How “Woofz”, a Dog Training App, Scaled to $400K/Month by Turning Playtime Into a Funnel

At first glance, Woofz looks like a friendly dog trainer.

But underneath, every screen is designed to monetize.

Here’s how they pull it off:

Onboarding That Leads Straight to Paywall

Woofz keeps onboarding light:

  • Questions about your dog’s personality.

  • Training goals.

Then → immediate paywall.

❌ Close it once → Woofz tempts you with “premium features” for free.

❌ Close again → forced login/signup.

No escape without commitment.

🚀 Turn your app from “Launched” to “Growing” in just 3 weeks.

✅ Trusted by 50+ App Founders ✅ 17 Proven Playbooks ✅ Weekly Founder Calls

Smart Upsells That Stick

Once inside, Woofz offers you a dog training book upsell.

It’s not just a one-time popup – it sits in a sticky bar so you keep seeing it.

A small-ticket upsell, positioned perfectly.

Dominating App Store Keywords

Woofz ranks Top 3 for ~500 high-intent keywords:

  • “puppy training”

  • “train dog”

  • “free puppy training”

New dog owners search → Woofz shows up.

Building an SEO Moat

Their website drives 100K monthly visits.

Most traffic → blog posts on dog behavior and training.

That content funnels straight into app installs.

Paid Ads Everywhere

On top of organic, Woofz layers paid.

  • ~150 Apple Search Ads keywords (dog training, dog whistle, etc.)

  • 320 ads on Facebook

  • 500 ads on Google

  • 342 ads on TikTok

Wherever dog owners scroll, Woofz is there.
