Proper store optimization for your app can mean the difference between a hit and an absolute dud. In this next episode of App Business Secrets, Abhinav Gupta shares his strategy he has coined T.R.I.C.K.S. Tricks stands for Title, Reviews, Icon, Customer, Keywords, Screenshots/Video. With this strategy Nav (Abhinav) hopes to show you how he has found success with his own games and apps.
This latest video is for the next letter in the acronym, K. Keywords. Nav's advice: Use localization! Most users will search the app stores in English, but many users will also search in other languages as well.
“An important part of any ASO strategy is selecting good targeted keywords! However this is usually a challenge as most new developers try and guess their way to the top. One technique I like to use is localization. Right off the bat, I'd recommend creating keywords in both English and Spanish if you're targeting the North American market. As always, keep in mind who your customer is so that you use the right keywords that are related to your app. Simply using the keyword "Angry" will not get you a high ranking nor downloads in today's market. “
