Localization

本地化优化

Google Play indexes descriptions per language. Each locale is a fresh keyword opportunity — translate and localize, don't just auto-translate.
Google Play会按语言收录描述索引。每个地区都是全新的关键词机会——请进行本地化翻译,不要仅使用自动翻译。

Keyword Research for Play Store

Play Store关键词研究

Use Appeeky keyword tools, then adapt for Play:
bash
GET /v1/keywords/metrics?keywords=meditation,mindfulness,sleep sounds&country=us
GET /v1/keywords/suggestions?term=meditation&country=us
Play-specific considerations:
  • Long-tail phrases work well (full description is indexed)
  • Semantic similarity matters — Google's algorithm understands synonyms
  • User reviews and Q&A also get indexed — common words in reviews can signal keywords
使用Appeeky关键词工具,再针对Play Store进行调整:
bash
GET /v1/keywords/metrics?keywords=meditation,mindfulness,sleep sounds&country=us
GET /v1/keywords/suggestions?term=meditation&country=us
Play Store专属注意事项:
  • 长尾短语效果出色(完整描述会被索引)
  • 语义相似度很重要——Google算法能理解同义词
  • 用户评论和问答也会被索引——评论中的常用词汇可作为关键词参考

Feature Graphic (1024×500px)

  • Show the core use case in one image

Ratings Strategy

评分策略

Unlike iOS, Play ratings are never reset — every rating ever given counts.
To improve your rating:
  1. Respond to every 1–3 star review (boosts score algorithmically)
  2. Reply invites re-rating — users can update their review
  3. Use
    review-management
    skill for response templates
  4. Fix the issues mentioned in low ratings and reply: "Fixed in version X.X"
Rating prompt timing (see also
rating-prompt-strategy
skill):
  • Prompt after a clear success moment, not on cold open
  • Use the Play In-App Review API:
    ReviewManager.requestReviewFlow()
与iOS不同,Play Store的评分永不重置——所有历史评分都会被计入。
提升评分的方法:
  1. 回复每一条1–3星的评论(算法层面会提升评分)
  2. 回复邀请用户重新评分——用户可以更新他们的评论
  3. 使用
    review-management
    技能获取回复模板
  4. 修复低评分中提到的问题,并回复:"已在X.X版本中修复"
评分提示时机(另可查看
rating-prompt-strategy
技能):
  • 在用户明确获得正向体验后再弹出提示,不要在冷启动时触发
  • 使用Play内置的In-App Review API:
    ReviewManager.requestReviewFlow()
