app store ranking factors and how to optimize for them

The key to success in the App Store is to optimize, optimize, optimize. In this article, we’ll introduce five key App Store ranking factors and how to master them.

5 App Store ranking factors

1. App name

Coming up with a short, memorable app name is hard. A great name is a crucial factor that decides whether or not your app is going to get love from users. Of course, you want to try to include keywords in your app name. But beyond that, you want a name that clicks with people. Think about app names that people talk about with their friends: Waze. Candy Crush Saga. Words with Friends. Then emulate them by listing memorable, brandable ideas for your app.

How do you know when you’ve found the right app name? Create a poll on PickFu to test your app name and see what real consumers think. PickFu enables you to get specific about the target customer you want to poll, such as cat owners, mobile gamers, or people with iOS devices.

e-commerce product page testing

When you’re selling online, e-commerce product page testing is a must. Why? Optimizing your listing ensures that you’re presenting your merchandise in a way that makes people as likely as possible to buy.

The way to accomplish this is with A/B testing (also called split testing). A/B testing is the process of using two versions of a web page on an audience to compare performance. A traditional split test directs a portion of your website traffic to one version of a page and directs another portion of your website traffic to a different version of that page. PickFu’s split testing is slightly different: instead of testing live, you can create a poll before your product launches and test ideas on an audience in a sandbox environment. PickFu provides the respondents and you’ll get results in as little as a few minutes.

how to improve ecommerce photos

If a picture is worth a thousand words, it’s especially true when it comes to e-commerce photos. The first thing your potential customers will look at in your products listings are the photos you’ve included.

Before a customer purchases your product, they want to know what it looks like. Beyond that, they want to get a sense of the product’s size, what it will feel like, and how it will fit into their life. Since your customers are shopping online, they obviously can’t experience the product in real life first. Your product photography must answer all those questions for your customers, convincing them that this is the right item for them.

Here are ten tips for improving your e-commerce photos and creating more sales.
