App-Entwicklung: App Store Optimization (ASO)
App Store
Optimization (ASO)
The best app is useless if no one finds it. App Store Optimization (ASO) ensures your app becomes visible in the search results of the App Store and Play Store and turns visitors into downloads. From keyword strategy through store listing optimization to A/B tests of icon and screenshots, we increase your visibility and conversion rate – data-driven and continuously.
Challenges you'll recognise
- Your app is good, but it gets lost in the crowd – it barely shows up in store search.
- You get visitors to your store page, but hardly anyone actually taps 'Get'.
- You invest in advertising for downloads, but as soon as the budget stops the installs collapse – organic visibility is missing.
Keyword research and strategy
Users find apps predominantly through search in the store. We research your target audience's search terms, analyze search volume and competition, and build a keyword strategy for title, subtitle and description from it. That way your app is found exactly when someone is searching for a solution like yours.
Store listing optimization
Title, subtitle, description and keyword fields are optimized specifically for visibility and conversion – separately for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, since both work differently. Every element follows a clear logic: get found and convince as soon as the store page is opened.
Visual conversion optimization
Icon, screenshots and preview video decide within seconds whether a user taps 'Get'. We design store assets that communicate the value of your app immediately and test different variants against each other. Even small improvements to the icon or first screenshot noticeably raise the conversion rate.
A/B testing
ASO is not a one-time project but a continuous optimization process. Through A/B tests of icons, screenshots and copy we find out in a data-driven way which variant brings more downloads – instead of relying on gut feeling. Every iteration builds on measurable results.
Good to know
Search is the most important channel
A large share of all app downloads starts with a search in the store. Anyone who doesn't rank there for the relevant terms stays invisible to most potential users – regardless of the quality of the app.
Conversion beats traffic
More visibility helps little if the store page doesn't convince. Icon, screenshots and the first line of copy decide on the download within seconds. Visual optimization often raises conversion more than additional traffic.
App Store is not Play Store
Apple and Google rate apps by different factors and offer different listing fields. An effective ASO strategy treats both stores separately and exploits their respective mechanics deliberately.
Your benefits
- Higher visibility in store search through targeted keywords
- More downloads at the same traffic through better conversion
- Separately optimized listings for App Store and Play Store
- Data-driven A/B tests instead of gut decisions
- Better ratings and reviews through structured processes
- Transparent monitoring and reporting of the development
