App Store Optimization: The Forgotten Half of App Marketing

Keyword fields, screenshot strategy and review prompts — ASO improvements that lifted organic installs 180% for our app clients.

Paid installs get expensive quickly. Store listing quality determines how much free distribution you get for the same spend.

01

Metadata that ranks

Title and subtitle carry the most weight; the keyword field should never repeat words already used. Research from real store search suggestions, not web keyword tools.

02

Screenshots sell the install

The first two screenshots decide conversion. Lead with the outcome and a short benefit caption rather than a raw UI capture.

03

Ratings compound

Prompt for reviews after a success moment, respond to negative feedback, and ship regular updates — all three feed store ranking.
