Balance Branding and Search Traffic
There are apps which use their brand names but still rank well in their chosen keywords and Lewis inquired what that point is. I shared that if this is something you are passionate about, you can get the best of both worlds if there is not a big difference between your branding and your keywords. For his app, the words ‘progress’, ‘body tracker’, and ‘body measurement’ have decent traffic so I suggested he can go for Progress / Body Measurement or Progress – Body Tracker. You can then optimize by working on your subtitles and descriptions.I also suggested that he flip these keywords in his Spanish Mexico localization.
Screenshots Feedback
I critiqued Lewis’ screenshots and suggested to change the landscape format plus consider them as an opportunity to put branding on. Incorporate your logo in it, make it clean and focus only on the heart of your message instead of bombarding it with too much text. You can think of the phrases which your audience love and place them in your screenshots. This can greatly help with conversion.
It was a pleasure to chat to Steve 🙂
I’ve taken the steps we discussed and I plan to write a blog post about it soon. I’ll update here when it’s done 🙂
That would be awesome! Please share. Happy to have you back on as well. Let’s put it on YouTube!
