App Store Optimization (ASO) & App Growth Services

Publishing an app is the start, not the finish. We improve your store listing, first-session experience and retention messaging so more of the right people find your app, install it and come back.

Why app marketing is different from website SEO

Different channel, different ranking signals.

iOS: the App Store

Ranking leans on the app name, subtitle, keyword field, ratings and how people engage with the app. Screenshots and the description help convert views into installs.

Android: Google Play

Google Play uses the title, short and full description, ratings and engagement. The listing text is widely reported to be used for search, so wording matters.

Web apps: SEO

A web app is found through search engines, so page content, links and technical SEO drive discovery. This is a separate discipline from ASO.

Digital marketing alone is not enough

Ads and social posts can send people to your store page, but a weak listing wastes that traffic. ASO makes sure the page converts.

Marketing continues after install

Onboarding, push notifications and in-app messages decide whether a new user becomes a returning one.

Measure, then adjust

Store analytics and in-app events show what to change next.

Store listing limits to plan around

Character limits we write to. Always check the current store documentation before publishing.

Apple App Store

Name: 30 characters. Subtitle: 30 characters. Keyword field: 100 bytes. Promotional text: 170 characters. Description: 4,000 characters. Up to 10 screenshots.

Google Play

Title: 30 characters. Short description: 80 characters. Full description: 4,000 characters. 2 to 8 screenshots. Feature graphic: 1024 x 500.

ASO checklist

The basics we review in every audit.

1. Name, subtitle and title

Say clearly what the app does, include the most important keyword naturally, and stay inside the character limits.

2. Keyword research

Choose terms people actually search for and that you can realistically compete for. Avoid repeating the same word across fields on iOS, since the keyword field is limited to 100 bytes.

3. Description and promotional text

Lead with the benefit, write for people first and keywords second, and keep claims honest.

4. Screenshots and preview video

Show the core value in the first two or three screenshots with short, readable captions.

5. Ratings and reviews

Ask for a rating after a positive moment, not at first launch, and reply to reviews.

6. Localisation

Translate the listing for the markets you target, for example Arabic for the UAE, instead of relying on one English listing.

First session: splash and onboarding

Most of the decision to stay happens in the first minutes.

Splash screen

Keep it short and fast. It should load the app, not delay it.

Onboarding

Show the one thing the app does best, ask for permissions only when they make sense, and let people reach the first useful result quickly.

Retention: push notifications and in-app messages

Messages that are relevant and in moderation bring users back. Too many make them leave.

Push notifications

Trigger on useful events such as an order update or a saved item, and let users choose what they receive.

In-app banners

Promote a feature or offer inside the app at the moment it is relevant, without interrupting the task.

Promotional messages

Segment by behaviour so a new user and a returning user see different messages.

Measurement

You cannot improve what you do not track.

Store analytics

App Store Connect and Google Play Console show impressions, product page views and installs, so you can see whether listing changes help.

In-app analytics events

We set up events for key steps such as onboarding completed and first action, so you can see where users drop off.

Frequently asked questions

What is App Store Optimization (ASO)?

ASO is the work of improving how an app appears and ranks in the App Store and Google Play, and how well the listing turns views into installs. It covers the name, subtitle or short description, keywords, description, screenshots and ratings.

How is ASO different from website SEO?

A website ranks in Google search because of its pages, links and content. An app ranks inside the App Store or Google Play based on its store listing, keywords, installs, ratings and engagement. Web apps rely on SEO, iOS apps on the App Store and Android apps on Google Play, so each channel needs its own approach.

Can you promise rankings or downloads?

No. Nobody can promise a ranking or a number of installs. We improve the things you control, such as the listing, the first session and retention messaging, and we measure the effect with analytics.

Do you do Arabic listings for the UAE?

Yes. We can prepare Arabic store listings and screenshot copy for UAE audiences, alongside the English listing.

Do you only work on apps you built?

No. We can audit and improve the listing of an existing app, whoever built it.
