Want to make your app stand out from the competition?
Do you want your mobile app to stay above other apps on iTunes or Google Play? App name: App name has a great impact on app store optimization (ASO). It is very important to have a descriptive name for your mobile app. The name should contain the keywords because people looking for your services or products should be able to search your app on Apple store or Google Play. Usually, the apps have 2 names – One shorter and other one should be longer. For example: If you have an app for tattooing, you can name it as Get Tattooed – Get a wow feeling with tattoo. One needs to be wise while selecting the name of the app. The main aim of any app is to increase the number of downloads. App Keywords: Keywords play a major role for ASO. It’s a good idea to spend some time researching for your competitors’ apps and their descriptions. You may get great ideas from the competitor apps. You do not need to repeat your app name in the description. App description: This is the most important part for ASO. Add punchy and eye catchy lines in the description of the app. Be short and sweet while describing what is the app all about. Always give the facts, features and sell the concept of the mobile app. App icon: If you want to provide an icon for your app, you should go for a graphic which defines the purpose of the website. Make it readable and clear. Reviews / rate the app: You should encourage the users to rate / review your app. If you want to have maximum downloads, you should have an option for the customers to rate or review the app. You can encourage your family and friends to rate your application. This creates a good impression on the potential clients. Have relevant screenshots: There’s no point in having useless screen shots that make your app slower. You should select the screenshots that reveal the story and the purpose of the application. Pick the best functionalities of the apps and use it for screenshots. You must ensure that the first screenshot is the best one to attract the users and make them download the app. See Also: RateMyPhoto App for iPhone, Korea Tennis App for iPad/iPhone
