App store optimization

Organic installs that lower your cost per user

App store optimization (ASO) is SEO for the App Store and Google Play. The majority of app discovery still happens through store search and browsing, so ranking well and converting that visibility into installs is one of the most cost-effective growth levers for any app.

We optimize both how your app is found (keywords, category, ratings) and how it converts (title, icon, screenshots, description), then test continuously, growing organic installs and improving the efficiency of any paid user acquisition you run alongside.

The basics

What is app store optimization?

ASO is the process of improving an app's visibility and conversion in the App Store and Google Play. It has two sides: ranking for relevant search terms, and converting store-listing visitors into installs through compelling metadata and creative.

Like SEO, ASO is ongoing. We research the keywords users actually search, optimize your listing and creative around them, improve ratings and reviews, and A/B test store assets, steadily lifting both your store rankings and your install conversion rate.

Challenges we solve

App growth problems, solved

Nobody finds your app in search+

We research the keywords your users actually type and optimise your title, subtitle, and metadata around them, so your app surfaces for the searches that drive installs.

Lots of views but few installs+

A weak icon, screenshots, or description kills conversion. We test creative and store-listing copy to turn more of your impressions into downloads.

Poor ratings drag you down+

Ratings affect both ranking and conversion. We put review prompts and feedback loops in place to lift your score and surface issues before they cost you installs.

You're optimising blindly across two stores+

The App Store and Google Play rank apps differently. We tailor strategy to each platform's algorithm and metadata rules instead of using one generic approach.

Paid installs are getting expensive+

Organic ASO lowers your blended cost per install and makes your paid UA campaigns convert better by improving the store listing they send traffic to.

You can't tell what's moving the needle+

We track keyword rankings, impressions, conversion rate, and installs, and tie every change to the metrics that matter, so growth is measured, not guessed.

The bigger picture

ASO: the compounding engine for app growth

App store optimization is the closest thing mobile has to SEO: the ongoing work of ranking higher and converting better in the App Store and Google Play. With millions of apps competing and most discovery happening through store search, ASO decides whether your app gets found at all.

Visibility and conversion, working together

Great ASO is two disciplines at once. Keyword optimisation gets your app in front of the right searches, while creative and listing optimisation convince those visitors to install. We work both sides, because ranking for a term you don't convert is wasted, and converting traffic you never rank for is impossible.

It lowers the cost of every install

A well-optimised listing lifts organic installs and makes paid user-acquisition campaigns cheaper by converting more of the traffic they send. That blended efficiency is why ASO is one of the highest-leverage investments a mobile product can make.

A continuous, data-driven loop

Algorithms, competitors, and seasonality shift constantly. We treat ASO as an ongoing program of testing and iteration, monitoring rankings and conversion and adjusting metadata and creative so your growth compounds rather than stalls after launch.

ASO FAQ

ASO questions, answered

How long does ASO take?+

Keyword and metadata changes can move rankings within a couple of weeks, with stronger, compounding results over two to three months as ratings and relevance build.

Does ASO replace paid user acquisition?+

No, it complements it. Strong ASO lowers your blended cost per install and makes paid campaigns more efficient by improving store conversion for all traffic.

Do you optimize for both App Store and Google Play?+

Yes. We tailor strategy to each store's distinct ranking algorithm, metadata rules, and creative formats.

Can you help improve our ratings?+

Yes. We implement review-prompt strategies and reputation management to grow positive ratings, a key ranking and conversion factor.

What is the difference between ASO and SEO?+

SEO improves visibility in web search engines like Google, while ASO (App Store Optimization) improves your app's ranking and conversion inside the Apple App Store and Google Play. Both rely on keywords, but ASO also weighs ratings, downloads, retention, and store conversion rate. We often run them together so your app is discoverable on the web and in the stores.

Which app store factors actually affect ranking?+

On both stores the biggest levers are keyword relevance in your title and metadata, download velocity, ratings and reviews, and engagement signals like retention and uninstall rate. Apple and Google weight these differently, so we tune your title, subtitle, keyword field, and creatives per platform.

Does ASO help paid user acquisition too?+

Yes. A higher store conversion rate lowers your cost per install across Apple Search Ads and Google App Campaigns, because more of the traffic you pay for actually installs. Strong organic ASO makes every paid channel cheaper.

How do you research app keywords?+

We analyse search volume, difficulty, and competitor rankings using store data, then map high-intent terms to your title, subtitle, and keyword field. We also mine your reviews and competitor reviews for the language real users search with.

Can ASO recover an app with declining downloads?+

Often, yes. Declines usually trace to lost keyword rankings, weak creatives, or a drop in ratings. We audit each, refresh metadata and screenshots, fix the conversion leaks, and rebuild review velocity to stabilise and grow installs.
