days user retention\n\n- **Remote Config parameter**: The configurable parameter used to control\n whether we show the new ad format or not. In this guide, it will be a boolean\n value.\n\n- **Baseline configuration** : The as-is configuration in any particular A/B test\n --- also known as the control. The control usually uses the default value for\n the Remote Config parameter, but it can be configured to use a new control\n value if needed.\n\n- **Variant configurations** : The variant configurations are the alternative\n configurations with different Remote Config parameter values that we would\n like to test against the baseline configuration.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e"]]
