I have recently published my App in the App Store and was wondering if you guys knew any good books or websites where i could get some information regarding App Store optimization :confused:
Coming from doing a lot of SEO i can understand how important ASO can become in the future as with the internet it was pretty similar, previously no one really gave a crap and later on it became essential to be able to rank in Google. :p

Do you guys do any App store Optimization?

Here are some articles i personally found useful:

More in-depth: searchenginejournal.com/definitive-guide-app-store-optimization-aso/78719/
A little more in-depth introduction: blog.kissmetrics.com/app-store-optimization/

Thanks! :good:

A small ASO guide

Both Apple’s App Store and the Google Play have a myriad number of apps and it’s very easy to get lost in the crowd. Good visibility on the App Store is thus essential and can be ensured by following certain key pointers while launching your app:

1. Keep the title short, self explanatory and keyword centric. The important thing is to limit it in one line. For this you have to be extra cautious on Google Play as the users’ Android phone screens may vary in sizes.

2. While writing the description for your app, just keep two things in mind. First, that users don’t like to read paragraphs if they don’t find the initial lines interesting. And second, use as many keywords as possible so that your app may spring up on searches more often.

3. Google play allows you to add demo videos of your app. Do make one, as many of your prospective users may not find the screenshots too descriptive. Keep the video short and emphasize on the user friendliness of your app.

4. Icon images should be striking to make you app stand out in the list and screenshots should signify the simplicity of your app.

First post and cheap straight ad, please don't do that!!!.

I really do not mind your post about your services, but at first, please give some real advice, talk about your experience, your clients and achievements before redirecting users, I think you know about that kind of things better than me.... I personally find your website (not sure you're owner or just an employee) really professional and informative and you probably know your job, but please don't do that kind of cheap ads in you first post at least my Indian friend.

in-depth advice

Hi everyone. I've also heard these things could work pretty well:

- Localizations on google play - what is the best way to do this?
- Have a strong youtube channel link to your app page?
- Google +1's - what is the best to generate this? does it influence rankings? Is there a place to buy "good" +1s
- Links to app page - does this work? good place to buy links?

Any advice here? Please PM me then.

Thanks!

Thanks for your tips.

For #2, what is the optimal length of description?
I made the description as simply as possible as people don't read text. But it is too short and seems it doesn't work well with SEO.

Rating and reviews is the first for me. Android use this for rate an app and put this on the top.

I think it'd be a good idea to use the same techniques as in SEO. Link building is essential. Post comments on blogs that are related to your app, or app development in general. That way you'll get more downloads :)
