App Store Search
There are numerous ways users can discover your product, but the most valuable one is organic traffic, particularly from the Apple App Store search function using a search bar and keywords. According to statistics, this method of discovering new apps and games results in the highest number of downloads for developers.
What Is App Store Search?
The Apple Store has a search bar, which users can utilize to search for apps and games with specific queries. Visitors who land on your page via this method form App Store search traffic. This traffic is considered high-quality because these customers are specifically looking for an app or game similar to yours. They can use keywords, category names, phrases describing functionality, and even brand names to find what they need.
According to Apple’s statistics, search traffic accounts for around 70% of all downloads, making it crucial for developers to maximize App Store traffic to their pages. Unlike paid user acquisition methods, you don’t need to spend money to attract this audience.
Instead, you need to optimize the text page listings correctly so that your product appears in response to as many relevant keywords as possible.
It's also essential to combine popular (high-frequency and competitive) words with rare phrases that help you stand out among a sea of similar apps. Build an effective semantic core with Asolytics tools. You can start with Recommended Keywords and get a list of relevant keywords based on information about your app and competitors.
Analyzing search traffic helps you monitor the effectiveness of your ASO activities. If your page receives many impressions and visitors but few installs, it's a clear indicator that something is wrong with your listings.
In this case, you'll need to rework the primary elements, conduct A/B testing to determine the most effective options, and present your product to the audience in a new way.
