App Store Optimization Services

App Store Optimization Services

Most apps pay for every install they get. Paid user acquisition costs climb every quarter, and the moment the budget pauses, downloads fall off a cliff. Meanwhile the store listing that could be earning installs for free sits untouched since launch: a keyword field filled in once by a developer, screenshots that show the settings screen, a title that describes the company rather than what the app does. Buyers decide in seconds on that page, and most of them decide no.

IMARC Amplify treats your store listing as the most valuable asset you own. We cover competitive auditing, keyword and store search strategy, metadata optimization, creative assets, listing experiments, ratings and reviews, localization across regions, and the analytics layer that separates organic performance from paid. The result is a listing that ranks for the searches that matter and converts the traffic it earns.

Our App Store Optimization Service Lines

ASO Audit and Competitive Benchmarking

Establish where your listing stands before changing anything. We assess metadata, creative, ratings, category positioning, and technical listing health across both stores, then benchmark against the apps you lose installs to. The audit produces a prioritized gap list rather than a generic scorecard.

Keyword and Store Search Strategy

Target the searches that produce installs, not the ones with the biggest numbers. We build keyword sets around relevance, difficulty, and install intent, accounting for how differently the two stores index text. High-volume terms you cannot rank for are deliberately left out of the plan.

Metadata Optimization

Rewrite every indexed field to earn both ranking and clicks. We optimize app name, subtitle, keyword field, short and long descriptions, and category selection, working within each store's character limits and indexing rules. Copy is written for a scanning user first and the algorithm second.

Creative Asset Optimization

Fix the assets that decide whether a visitor installs. We design icons, screenshot sequences, feature graphics, and preview videos that lead with the core value in the first frame, since most users never scroll past the first two screenshots. Every asset is built to be tested, not admired.

Store Listing Experiments and A/B Testing

Replace opinion with evidence. We run structured experiments through Play Console and Product Page Optimization on iOS, testing icons, screenshots, videos, and copy against conversion rate. Tests run to significance with one clear variable, so you learn what actually moved the number.

Ratings and Reviews Management

Protect the signal that gates every other improvement. We design in-app prompt timing that catches satisfied users, monitor review sentiment for recurring product complaints, and build response workflows for both stores. Rating strength influences ranking and conversion simultaneously, so it is treated as a core lever.

Localization and International Store Optimization

Grow installs in regions where your listing currently reads as foreign. We localize metadata and creative per storefront using region-specific keyword sets, rather than translating one listing into several languages. Cultural fit in screenshots often move conversion more than the translated copy does.

ASO Analytics, Attribution, and Reporting

Separate what ASO earned from what paid media bought. We configure App Store Connect, Play Console, and your attribution platform to isolate organic install performance, track keyword ranking movement, and report conversion rate by traffic source. You see which changes produced which gains.

Why IMARC Amplify for App Store Optimization Services

We run ASO as a continuous testing programme against organic install growth, not as a one-time metadata cleanup that decays after launch.

What We Provide

  • A dedicated ASO pod: a store search strategist, creative designer, experimentation lead, and analytics analyst, plus a single account lead
  • Both stores handled natively, with separate keyword logic and creative specifications rather than one listing copied across
  • In-house creative production, so screenshot and video variants exist in the volume proper testing requires
  • Organic performance isolated from paid in reporting, so you can see what your listing earns on its own
  • Localization built per storefront, with region-specific keyword sets rather than translated metadata

Our Approach

Conversion before ranking

A listing that ranks but does not convert wastes the traffic it earns, so we fix the page before chasing positions.

Eight service lines, one pod

Audit, keywords, metadata, creative, experimentation, reviews, localization, and analytics run under a single owner.

Tested, not assumed

Every creative and copy decision runs through a structured experiment before it becomes permanent.

Our App Store Optimization Process

Step 01

Audit

We benchmark your listing, metadata, creative, ratings, and category position against competing apps across both stores.

Step 02

Map

We build the keyword set, metadata plan, creative direction, and testing roadmap, sequenced by expected install impact.

Step 03

Implement

Our pod rewrites metadata, produces creative assets, and configures tracking, then ships the changes through your release cycle.

Step 04

Test

We run listing experiments on one variable at a time, measure against conversion rate, and keep only what wins.

Step 05

Scale

We expand into additional storefronts, languages, and keyword clusters once organic install performance holds steady.

Every engagement we take on is measured against outcomes that matter. Here is what that has looked like for the brands we work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

ASO decides how your app ranks and converts inside the App Store and Play Store, where the whole journey happens on one page. SEO works across the open web. The mechanics differ too, since each store indexes different fields and weights ratings heavily.
We optimize the Apple App Store and Google Play as the primary surfaces, including search results, category and browse placement, and featured consideration. Where relevant we also cover regional stores and web search results that surface app listings to users outside either platform.
Conversion issues come first, because ranking improvements only compound if the listing converts. We usually start with icon and screenshot testing, then metadata, then keyword expansion. Ratings problems jump the queue when they are suppressing both ranking and install rate simultaneously.
It opens with an audit and competitive benchmark, then a keyword and creative roadmap tied to your release cycle. Scope depends on the number of storefronts and languages, creative volume, whether both platforms are included, and your release cadence. We confirm during scoping.
Investment depends on how many storefronts and languages are in scope, whether one platform or both is included, the volume of creative needed for testing, and your release frequency. We scope precisely after the audit rather than quoting against untested assumptions.
Our designers produce all of it, in the variant volume that meaningful testing requires. If you have in-house creative, we supply direction, specifications, and testing framework instead. Either way, assets are built to be tested against conversion rates rather than approved on taste.
We report organic installs isolated from paid, store listing conversion rate, keyword ranking movement, and rating trajectory. Attribution setup separates browse traffic from search traffic, so improvements are traceable. Your pod reviews result with you and explains which experiment produced each gain.
Yes. Consumer apps compete on high-volume searches and visual appeal, so creative testing and rating strength carry most of the weight. B2B apps face lower search volume and longer evaluation, so we prioritize precise keyword targeting and screenshots that communicate specific capabilities.
Yes. We build region-specific keyword sets and localized creative per storefront, including Hindi and other Indian languages where your users search. Screenshots and messaging are adapted for local context rather than translated, because visual fit often drives more conversion lift than wording.
Yes. Under the partner model, your pod owns keyword strategy, metadata, creative production, experimentation, review management, and reporting, coordinating directly with your product and release teams. You keep approval rights over everything that ships and full visibility into test results throughout.
