App Store Optimization (ASO).

Definition

What it means.

App Store Optimization (ASO) is improving an app’s visibility and conversion inside the App Store and Google Play through relevant metadata, listing creative, reviews, and experiments. Listing improvements can support organic discovery and paid campaigns that send users to those pages; results depend on the audience and distribution path.

Worked example

In practice.

An iOS app ranks for its brand but nothing else. An ASO pass rebuilds the title, subtitle, and keyword field from a real keyword matrix, redesigns the first three screenshots around the core value moment, and runs product page tests. The team tracks organic discovery and paid-traffic conversion separately to see which changes help.
