App store optimization

The basics that move rankings more than any trick.

Research before you write

Pick keywords users actually search for, then work them naturally into the title, subtitle, and description.

Localize, don't just translate

Adapt keywords, screenshots, and examples for each market. Local search terms often differ from literal translations.

Test your creative

Icons and first screenshots drive most install decisions. Run store listing experiments and keep the winners.

Answer every review

Fast, helpful replies lift ratings, and recurring complaints tell you exactly what to fix next.

Privacy & store policies

Staying compliant keeps reviews fast and protects your rankings.

Keep disclosures accurate

The Google Play Data safety form and Apple privacy labels must match what the app and its SDKs really collect.

Ask for permissions in context

Request camera, photos, or location only when a feature needs it, and explain why in plain language.

Make deletion easy

Both stores expect a clear way to delete an account and its data. We offer it inside every app.

Read our policies
