Install campaigns for Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox

Each browser store has its own policies, counters, listing structure and review environment. The project begins with the exact extension URL or ID so that platform and category constraints can be checked before a test or campaign is proposed.

CHROME

Chrome Web Store installs

Configure promotion for the verified Chrome Web Store listing, target GEO, pace and agreed counter.

MICROSOFT EDGE

Microsoft Edge Add-ons installs

Check availability and configure the campaign for the Microsoft Edge Add-ons listing and its own requirements.

MOZILLA FIREFOX

Firefox add-on installs

Check Mozilla Add-ons requirements, project category, GEO and capacity before confirming the campaign.

How installs, active users and retention differ

Installs, active users, retention and store-displayed metrics describe different things. A responsible brief names the metric and does not imply outcomes beyond it.

How extension install and usage metrics differ
MetricWhat it can indicateRequires separate measurement
InstallAn installation event within the agreed acquisition scopeOngoing use, satisfaction and retention
Store counterA store-displayed value under that platform’s rules and update timingReal-time activity or identical counting across stores
Active usersUsage under a platform or product-specific definitionLong-term retention and monetization
Retained usersUsers who return within a defined cohort windowFuture activity and revenue

Install volume, active users and retention are measured separately. The project brief states the checkpoint used for the campaign.

Campaign settings

  • LISTING

    Extension URL or ID

    The exact store listing anchors platform review, category checks and measurement.

  • AUDIENCE

    Platform and GEO

    Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Firefox plus the requested geography and any availability constraints.

  • CAMPAIGN

    Pace and period

    Agree a small test window and a gradual campaign plan for paid work.

  • VERIFICATION

    Review point

    Name the install signal or store counter and the time when it will be checked.

Free test process

  1. Submit the store listing. Include the browser, extension URL or ID, requested GEO and immediate goal.
  2. Confirm feasibility and scope. Extcorp checks the listing, browser, GEO and capacity, then agrees the period, pacing and install measure.
  3. Test, review and decide. If the project fits, begin with a short trial and review the named install checkpoint before planning paid work.

Product readiness

An extension should provide genuine utility, use clear permissions and comply with the relevant store rules. Acquisition is stronger when the listing communicates that value and the first-run experience helps a new user reach it. Extcorp may flag product or listing issues that should be addressed through browser extension growth or development before scaling.
