Glance growth playbook

Diagnosis

Glance, the InMobi-backed shopping agent, is pushing hard into the US: Siri AI on iPhone, PayPal checkout, True Fit, Android TV and Samsung TVs in a few months, and it is hiring a US integrated consumer marketer, TV partnership directors, a growth program manager and a Japan launch team.

The US web front door has not kept up: glance.com/us mentions none of these launches, shows no rating or retailers, links iPhones to the India App Store and is slow on phones; scale numbers also differ across the site and job posts.

This playbook rebuilds the front door first, speeds up the first try-on, aligns the numbers, then builds creator, TV-to-phone, retailer and lifecycle engines, with bigger bets on brand-site try-ons and data-led PR.

Growth Score

6/10

Biggest Opportunity

Turn the burst of launches (PayPal, Siri AI, Android TV) into US installs by giving press, creators and TV viewers one fast landing page and a quick first try-on.

Biggest Risk

Large platforms already offer AI shopping and try-on, so Glance must make its personal try-ons and presence on the lock screen and TV feel worth an extra app.

The three moves to make first. Each one is written up in full below.

    Make glance.com/us the landing page for the PayPal, Siri and Android TV launches, with the 4.8-star rating and a US App Store link

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Glance is hiring a New York marketer to make agentic shopping a US consumer habit and to keep "every consumer touchpoint" premium. In five weeks Glance announced Siri AI on iPhone, PayPal checkout, True Fit and Android TV. But glance.com/us, where that press and every campaign will send people, mentions none of them: no try-ons, no PayPal, no Siri, no TV, no retailers, and not the 4.8 stars from 3,331 US App Store ratings. Its App Store button opens the India storefront, the sitemap says the page was last changed in May 2025, and on phones the main content takes about 15 seconds to appear in Google's test.

    Smallest test

    Swap the store link and add the rating line this week, then compare installs.

    Why it works

    Rebuild /us as the campaign landing page: a short video of a styled try-on, "Ask Siri" and "Pay with PayPal" proof, a "Now on your TV" strip, the US rating, retailer logos, and one primary button that sends iPhone users to the US App Store and Android users to Play. Move the cookie notice out of the critical path and defer Facebook and tag scripts. Then point every press release and creator link at it.

    Earned media and creator traffic only turns into installs if the page shows the product doing what the stories describe. A fast page with social proof and the right store link removes the three easiest reasons to bounce.

    Ready to use

    ChecklistUS landing page list

    [ ] US App Store link (and Play for Android)
    [ ] 4.8 stars, 3,331 ratings, live from the store
    [ ] Try-on clip with a poster image
    [ ] PayPal, Siri AI, Android TV, True Fit strip
    [ ] Retailer logos
    [ ] Cookie notice not the largest element
    [ ] Tag and Facebook scripts deferred
    [ ] Tracked links in every press release

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Video slows the page

      Load it after the first paint with a poster image.

    • Rating changes

      Pull it from the store feed rather than hard-coding it.

    Smallest test

    Fix the four numbers on the business page.

    Why it works

    Agree one fact sheet with definitions (devices reached, monthly users of Glance AI, lock-screen reach, markets) and update the business page, newsroom boilerplate and job templates to use it.

    Consistent, defined numbers build trust with retailers and journalists, which the consumer and partnership hires depend on.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Smaller numbers look weaker

      Show each with its definition.

    The App Store listing leads with styled try-ons and the job post promises an agent that shows products "on you". Help pages show users asking how to create an avatar and whether they can make several. The first session decides whether that moment happens.

    Why it works

    Recruit 50 fashion and beauty creators, have each post "Glance styled me for…" try-ons tied to moments (holidays, travel, events), with tracked links and an affiliate share from purchases.

    Seeing a real person in an AI-styled look is the clearest explanation of agentic shopping.

    Run trip reminders for one cohort.

    Why it works

    Let users add occasions (a trip, a wedding, a season change), then send a styled set a week before with try-ons and checkout. Measure 30-day return and purchase rates.

    Timely, personal reasons to open the app beat generic pushes.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Why it works

    Add a "send to my phone" QR on every TV look that opens the same look in the app (or the store if not installed), and measure TV-sourced installs and purchases.

    The TV is a huge awareness surface; a handoff turns it into an install channel.

    Why it works

    Build a kit for every device launch: co-branded landing page, store assets, in-store and carrier materials, a creator set and an activation target in the deal model.

    Activation after launch is what makes a device deal pay back.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value seeing themselves in a look before buying. The most cited problem: endless catalogs.

  • A feed that fits their taste
  • Not knowing if it will fit or suit them
  • In their words: “personal shopper”

Market

Competitive landscape

3 competitors compared: Google Shopping AI features, Amazon Rufus and Pinterest.

  • Gap to exploit: Try-ons of the shopper across many stores
  • Google Shopping AI features: Not a personal feed
