Mobile App Promotion: Essential Tips for Boosting Visibility and Engagement

The mobile software industry has long employed clever methods to attract customers. Some target users' wallets, others their intellect, and some appeal to their favorite things. Let's consider a list of tips and recommendations for user acquisition and retention.

The ranking is a crucial factor for retention, encompassing:

1. The number of downloads in seven days

2. Total downloads

3. Number of crashes

4. User ratings

5. Uninstall count

6. Frequency of use by users

7. Reviews

These factors contribute to an overall rating of the utility on Google Play or the App Store. The higher the scores, the more popular the application.

ASO Optimization

You've created and launched your app, but there's no traffic. Did you pay attention to ASO (App Store Optimization)? If not, let's break down the term ASO and how it can be applied step by step.

ASO, or App Store Optimization, is a set of actions that influence the promotion of a program to increase downloads and user visits. It includes:

1. Title: Writing the page title

2. Keywords: Keywords used by search engines

3. Description: A brief introduction to the main themes of the page

To optimize your program, consider to do the following steps

Keywords research

Choose keywords frequently used by users in search queries, optimize them, and evenly distribute them throughout the text of the utility/product.

Choosing the program's keywords can be a complex process. It's convenient to use third-party programs like WordStat, which display a list of words frequently used by customers. For example, "transportation vehicle" appears less often than "car" or "automobile." Some utilities analyze keywords in the App Store for Google Play, showing words used exclusively in these applications.

Key promotion rules in markets include

• Creating a shortlist of positive features

• Providing evidence of advantages (screenshots)

• Inserting descriptions into the screenshots

• Creating an intriguing icon for the software's shortcut

Choosing a program name is crucial. Look for the perfect combination of keywords and something fun, unique, and emotionally appealing to those who see it.

Visualization of the Program

This is a mandatory action aimed at attracting an audience and includes creating attractive visuals, providing reliable and essential information, designing a pleasant interface, and avoiding excessive advertising spam that may deter users.

The design and layout are straightforward. The creator selects an appealing color scheme, highlights the main tabs in the system, creates lists, and evenly distributes information.

User Acquisition

This paragraph is dedicated to the key point – increasing live software traffic. There are various ways to attract users:

Popular social networks

Social networks like Instagram or Facebook serve as universal advertising platforms. Avoid excessive content, be concise and professional, and don't pressure users. An ideal integration may look like this:

• A concise list of utility benefits

• Screenshots

• An installation call-to-action and a link to the source

Involve media

Analytics recommends using print and online media. Mandatory rules for publishing in print media:

1. Create high-quality product images

2. Act as an expert in the software's field

3. Avoid clichés like "Best utility!" or "Unique in its kind!" Describe only useful qualities.

App creation story

Create an engaging story about the software's development:

• Describe the idea's inception

• Dedicate time to the people and things that inspired you

• Were there challenges? That's what's needed! The information should be concise and appealing. Place it on the software's main page; it will attract maximum views.

Television

If the budget allows, create a high-quality video. If not, record a video on your smartphone at home. Find the optimal channel for promoting your integration and don't limit yourself to just one channel.

Targeting

1. Release an organic, free app

2. Gain popularity and release a paid version with more features

3. Pricing depends on competition. 

4. Study the market, and analyze competitors' prices.
