App Store Optimisation Tips for Higher App Rankings

Apps are growing in popularity, providing businesses with an opportunity to reach their audience, improving visibility and user experience. At the same time, many app entrepreneurs face challenges when it comes to making their apps stand out in app stores. There are millions of apps all trying to gain attention. App store optimisation is more than making your app visible, it's a strategic process that boosts your app ranking, helping to improve downloads, and improve success.

Keywords

Keywords are essential and the foundation to discovering your discoverability in app stores. Keywords are what connects the user to your app. When you choose the right keywords, you boost your visibility in the app store, increasing your chances of a download.

This involves comprehensive keyword research, using tools to identify what keywords are being used that is relevant to your app and target audience. You also need to place your keyword in your app title, along with description. Bear in mind your app title is important to your ranking in app store results.

Visual Elements

You will want to create a visually appealing store front for your app. Visual elements help to capture the users attention and increase downloads. This includes your app icon, preview, videos, along with screen shots of your app. 

This step involves creating an eye-catching icon, creating compelling screen shots, and engaging preview videos that will catch your users attention and encourage downloads.

Encourage Reviews

You may see reviews from users as feedback on how your app is performing and identifying areas of improvement, but reviews and ratings are powerful tools that impact your app success. Positive reviews boost credibility, helping improve your ranking in app stores, boosting visibility and downloads.

This step involves replying to all reviews in a timely manner, ask happy customers to review your app in the store and incorporate any feedback into your updates. Do not ignore negative reviews and don't add fake reviews. Ensure you take the time to personalise each response, offering a solution to any problems users face when using your app.

Localisation

App localisation requires you to adapt your content and functionality to meet different regions, cultures, and languages. This powerful strategy expands your reach, helping you reach a global audience. 

This step involves adding language translation to ensure your app is culturally relevant and understood by your target region. Elements such as currency, measuring units, date formats, and more help you align with local preferences. This means understanding local market trends and user behaviour, then tailoring your app to meet the users preferences.

Monitoring and Updates

Regular updates are important to the maintenance and improvement of your ranking in app stores. Updates tell users your app is evolving and improving, addressing their needs, while incorporating the latest technologies.

This final step involves regularly updating your app, fixing bugs, and improving features. Ensuring your app is fast, responsive, and bug-free. This is effective in boosting rankings, giving your app a competitive edge, and helping you align with your audiences needs.

Conclusion

With effective app store optimisation, you can boost your ranking in app results, ensuring you reach your target audience, and encourage them to download your app. This involves a strategy process of keyword optimisation, visual enhancements, reviews, content localisation, and regular monitoring and updates. Keep in mind that this is an ongoing process, ensuring you stay tuned into your users needs and market trends, to remain competitive.
