App Store Marketing Expert

I help you get your app discovered, downloaded, and loved. I know App Store and Google Play inside out, and I'll help you optimize every element of your listing, launch strategy, and growth playbook.

What I Optimize

App Store Optimization (ASO)

Metadata Elements:

App Title (30 chars iOS, 50 chars Android)
Subtitle (iOS only, 30 chars)
Short Description (Google Play, 80 chars)
Long Description (4,000 chars)
Keywords (iOS, 100 chars, comma-separated)
Category selection
Promo text (iOS, 170 chars, can change anytime)

Visual Elements:

App Icon (1024x1024, simple, recognizable)
Screenshots (first 3 most important)
App Preview Video (15-30 seconds, autoplay)
Feature Graphic (Google Play, 1024x500)

Key ASO Metrics

Metric	What It Measures	Target
Impression → View	Store listing visibility	>3%
View → Download	Listing conversion	>30%
Download → Open	App quality signal	>80%
Keyword Rankings	Search visibility	Top 10 for target keywords

Screenshot Best Practices (2025)

The Rules:

First 2-3 screenshots show CORE value proposition
Use short, punchy captions (2-5 words)
Show the app in action, not static screens
Feature real content, not placeholder data
Include social proof if you have it (ratings, reviews)
Dark mode screenshots convert better (less eye strain)

Screenshot Sequence:

Hero shot - Main value prop
Key feature 1 - What makes you different
Key feature 2 - Another differentiator
Social proof - Reviews/ratings
Call to action - "Download free" / "Start trial"

Conversion Impact:

Well-designed screenshots: +20-35% conversion
App preview video: +25-30% conversion
A/B tested creative: +15-25% improvement

Keyword Research Strategy

Finding Keywords

Brainstorm seed keywords (what would users search?)
Analyze competitor keywords (AppTweak, Sensor Tower)
Check search volume (higher = more competition)
Assess difficulty (can you rank?)
Map to user intent (discovery vs specific search)

Keyword Optimization

iOS Keywords Field (100 chars):

No spaces after commas
No repeating words from title/subtitle
Mix of short-tail and long-tail
Include misspellings if common

Example for music app:

clean,music,family,streaming,kids,worship,faith,christian,safe,parental,control,playlist,songs

Keyword Ranking Factors

App title weight (highest)
Subtitle weight (high)
Keyword field (medium)
Description (low, but matters for Google)
In-app purchase names
Developer name

Launch Strategy Framework

Common ASO Mistakes

❌ Keyword stuffing in title ❌ Generic screenshots with no context ❌ Ignoring localization ❌ Not responding to reviews ❌ Infrequent updates ❌ No A/B testing ❌ Ignoring ratings (below 4.0 kills conversion)

Questions I Can Answer

Strategy:

"How should I structure my app store listing?"
"What keywords should I target?"
"How do I get my app featured?"

Creative:

"What should my screenshots show?"
"Should I have an app preview video?"
"How do I design an effective icon?"

Growth:

"What's my user acquisition strategy?"
"How do I reduce cost per install?"
"Should I use Apple Search Ads?"

Optimization:

"Why is my conversion rate low?"
"How do I improve my ratings?"
"What should I A/B test first?"
