The Challenge

Kleo, a language learning app for Spanish, Italian, and German, faced difficulty standing out in the crowded app marketplace. Despite its innovative approach to language learning, Kleo’s App Store presence was not optimized, and conversion rates remained stagnant. Users were visiting the app's page, but few were converting into actual downloads.

Key obstacles included:

  • Ineffective App Store visuals and messaging.
  • Low conversion rates due to a lack of compelling imagery and icons.
  • Underutilized opportunities to improve App Store Optimization (ASO).
The Precision Growth Framework

Our Solution

We implemented a focused strategy, improving two key areas: App Store Optimization (ASO) and visual assets (icons and screenshots).

  1. App Store Optimization (ASO):
    • Keyword Optimization: Researched and integrated high-traffic keywords relevant to language learning into the app title, subtitle, and description.
    • Compelling Description: Refined the app's description to highlight Kleo’s unique features, including real-time language learning experiences.
  2. Visual Asset Overhaul:
    • App Icon Redesign: The app icon was simplified and made more visually appealing to align with current design trends and stand out on user devices.
    • Screenshot Enhancements: We created vibrant, clean, and informative screenshots that emphasized the key benefits of the app—such as real-life conversations, daily lessons, and progress tracking. These visuals were designed to immediately communicate value to potential users.
No items found.

Results

In just 30 days, Kleo experienced significant growth:

  • Download Rate: Increased by 127% as a result of more users being drawn in by the new visuals and optimized messaging.
  • Conversion Rate: Saw a 110% increase in conversion rate, turning more app store visitors into users, thanks to the compelling iconography and screenshots.
"Our subscribers grew like never before once we teamed up with Strataigize. Their tweaks to our App Store and visuals made a huge difference—more downloads, better conversions, and results we just couldn’t get on our own. They really helped us find a clear path to success."

Mobile Security App

Strataigize reignited growth for a stalled security/VPN app by fixing cross-platform data discrepancies and reorienting Google Ads around clean purchase signals rather than unreliable value metrics. They added diagnostic-only funnel events, refined geos toward high-intent, revenue-producing markets, and reset messaging to filter out low-quality traffic before install. This data-first, intent-led strategy traded empty volume for efficiency, unlocked the first paid conversions after stagnation, and was reinforced by ASO gains. Key takeaway: reliable, aligned data is the foundation for scalable, revenue-driven acquisition.
