STRATEGIC SEO
App Store Optimization
The problem
You have built a good app. The problem is that nobody searching for what it does can find it. Competitors with weaker products rank above you in store search, your organic installs are a trickle, and growth depends entirely on how much you spend on ads.
Store search is the largest source of app discovery, and it runs on its own rules. The keywords in your metadata, the structure of your title and description, your ratings, your conversion rate, your update history: the stores read all of it, and most apps have never been deliberately optimised for any of it.
The cost is continuous. Every day your app stays invisible for its core searches, the installs go to whoever is ranked there instead, and your paid acquisition carries weight that organic discovery should be carrying for free… at no ongoing cost per install.
Your app does not appear for the searches that describe it
Installs depend almost entirely on paid campaigns
Competitors with weaker apps rank above you in store search
Many people view your store page but few install
You are entering new markets and languages
Nobody has ever systematically worked on your store presence
Why this is hard
App Store Optimization is two different disciplines wearing one name. Apple’s App Store and Google Play rank apps by different rules, read different fields, and reward different signals. What works in one can be wasted effort in the other, and most “ASO tips” found online ignore the difference entirely.
The second difficulty is that visibility and conversion are inseparable. Ranking for a search means nothing if the store page does not convert viewers into installs, and the stores themselves measure that conversion and feed it back into rankings. Metadata, visuals, ratings, and reviews form one system, and optimising one piece in isolation moves little.
And app discovery no longer ends at the store. People ask search engines and AI assistants which app to use, and the answers are drawn from the wider web. An app invisible outside its store listing is leaving a growing discovery channel to competitors.
Get found. Get installed.
We’ll optimise your App Store and Google Play presence to improve discoverability, strengthen conversion and turn more searches into installs.
Your app’s visibility is one part of a bigger picture: how your business is found across search engines, AI platforms, and digital channels. When the question is wider than the store, Analysis & Strategy maps your entire visibility landscape and where the growth actually is.
