ADVICE

Avoid Brand & Competitive Keywords

  • Avoid targeting brand terms in your ASO efforts since ranking second won't increase your downloads.
  • Do not pursue highly competitive, high-traffic keywords if your app has few ratings.
ADVICE

Use AppAdvice Campaigns Boldly

  • Don't overthink running free deal campaigns like AppAdvice; they can significantly boost downloads without hurting your app's algorithm.
  • The surge in ratings and feedback from these campaigns benefits your ASO and user engagement.
ADVICE

Diversify Marketing Channels

  • Diversify your app's user acquisition beyond ASO by exploring communities and platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Reddit.
  • Avoid reliance on a single marketing channel to mitigate risk from algorithm changes or privacy updates.
