Level Up Your Conversion Rates - Live Product Page Teardown #ASO
In this live stream, Ariel conducts a detailed teardown of several app product pages, offering actionable advice on improving conversion rates through better App Store Optimization (ASO), keyword targeting, and screenshot design. He also answers audience questions and shares tips on using data-driven strategies to boost app visibility and downloads.
Hello everyone! Today, we’re diving into a product page teardown that promises to be really interesting. We’ll be examining apps submitted by you, focusing not just on the name and subtitle—where I typically look for keywords—but also on the screenshots. A few months ago, I conducted a screenshot teardown that received great feedback, and many users reported increased downloads as a result. This time, we’ll explore how all these elements work together, especially as we move beyond just keywords and Apple Search Ads campaigns.
Understanding App Store Optimization
When a user lands on your app's product page, the ultimate question is whether they will download your app. Even in the best scenarios, conversion rates are rarely 100%. Therefore, today, we’ll analyze what drives users to download your app beyond just discovering it. I’ve selected eight apps to review, and I’ll do my best to get through all of them. As always, feel free to ask questions in the chat, and I’ll address them as we go along.
App 1: Do Everything - Tasks and Journal
The first app we’re looking at is "Do Everything - Tasks and Journal." The screenshots are straightforward, showcasing features like planning your day, journaling, and creating lists. However, the first thing that struck me was the app icon. It resembles many other to-do list apps, which may lead to confusion. If users see multiple similar icons, they might overlook yours entirely.
Key Takeaway: Your app icon is crucial for visibility. It should stand out and not blend in with competitors.
Next, the keywords in the app's name and description need to be focused. Currently, the app tries to cover too many areas—tasks, journals, planners, and reminders. This lack of focus can dilute your app's visibility. Instead, consider honing in on a specific feature or function that sets your app apart.
Screenshot Alignment: The screenshots should reflect the keywords and features mentioned in the app's name. For instance, if "planning" is not a keyword in your name, it shouldn’t be the first screenshot. Continuity between your app's name, keywords, and screenshots is essential for user trust and conversion.
App 2: Hike Maker - Unlimited Walking Routes
Moving on to "Hike Maker," which focuses on unlimited walking routes. The icon is unique, which is a positive aspect. However, the keywords need improvement. Currently, "walking routes" has a low popularity score, indicating that it may not be the best choice for visibility.
Keyword Strategy: Aim for more popular keywords related to hiking, such as "hiking trails" or "hiking maps." The algorithm doesn’t differentiate between "hike" and "hiking," so using the more popular term can help improve visibility.
Screenshot Suggestions: The screenshots should clearly communicate the app's purpose. If the first screenshot shows a recognizable location, consider localizing it for different markets to enhance relatability.
App 3: Bass Equalizer Volume Booster
Next, we have "Bass Equalizer Volume Booster." The icon feels generic and unpolished, which may deter potential users. Design matters, especially in a competitive space.
Focus on Keywords: The app's keywords are scattered. While "volume booster" is a strong keyword, "bass equalizer" is less relevant. Concentrate on the most impactful keywords to improve search visibility.
Social Proof: If the app has received positive reviews, consider incorporating snippets of these reviews into the screenshots. Social proof can significantly influence user decisions.
App 4: Manage Subscriptions - Orbit
"Manage Subscriptions - Orbit" is designed to help users track their subscriptions. The name is clear, but the app currently lacks visibility in search results.
Improving Discovery: The app needs more ratings to compete effectively. Consider using Apple Ads to gain initial traction.
Screenshot Optimization: The screenshots should simplify the messaging. Instead of overwhelming users with information, focus on the key benefits of using the app.
App 5: Anxiety and Panic Relief by Calmer
Finally, we have "Anxiety and Panic Relief by Calmer." This app enters a crowded market, making focus crucial.
Keyword Focus: The app's name includes multiple keywords, which can confuse the algorithm. Consider focusing on one primary keyword, such as "anxiety relief," to improve searchability.
Screenshot Clarity: The screenshots should evoke calmness and simplicity. Avoid clutter and ensure that the messaging aligns with the app's purpose.
Conclusion
As we wrap up today’s teardown, keep in mind that app store optimization is an iterative process. Focus on refining your keywords, improving your app's design, and ensuring that your screenshots align with your messaging.
If you have any questions or want to submit your app for next week’s teardown, please drop them in the comments. I’ll be back next Wednesday at 10:30 AM Eastern Time for another session. Thank you for joining, and I look forward to seeing you next week!
