App Store Optimization

Get found. Get installed.

The store listing is how people find the app and decide to install. We test the words, the screenshots, and the icon.

The short version.

App store optimization is how the listing gets found and how more of those visits install.

  • Choose the words buyers search.
  • Test the title, subtitle, and screenshots.
  • Keep the listing current as your app, competitors and search demand change.

The loop, start to finish.

Not a one-off launch task. A standing cycle, because rankings decay and competitors re-optimize.

Step 01

Keyword and competitor map

We list the words people search, and where a competitor ranks above you.

Step 02

Metadata rebuild

We rewrite the title, subtitle, keyword field, and description, then measure which word moved the rank.

Step 03

Creative testing loop

Icon, screenshots, and preview video are tested on real store visits. The install decides.

Step 04

Rank and conversion reporting

Each week you see which word moved, and which image changed how many people installed.

A stronger listing for every source of traffic.

Compounding

Discovery beyond campaigns

Relevant keywords and current metadata help people find the app through store search. Rankings can change, so we monitor them alongside conversion.

Leverage

Support paid acquisition

A listing that converts more visits into installs can improve acquisition efficiency. We check the effect for the traffic reaching each store.

Defensible

Build on what the tests show

Keyword research and creative experiments create a record of what visitors respond to, giving the next test a better starting point.

App Store Optimization, answered.

How long does ASO take to show results?

Word and listing changes usually move rank in 2 to 4 weeks. Screenshot tests often show in the first 30 days, and keep compounding over 3 to 6 months.

Does ASO work for both the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. The App Store and Google Play rank apps differently, so we treat them as two listings.

Does ASO replace paid user acquisition?

No. A better listing turns more of the people who reach it into installs, including the ones you paid for.

What do you optimize first?

Usually the icon and the first screenshots, then the words. We keep the change that gets more installs.

What does App Store Optimization cost?

A 30-day listing sprint is $9,000 fixed. Ongoing work sits in the growth retainer at $10,000 to $18,000 a month, month to month after the first 3 months. Ad spend is separate. We manage from $25,000 a month in media.
