In a nutshell, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/app-store-seo\/\" class=\"ek-link\">app store optimization (ASO)<\/a> can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Increase app visibility so that users will easily find or stumble upon it in a search<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive more traffic to your app\u2019s homepage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Persuade users to download or purchase the app once they find it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Done right, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/app-store-optimization\" class=\"ek-link\">app store optimization<\/a> drives you conversion rates higher. But as with regular SEO, there\u2019s more to it than just making sure your app store listing has all the right keywords in it. It starts with creating an app that keeps user experience, app performance, and functionality in focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the foundation for any mobile app marketing strategy. Here\u2019s how to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-seo-and-mobile-app-optimization-are-alike\">How SEO and mobile app optimization are alike <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Mobile app optimization is a lot like regular search engine optimization (SEO). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like SEO, mobile app optimization uses everything it knows about a search engine&#8217;s ranking factors and molds the elements of an app&#8217;s listing to meet the search engine&#8217;s current best practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And like SEO, mobile app optimization is a never-ending, always-evolving process. It&#8217;s critically important to the success of your <g class=\"gr_ gr_75 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"75\" data-gr-id=\"75\">app<\/g> because <a aria-label=\"roughly 40-60% (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/phiture.com\/asostack\/how-do-users-search-for-apps-5a0d3257803f\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">roughly 40-60%<\/a> of mobile app users discover their favorite apps via app store searches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the major differences of SEO and mobile app optimization, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/unique-content-for-seo\/\" class=\"ek-link\">SEO focuses on producing more unique engaging content<\/a>, and mobile app optimization is focuses on user intent and engagement metrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we got the difference out of the way, let&#8217;s dive into our tips for optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-tips-for-mobile-app-optimization\">8 tips for mobile app optimization<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-make-sure-people-want-the-app-youre-building\">1. Make sure people want the app you\u2019re building<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Imagine putting in hours of work on your cool mobile application idea only to find out that no one wants it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:99%;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/3ohhwlN2fU4oFDgkk8\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" style=\"position:absolute\" frameBorder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is you can prevent this major snafu from happening with some simple user testing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People do it on PickFu all the time with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/products\/open-ended-polls\">open-ended<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/products\/head-to-head-polls\">head-to-head<\/a> polls. Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/mobile-apps\/mobile-app-ideas\/would-you-use-an-app-that-allowed-you-to-find-and-meet-with-other-dog-owners-geographically-close-by-R0733GTI\">this aspiring app developer<\/a>, for example. They asked a group of 50 U.S.-based respondents whether they\u2019d be interested in an app that helps dog owners meet up with each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the answer was <em>no. <\/em>Respondents pointed out that the idea is too basic. Or that they already have plenty of friends who also own dogs. Or that they go to the dog park to meet other dog owners when they want to\u2014and many didn\u2019t want to at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/7tA2hDF6bKInMP0mye8ZOvApSHUHvNMXW0WYLc7NNT_o9JZv6GLNrBeacFvj8ivsYod8S9gISJRMxDoBPhu0ZMYtzhtTfRbo2-Y2XL1vBPuKn7j56wY4hPw30IZ0GWtuWm5XEZzOJxsfn12OFA0BFzc\" alt=\"Would you use an app that allowed you to find and meet w\/ other dog owners close by to you? Poll results, with Option A (No), it would need to have other features\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If the PickFu user had started developing this idea without testing potential user engagement first, it would\u2019ve flopped hard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another user\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/mobile-apps\/mobile-app-ideas\/how-interested-would-you-be-in-a-mobile-financial-literacy-gaming-app-that-is-expansive-42MYCE0N\">idea for a gamified financial literacy app<\/a>, on the other hand, won over the hearts of 100 PickFu respondents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/92txR_Emk7tAB3FAbvjUGVnzoH2x74jpQCqTv1imXXBl58TFJmLstrn8ZFBNsC47rnqefesTLRXsk4AqQgmpTWFCrP0q9BJxwJA_cdWrWhlvf78ml7v9HxJU5nBj_CGpT_Qq9kejflfdwKMk3x-nE5s\" alt=\"How interested would you be in a financial literacy gaming app that is expansive and interactive, poll with Option A as the winner. \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of SEO is creating a product people actually want. So make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/idea-validation\">validate your idea<\/a> before you move forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you want to build an app that\u2019s a lot like other apps on the market, put energy into figuring out how yours offers something more than the others. Look at app ratings and user feedback for your competitors. Their customers\u2019 pain points could be your selling point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-build-an-app-worth-downloadingnbsp\">2. Build an app worth downloading <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Everyone uses apps, but they\u2019re quick to delete an app with performance issues or a super slow load time. Or one that doesn\u2019t actually do the things it promises in the product description. These things will ding your app\u2019s reputation as far as SEO algorithms are concerned. You don\u2019t want that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So once you know that people like your app idea, it\u2019s time to create an app that\u2019s functional and efficient. A good user experience is <em>everything <\/em>when it comes to ASO strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to do this? Test the product at every step of development, from initial prototypes to the final product and beyond. That\u2019s right\u2014you\u2019ll want to keep testing your app and updating it as needed to ensure excellent mobile app performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a mobile-app-specific testing tool like Testsigma to test the nuts and bolts of any app type, from a web app to an iOS app. Testsigma\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/testsigma.com\/mobile-testing\">guide to performance optimization testing<\/a> is a great launching point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-test-the-apps-icons-screenshots-and-overall-design\">3. Test the app\u2019s icons, screenshots, and overall design<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>This is the step where you test all the visual features, like app design, icons, and screenshots. One of the best ways to optimize these elements is by A\/B testing your options before going live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/mobile-apps\/mobile-app-screenshots\/what-is-your-preferred-art-style-for-a-cat-themed-restaurant-simulation-game-XST76C8P\">this app developer did<\/a> with a cat-themed restaurant simulation game app. They asked 50 mobile gamers what art style they\u2019d prefer for this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/QpCrUjYEUn9kgxluni4NLePiItC5UrpwqZuDicz5EudEzWdpNAjuWhICLtksk2bijWoivztqN4aCRo47qGSLFVosBYe3h0G9sgdxRg_Jau3PGn3nsecEUlIYzaKMHyoy-9baczdWuJQvu7u77UkjJ3E\" alt=\"Screenshot of an App of a cat-themed restaurant simulation game poll.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be wondering, \u201cWhy did the middle choice get so many respondents?\u201d If you look closely, you\u2019ll see that the main difference between the three screenshots is the way the cats look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this group of mobile gamers loved the cute, hand-drawn-looking faces. They also liked the game\u2019s viewing angle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This would be a great cat style to choose\u2014and a perfect screenshot to use to promote the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PickFu can also help you test your app icon, which is like a book cover for your mobile app. It makes it either blend in or stand out in the app store.

But they also need to include keywords that help the algorithms match your app to the right end user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a balance to strike for optimal app store search power. In general, you want to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Optimize your title and description: <\/strong>Use catchy titles that include relevant keywords. Include keywords in the subtitle and URL, too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/naming-mobile-app\/\">These tips for naming your app<\/a> have more information on that process. Keep descriptions short and to the point. Make sure you highlight key benefits and features in a way that&#8217;s easily scannable.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use quality visuals:<\/strong> We said it before, but it\u2019s worth saying again. You <em>must <\/em>include high-quality screenshots and videos to showcase your app\u2019s main features and attract users. Since an app is a virtual product, this is the best way to give potential users a chance to try it on before they buy it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose the right keywords:<\/strong> Research and update relevant keywords to improve search visibility. You should do this regularly\u2014the top things people search for can change from week to week. Do keyword research via Google AdWords to find out what users are searching. Instead of picking high-volume keywords to include in your app description, choose keywords with lower search volume. You\u2019ll have less competition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encourage reviews and ratings:<\/strong> Prompt users to leave ratings and reviews on your app. If they leave negative reviews, do some troubleshooting. Avoid being defensive. Just apologize and fix the issue in question. Other potential users will see every exchange you have with a reviewer\u2014so make it friendly and helpful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Perform regular updates: <\/strong>Consistently update your app to fix bugs, add features, and adjust ASO elements based on user feedback and performance data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>App stores always update the way their methods for deciding app ranks. Right now, for example, the Apple App Store places a lot of importance on text relevance and user behavior. This probably won\u2019t change anytime soon, but regularly revisiting keyword rankings and app store SEO tips doesn\u2019t hurt:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/app-store\/search\/\">Apple\u2019s App Store SEO tips<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/googleplay\/android-developer\/answer\/4448378?hl=en\">Google Play Store SEO tips<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/partner-center\/marketplace\/optimize-for-store-discovery\">Microsoft Store SEO tips<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sell.amazon.com\/blog\/amazon-seo\">Amazon SEO tips<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve rounded up some of the most important tips in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/app-store-ranking-factors\/\">guide to optimizing app store ranking factors<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-pay-attention-to-app-downloads-and-retention-rates\">5. Pay attention to app downloads and retention rates<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>App stores measure how many downloads an app has as well as how long the app stays on a user\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical to make sure your app is useful once users do buy or download it. Implement updates to fix glitches and bugs and always work on improving the functionality of your app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ignore this, you might see fewer positive reviews on your app product page. Worse still, you\u2019ll have fewer app users overall as your app falls farther behind on the latest performance best practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-crosspost-information-about-your-app\">6. Cross-post information about your app<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Do you have a website or social media sites? If you haven\u2019t already, now\u2019s a great time to highlight your app on all your online homes. Whether you\u2019re a startup or an established business, the additional exposure is worth it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, cross-posting info about your app helps boost its appearance in search engines like Google and Bing. This means greater app visibility for you!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-get-the-pricing-right\">7.

For example, you could upload your app title and screenshots and ask, \u201cHow much would you pay for this app?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, you could test out different price points with ranked or head-to-head polls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PickFu users will always be honest, and they\u2019ll always give a reason for their decision.
