What is app store optimization?
App Store Optimization, or ASO, is the process of improving an app’s visibility, conversion rate, and overall performance within the Apple App Store and Google Play. While ASO shares foundational principles with traditional SEO, it operates on different ranking signals, user behaviors, and platform-specific algorithms.
Successful ASO goes beyond keyword placement. It combines strategic metadata optimization, compelling visual assets, user feedback management, and continuous testing to influence both discovery and download decisions. When executed correctly, ASO becomes one of the most cost-effective growth channels for mobile apps.
Why app store optimization matters
Mobile apps dominate how people spend time online.
Over 88 percent of total mobile device time is spent in apps.
More than 25.6 billion apps are downloaded from Google Play every year.
Nearly half of global users open an app at least 11 times per day
Mobile apps have generated over 935 billion in revenue worldwide between 2019 and 2027
Core ASO ranking and conversion factors
App name optimization
The app name is the strongest ranking signal across both Apple App Store and Google Play. We balance brand integrity with high-intent keywords to improve rankings while maintaining clarity and trust for users.
Subtitle and short description
The App Store subtitle and Google Play short description offer essential space to emphasize relevance. We utilize this space to showcase your app’s main value, key features, and competitive advantages, while also aiding keyword indexing.
Keyword strategy
For Apple’s keyword field, we conduct deep research to identify high-value, realistic search terms. While invisible to users, this field plays a major role in discoverability and must be structured with precision to avoid wasted opportunities.
Screenshots and visual storytelling
Screenshots often determine whether a user will install or scroll past. We design and sequence screenshots to communicate benefits clearly, showcase real use cases, and guide users toward action within seconds.
Promo videos
On Google Play, promo videos improve engagement, conversion rates, and listing performance. We help structure and test videos that quickly demonstrate value, reduce uncertainty, and encourage installs.
Ratings and reviews
Ratings and reviews influence both user trust and store algorithms. We analyze sentiment, identify friction points, and support review improvement strategies that strengthen perception and ranking over time.
ASO strategy and execution
Our process begins with a comprehensive ASO audit that evaluates keyword rankings, conversion rates, install trends, and user engagement metrics. We benchmark your performance against competitors and identify opportunities to increase click-through rates and installs.
We then assess your visual assets to ensure they clearly communicate value and reduce friction. User reviews and ratings are analyzed to uncover insights that impact both perception and ranking signals. From there, we implement, test, and scale what works.

FAQs
What is the difference between ASO and SEO?
SEO focuses on ranking websites in search engines, while ASO is designed specifically for app discovery and conversion within app stores. Each uses different ranking factors and optimization techniques.
How long does ASO take to show results?
Initial improvements can appear within weeks, but meaningful and sustainable growth typically develops over several months through testing, iteration, and refinement.
Do you optimize for both Apple App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We create platform-specific ASO strategies tailored to the unique algorithms, ranking signals, and user behavior of each store.
Can ASO work alongside paid user acquisition?
Absolutely. ASO improves organic performance and increases conversion rates, which often lowers paid acquisition costs and improves overall ROI.
Is ASO a one-time service or ongoing?
ASO is an ongoing process. App stores, competitors, and user expectations constantly change, and continuous optimization is required to maintain and grow performance.
