Your app description is a key factor in the success

Your app description is the ASO optimization stage of the text part depending on the placement of your application. It will have similar steps, taking into account the specifics of Google Play or App Store.

One of the most basic stages of app optimization is working with fields that are indexed by the market or store, therefore, affecting the conversion from view to install.

The user makes a decision to download in 15 seconds - in such a short period he must understand whether your application is right for him. That is why working with the description, especially for Google Play, is an important part of the promotion strategy.

We always focus on a user who knows almost nothing about your app. Will the existing description be enough to make a decision? Focus on the user, because only you know everything about your app.

Suggested questions and thinking algorithm:

• What does your application do?
• What problem does this solve?
• How does this make life easier for your consumer?
• Why is it worth paying for it?

Text optimization for Google Play and App Store

Google Play - app description optimization

The specificity of the Google market is to work with fields such as name, short description and full description of the app. In addition to marketing goals, we pay attention to the emphasis on keywords, organically fit them into the texts, avoiding keyword stuffing, but also not missing the opportunity to make the most of metadata. The app description at Google Play is relevant not only for users, but also for the market ranking algorithm.

This does not mean that you can just put all your keywords in the description and wait for the magic to happen.

Try to naturally incorporate keywords into your text. This way, your description will be both attractive to readers and relevant to the algorithm.

Avoid keyword stuffing! Do not use keywords more than 1 time in 250 characters.

App Store - role of description

The specificity of the App Store is the absence of keywords indexing of your app description. But that does not mean you should ignore this metadata field. Use the opportunity to explain to the user the specifics and features of your application.

In addition, search engines will index your app in search, and users will be able to find you in Google or Yandex, which can become an additional source of traffic.

Conclusion

All in all, your description should be informative, easy to understand, and clearly structured. Use bulleted lists, emoticons - anything that helps the user and draws their attention to the necessary details. Just remember that the description is limited to 4000 characters at both stores.
