Play Store & App Store Optimization (ASO)

What is ASO?

App Store Optimization (ASO) is the process of improving the visibility, discoverability, and conversion rate of your mobile app within app marketplaces like:

  • Google Play Store (for Android)

     

  • Apple App Store (for iOS)

     

Just like SEO helps websites rank on Google, ASO helps apps rank higher for relevant search queries and increases installs organically.

Goals of ASO

  • Rank higher in search results
