Gaining the app visibility that matters
Mistakes | Build | Measure | Engage
The Estimated Growth in Apps
From many apps on your phone,
how many do you actually use?
YOUR
STUNNING
IMAGE
Why Visibility Matters?
According to Google, in U.S out of
33 apps installed on an average,
people used only 1/3 of the apps
Some Discussions I’ve had
“I have uploaded app description,
and assets. They look just fine”
“Sigh! I lately got several bad
ratings on the app”
“I just made a new release of the
app, but i found people were not
aware of this update”
“I never updated my app. The last
time i updated the app was when i
launched the app few months back”
and…that Happy Moment when your app is ready
But what about Measuring Customer’s Life Time Value
What follows?
GETTING THE BASICS RIGHT
IT DOES MATTER
Know Who’s the Boss
https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy.html
A: Does your app hint what your app is about?
Here are some key points
Placing keyword in the title ‘could’ boost your rank
Keyword density is relevant to Android app titles
Repetition of keywords in title could work, but rarely
B: Pay attention to the App description formatting
Does it format well on mobile?
C:Get the first 3-lines of your app description right
D: Using the Keywords that Matter
But…watch your competitors
E: Is your icon scalable?
F: Designing Icon
Focusing on Single Character in case of game
Functional Apps
Beautiful Screenshots
Awesome Feature Image Impressive merging Communicate what your app does
Beautiful Screenshots
Simple, crisp and pleasing to eyes
Beautiful Screenshots
App feature screenshots
Beautiful Screenshots
Updating the screenshots & Emotional connect
A Big ‘NO’
Avoid repetitions
Text Heavy ?
Another Big ‘NO ’
Ask yourself “What are you trying
to convey? “
The Video adds to the topping
Context Video Feature Video
G: Should you choose to Localize?
Adding your own Translation
If not all, which ones?
Case Study: Zombie Ragdoll
Source: Google
By Search Observe the title Assets in Locale
Case Study: Zombie Ragdoll
Source: Google
Increased engagement
because of appeal of the
localized version
80% of installs came from
users of non-English languages
Think of ‘this’ before Localising
International Launch and Support
Is the name a trademark?
International User’s pattern of searching
Is translate possible?
Discoverability and usability ( marketing budget)
H: Do you respond to the (Bad) reviews?
So Far….

Design sreenshots that scream “Install me”
You have 3-4 seconds to catch user’s attention with your screenshot
Strategy differs for Apps & Games
Title and Description Matters. Focus on Keywords, Formatting and first 3 Lines
5 Strong Opening, Good Storyline & Script can work well for app trailers. Leverage Video Ad Platforms
6 Think Market when going global
Reply to all reviews reported7
