Deeplink.me is the biggest independent deep linking service designed for native apps. Deeplink enables the developers of these apps to link to different pages inside their app, across platforms (iOS, Android, desktop), through a single URL. This service also provides native app re-targeting. With this feature, app developers can target their current users with an ad that is relevant to them personally. Then they can bring their customers back to the app and increase their conversion. Here are some of the unique services provided the Deeplink.me team.

1. DeepLinks

This is the flagship service that enables developers to build URLs for all the pages inside their native Android and iOS apps. The URLs created are in this format: “deeplink.me/yourlink.com/page”. Building URLs is free but high volume users pay using a ‘pay-per-click’ model.

2. DeepSearch

DeepSearch is a powerful web app search system designed to help users discover valuable information within all the apps they have installed on their mobile device. So you can use it to discover the gold nuggets buried deep inside all the apps you have been gathering together for years. This service also includes a web search.

3. AppWords

AppWords is a mobile ad and search platform that uses relevant keywords to display content from one app to another. This is the most recent service launched by the Deeplink.me developers. Deeplink is currently providing this service as an SDK. Developers can use it to add deep linking features to their apps and allow their apps to link out to others at designated points.

The advertising model is similar to Google’s ad system. The outbound points in the apps can be monitized (just like publishers place adsense ads on their websites). Marketers will be allowed to bid on the outbound links (in a similar manner to Google Adwords). The winner will get the link through to his app if the app exists on the user’s phone.

From the humble beginning in 2010, this Deeplink.me has grown rapidly. Today, they provide deep linking services to thousands of apps and large e-commerce companies including: JackThreads, Urban Outfitters, Thrillist, PeerSpace, DraftKings, Gametime, SpoonRocket, WeWork, Fox and the New York Times.
