ASO is set of activities to get higher rank of your app in
app store’s search results, whether is it APP store (iOS)
or Google Play (Android).

description,
keywords, etc.
ASO covers all elements.

considerably faster process of application update.
Keywords in the description can help in Google Play
optimization, while on APP store it is not taken into
account.

if your application is free, ASO will increase
the download – 100 to 800 per day,
improves search discovery,
increase in revenues from
downloads – If your application
is payable on download (from 1$ to 500$).

very good start. Number of available Android apps
(this figure varies from day to day).
12. Keywords
This is very important.
The first step you need to do is to look what are people
looking for in your area.
For that you can use Google Adwords Keyword
Tool. This tool will show you which keywords people
search - both on the Internet and on the application
markets.
13. For example, if you have application about abs
exercises, you would like to know is more searched
phrase “Abs exercises” or maybe “Exercises for abs”. In
addition, Google’s Keyword Tool can be useful if you
want to see what type of application users are typically
looking for. If there is keyword that users are quite a
lot looking for, and there is a little competition, there
you can search your chance. Besides, what kind of
keywords are searched, you can look at the market
application.

your mobile application name. Relevance is very

15. Name of developer
For better optimization it is recommended tying the
name of developer to the name of application. If you
have an application “Abs exercises”, and you put your
publisher name as “Crunches Dev”, you will be ranked
and for the “Abs” and for the “Crunches”.
16. Application icon
Icon does not affect the ranking of your application.
But, icon is very important, because this is first visual
thing that user see when they meet with your
application. The first impression is very important, so
make sure that if you know yourself to design a logo,
do it, or you can hire someone to do that for you. You
can use App icon Maker (for iOS) to make app icons.

contribute to a better positioning of your application.
