Optimization Framework

优化框架

Title Optimization

标题优化

Goal: Include the #1 target keyword naturally with your brand name.
Formulas that work:
  • [Brand] - [Primary Keyword]
    (e.g., "Calm - Sleep & Meditation")
  • [Brand]: [Benefit Phrase]
    (e.g., "Duolingo: Language Lessons")
  • [Primary Keyword] [Brand]
    (e.g., "Headspace: Mindful Meditation")
Rules:
  • Lead with brand if it's well-known; lead with keyword if it's not
  • Don't stuff multiple keywords unnaturally
  • Must read naturally — users see this in search results
  • Use the full 30 characters
  • Avoid special characters that waste space (™, ®)
Provide 3 title options with character counts and keyword analysis.
目标: 自然地将首要目标关键词与品牌名称结合。
有效公式:
  • [品牌] - [主要关键词]
    (例如,“Calm - Sleep & Meditation”)
  • [品牌]: [收益短语]
    (例如,“Duolingo: Language Lessons”)
  • [主要关键词] [品牌]
    (例如,“Headspace: Mindful Meditation”)
规则:
  • 如果品牌知名度较高,则以品牌名称开头;否则以关键词开头
  • 不要生硬地塞入多个关键词
  • 必须读起来自然——用户会在搜索结果中看到这些内容
  • 用满 30 个字符
  • 避免会浪费字符空间的特殊符号(™、®)
提供 3 个标题选项,并附上字符数和关键词分析。

Subtitle Optimization (iOS)

副标题优化 (iOS)

Goal: Add secondary keywords that complement the title.
Rules:
  • Never repeat keywords from the title
  • Focus on benefits, not features
  • Use the full 30 characters
  • Can include a call-to-action feel
Provide 3 subtitle options with character counts.
目标: 添加与标题相辅相成的次要关键词。
规则:
  • 绝不重复标题中已有的关键词
  • 聚焦于用户收益,而非产品功能
  • 用满 30 个字符
  • 可以营造行动号召的感觉
提供 3 个副标题选项,并附上字符数。

Keyword Field (iOS)

关键词字段 (iOS)

Goal: Maximize keyword coverage in 100 characters.
Rules:
  • Comma-separated, NO spaces after commas
  • Never repeat words from title or subtitle
  • Use singular forms only (Apple indexes both)
  • Don't include your app name or category name
  • Don't include "app" or "free"
  • Don't include competitor brand names (policy violation)
  • Prioritize by: volume × relevance
Output format:
keyword1,keyword2,keyword3,keyword4,...
Characters used: [X]/100
目标: 在 100 个字符内最大化关键词覆盖范围。
规则:
  • 使用逗号分隔,逗号后不要加空格
  • 不要重复标题或副标题中的词语
  • 仅使用单数形式(Apple 会同时为单数和复数形式建立索引)
  • 不要包含应用名称或类别名称
  • 不要包含“app”或“free”
  • 不要包含竞争对手的品牌名称(违反政策)
  • 按搜索量 × 相关性确定优先级
输出格式:
keyword1,keyword2,keyword3,keyword4,...
已使用字符数: [X]/100

Description (iOS — Conversion Focus)

描述 (iOS——侧重转化)

Structure:
  1. Hook (first 3 lines) — This is all users see before "more". Make it count.
  2. Social proof — Awards, press mentions, user count, rating
  3. Key features — 4-6 bullet points with benefits, not just features
  4. How it works — Simple 3-step explanation
  5. Testimonial or review quote — Real user voice
  6. CTA — Clear call to download
Rules:
  • First 170 characters are critical (visible without tapping "more")
  • Use line breaks and emoji for scannability
  • Focus on benefits ("Sleep better tonight") not features ("White noise generator")
  • Include social proof early
结构:
  1. 引导语(前 3 行)——用户点击“更多”之前只能看到这些内容。务必抓住重点。
  2. 社会证明——奖项、媒体报道、用户数量、评分
  3. 核心功能——4–6 个要点,突出用户收益,而不只是罗列功能
  4. 工作方式——用简单的 3 个步骤进行说明
  5. 用户感言或评价引述——真实用户的声音
  6. CTA——清晰的下载行动号召
规则:
  • 前 170 个字符至关重要(用户无需点击“更多”即可看到)
  • 使用换行和 emoji 提升可读性
  • 聚焦于收益(“今晚睡得更好”),而非功能(“白噪音生成器”)
  • 尽早加入社会证明

Description (Android — SEO + Conversion)

描述 (Android——SEO + 转化)

Same structure as iOS, but also:
  • Include target keywords naturally throughout (2-3% density)
  • Front-load keywords in the first paragraph
  • Use keyword variations and synonyms
  • Don't keyword stuff — Google penalizes this
与 iOS 使用相同的结构,但还需要:
  • 在全文中自然地融入目标关键词(密度为 2–3%)
  • 在第一段中优先使用关键词
  • 使用关键词变体和同义词
  • 不要堆砌关键词——Google 会对此进行降权处理

Promotional Text (iOS)

推广文本 (iOS)

Goal: Timely messaging that doesn't require app review.
Use for:
  • Seasonal promotions ("New Year, New You — 50% off Premium")
  • Feature launches ("Now with AI-powered recommendations")
  • Awards or milestones ("Apple Design Award Winner 2026")
  • Events ("Live coverage of WWDC starts Monday")
目标: 及时传达信息,并且无需等待应用审核。
适用场景:
  • 季节性促销(“新年,新气象——Premium 享 50% 折扣”)
  • 功能发布(“现已支持 AI 驱动的推荐”)
  • 获奖或里程碑(“2026 年 Apple Design Award 获奖者”)
  • 活动(“WWDC 现场直播将于周一启动”)
