Initial Assessment

初始评估

  1. Check for
    app-marketing-context.md
    — read for app, audience, and core value
  2. Ask for the App ID and platform(s) — iOS, Android, or both
  3. Ask if they have existing screen recordings or need to capture fresh
  4. Ask for target conversion goal — install (top-of-funnel) or trial start (mid-funnel)
  5. Ask for localization scope — English only, or which markets
  1. 检查是否存在
    app-marketing-context.md
    ——读取有关应用、受众和核心价值的信息
  2. 询问 App ID 和 平台——iOS、Android 或两者
  3. 询问是否已有现有屏幕录制,还是需要重新录制
  4. 询问转化目标——安装(漏斗顶部)还是开始试用(漏斗中部)
  5. 询问本地化范围——仅提供英语,还是面向特定市场

The 30-Second Video Structure

30 秒视频结构

Use this beat-by-beat template (works for both platforms with adjustments):
TimeBeatiOS RulePlay Rule
0:00–0:02Hook — show the outcome, not the appIn-app footage onlyCan use logo/intro, max 3s
0:02–0:08Problem framing — text overlay states the painText on app footageCan cut to lifestyle b-roll
0:08–0:20Core feature demo — the "how it works" walkthroughReal screen recording, sped up 1.25–1.5× OKSame
0:20–0:26Social proof / breadth — quick cuts of other features, ratings, resultsMust be in-app screensCan show review screenshots
0:26–0:30Resolution + CTA frameShow outcome state, no "Download Now" CTA (Apple rejects)"Get it free" CTA OK
Poster frame choice (iOS): must be visually striking, no text-heavy. The 0:00 frame is what 80% of users see.
请使用以下逐节拍模板(经调整后可用于两个平台):
时间节拍iOS 规则Play 规则
0:00–0:02Hook——展示结果,而不是应用本身仅限应用内素材可以使用 Logo/片头,最长 3 秒
0:02–0:08问题呈现——通过文字叠加说明痛点文字叠加在应用素材上可以切换为生活场景 B-roll
0:08–0:20核心功能演示——“运作方式”操作演示真实屏幕录制,可加速至 1.25–1.5×相同
0:20–0:26社会证明 / 功能广度——快速切换其他功能、评分和结果必须使用应用内画面可以展示评价截图
0:26–0:30结果呈现 + CTA 画面展示结果状态,不要使用“Download Now”CTA(Apple 会拒审)可以使用“Get it free”CTA
**海报帧选择(iOS):**必须视觉醒目,不要堆叠过多文字。0:00 帧是 80% 用户会看到的画面。

3-Variant Strategy (iOS)

3 变体策略(iOS)

Apple lets you upload 3 App Previews. Don't make 3 of the same — diversify by hook:
VariantHook angleWhen iOS shows it
A — OutcomeResult-led ("Sleep better in 7 days")Default first preview
B — DemoFeature walkthrough — pure UXSecond
C — Social proofNumbers, results, testimonials in-appThird
User can reorder. Default to Outcome first unless category demands demo (e.g. complex tools).
Apple 允许你上传 3 个 App Preview。不要让 3 个版本完全相同——应按 Hook 角度进行差异化:
变体Hook 角度iOS 展示时机
A — Outcome(结果)结果导向(“7 天睡得更好”)默认的首个预览
B — Demo(演示)功能操作演示——纯 UX第二个
C — Social proof(社会证明)数字、成果、应用内用户评价第三个
用户可以重新排序。除非应用类别需要 Demo(例如复杂工具),否则默认将 Outcome 放在首位。

Production Checklist

制作检查清单

Before submission:
  • Captured at native device resolution
  • No "Download Now", "Available on App Store", or app icon overlays (Apple guideline 2.3.10)
  • No marketing-only intro card (Apple) — Play Store OK
  • Audio either purposeful with captions, or removed entirely
  • Poster frame doesn't show text being typed mid-word
  • Tested how it looks in search results card (small) and product page (large)
  • Each variant uploaded to its own slot (don't replace, add)
  • Localized variants for at least top 3 markets if international
提交前:
  • 以设备原生分辨率录制
  • 不得出现“Download Now”(立即下载)、“Available on App Store”(现已上架 App Store)等文案或叠加 App 图标(Apple guideline 2.3.10)
  • 不得使用纯营销开场卡(Apple);Play Store 可以使用
  • 音频要么有明确作用并配字幕,要么完全移除
  • 海报帧中不要出现文字正打到一半的输入状态
  • 已测试其在 搜索结果卡片(小尺寸)和 产品页面(大尺寸)中的显示效果
  • 每个变体分别上传到自己的栏位(新增,不要替换)
  • 国际化应用至少为前 3 大市场制作本地化变体

Common Rejection Reasons (Apple)

常见拒审原因(Apple)

IssueFix
Real people / hands shownStrip them — in-app footage only
Marketing logo/intro cardRemove first 1–2 seconds
"Download" CTA at endReplace with outcome state
Footage doesn't match current app versionRe-record after each major UI change
Audio narration without captionsAdd burned-in captions or remove audio
问题修复方式
出现真人或手部画面移除这些内容——仅保留应用内素材
营销 Logo/开场卡移除开头 1–2 秒
结尾出现“Download”CTA替换为结果状态
素材与当前应用版本不一致每次重大 UI 变更后重新录制
音频旁白没有字幕添加烧录字幕或移除音频

Localization Strategy

本地化策略

  • Tier 1 (English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Chinese): localize text overlays + re-record with localized in-app strings
  • Tier 2 (other top-grossing markets): localize text overlays only, keep in-app footage in English if app is partially localized
  • Tier 3: skip — single global video
Cost-benefit: a localized video typically lifts conversion 8–15% in that market vs the default English video.
  • Tier 1(英语、日语、德语、法语、西班牙语、中文):本地化文字叠加内容,并使用已本地化的应用内文案重新录制
  • Tier 2(其他收入贡献最高的市场):仅本地化文字叠加内容;如果应用仅实现了部分本地化,可保留应用内的英语素材
  • Tier 3:跳过——使用同一个全球通用视频
成本效益:相较默认英语视频,本地化视频通常可在该市场将转化率提升 8–15%。

A/B Testing

A/B 测试

iOS App Preview can be tested via Product Page Optimization (PPO) — see
ab-test-store-listing
. Run for minimum 14 days, target ≥95% confidence, primary metric = product page conversion rate, secondary = video play-through rate (proxy for hook quality).
iOS App Preview 可以通过 Product Page Optimization (PPO) 进行测试——参阅
ab-test-store-listing
。测试至少运行 14 天,目标置信度 ≥95%;主要指标 = 产品页转化率,次要指标 = 视频播放完成率(用于代理评估 Hook 质量)。
