Inside the app
¡Hola que ASO!
App Store Optimization
What do you see?
What do you really see?
App Name
How do you choose it?
#1 I just make it up
#2 Brainstorming with your colleagues
#3 I do some research and I see my
competitors’ names
My recommendation:
Follow the 3 steps
And always include keywords
Because keywords influence your
app rank!
App Icon
Do you see the difference?
@vestorach #NSBarcelona
Recommendations
#1 Never include words
#2 Keep it simple
#3 Icon/App consistency
With a good icon…
… you convince us to open your app
App Screenshots
@vestorach #NSBarcelona
“A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words”
@vestorach #NSBarcelona
Never post your screenshots naked
#1 Mix them
#2 Write on them
#3 Play with them
IT’S YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION!
Design has HIGH IMPACT
App Description
@vestorach #NSBarcelona
Remember
#1 We are lazy… We only read the first 2 or 3 lines of
the description
#2 In Android apps: Include keywords!
App Keywords
What tools can we use?
- Similar to the old Google Keyword Tool - Not 100% perfect - Free - Very easy to use
http://www.straply.com/
- Suggest competitors keywords - Suggest some top keywords for your app - Relevant information (from the App Store)
http://www.appcodes.com/
- Track your rankings - Compare your progress with your competitors - Identify relevant keyword
