Put some effort to get this right. Make sure that you have included a couple of most important category keywords in your app title. However you need to make sure that the keywords fit naturally in the title, otherwise, it will look spammy. Here are some samples of the titles of the apps which are in top 20 in their categories as of today.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Indeed Job Search<\/li>\n<li>Genius Scan \u2013 PDF Scanner<\/li>\n<li>Concur \u2013 Travel, Receipts, Expense Reports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8079\" style=\"margin: auto; display: block;\" src=\"\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/app-logo-daigram.png\" alt=\"app logo daigram\" width=\"467\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/app-logo-daigram.png 467w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/app-logo-daigram-300x131.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8079 lazyload\" style=\"margin: auto; display: block;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20467%20204%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"app logo daigram\" width=\"467\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20467%20204%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/app-logo-daigram.png 467w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/app-logo-daigram-300x131.png 300w\" data-src=\"\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/app-logo-daigram.png\"><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>2 Research your keywords thoroughly<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Keywords is another important criteria on which your rank in the App Store depends. Make sure that you give enough attention to choosing right keywords for your app. One of the easy ways to find out good keywords is to check which keywords are being used by your competitors. There are tools which can help you with this. Some prominent ones are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Astec \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/astec.net\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/astec.net\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>SearchMan<\/li>\n<li>AppMind \u2013<a href=\"http:\/\/appmind.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\"> http:\/\/appmind.co\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>AppCodes<\/li>\n<li>SensorTower \u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/sensortower.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\"> https:\/\/sensortower.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Also it is important to make sure that keyword selection is not one time process. Monitor your keywords for their performance in App Store search. Try out some variations to find out the keywords which work the best for you.<\/p>\n<h5>3 Write a clear and concise app description<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Though not as important as title or keywords as a search ranking factor, your app\u2019s description is an important factor which decides whether the user will download your app or not once he has found it. Make sure that you write an effective copy to make sure that your app\u2019s purpose is evident. Also, don\u2019t forget to mention the most important benefits your app gives to the users to make their life wonderful or the specific pain points it solves.<\/p>\n<h5>4 Get more ratings, reviews, and downloads for your app<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Your app\u2019s ranking in the search results is also greatly influenced by the ratings, reviews, and downloads it receives. Here is one good tip that you should always integrate into your app to get more positive ratings and reviews.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">You should proactively prompt the user to rate your application. However, don\u2019t be nagging about this. Give a gentle pop up after the user has had a few positive interactions with your app. For example, if yours is a Todos app, and the user has used the app for three days in a row, then you can show a pop up to the user like:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">\u201cIt seems our app is helping you to manage your tasks efficiently. Would you like to rate our app on the App Store\u201d?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">The buttons for the pop up could be, \u201cYes I would like to.\u201d and \u201cI will do this later\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">To get more downloads follow the other tips mentioned in this document to gain more social interactions with your users to get more publicity which should drive the downloads further.<\/p>\n<h5>5 Be obsessive about resolving negative reviews<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Remember: A happy customer is a brand ambassador for your app. Get in touch with your users who have posted negative reviews about your app. Resolve their problems. Let them know once you have resolved the bugs in the following update. Convert the negative users into advocates of your app. Also in the process, you will learn a lot about the how the customers perceive your app and what value it brings to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Source:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/229305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\"> http:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/229305<\/a><\/p>\n<h5>6 Use localization to get more downloads<\/h5>\n<figure><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14661\" src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Use-localization-1.png\" alt=\" Localization \" width=\"855\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Use-localization-1.png 855w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Use-localization-1-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Use-localization-1-768x326.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14661 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20363%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\" Localization \" width=\"855\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20363%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 855w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Use-localization-1.png 855w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Use-localization-1-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Use-localization-1-768x326.png 768w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Use-localization-1.png\"><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">There are a lot of non-English speaking countries in the world where people prefer to use apps in their local language. Multiple studies have shown that if you localize your app to languages other than English, it can increase the downloads of your app significantly. This was first brought to light in 2012 by a Distimo publication titled: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.distimo.com\/blog\/2012_10_publication-the-impact-of-app-translations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">The Impact of App Translations.<\/a> You can read more about this <a href=\"http:\/\/makeappmag.com\/iphone-app-localization-keywords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<h5>7 Don\u2019t use simple screenshots of your app. Get properly designed screenshots which highlight the main features of your app.<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Pictures are powerful. One of the first things the user does when they land on your app page is to check out the screenshots of your app. This is a very good chance to \u201csell\u201d your app, by highlighting the best features of your app. If you want some example of how to do this right, check out the following four famous apps, all of which are in top 10 as of now:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"fs16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/id995999703\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">Agar.io<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"fs16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/likee-short-video-community\/id1251790681\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Likee &#8211; Short Video Community<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"fs16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/id447188370\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">Snapchat<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"fs16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/colorfy-coloring-book-for\/id1009442510\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">Colorfy: Coloring Book for Adults \u2013 Free<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Use your pricing strategy to get more downloads<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>8 Freemium can be the silver bullet for many types of apps<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\" style=\"overflow: hidden; margin-bottom: 0;\"><strong>The easiest way to get 1 million people paying is to get 1 billion people using. \u2013 Phil Libin, Evernote Founder<\/strong> (Image Credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/10\/19\/phil-libin-evernote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">TechCrunch)<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\" style=\"clear: both;\">First challenge for most of the apps is getting the users to try out the app. If the app is paid, then there is very little chance that everybody your app reaches to will download the app. In the initial stage of your app, it\u2019s really important to get as many people to use your app as possible. That way you can collect analytics and improve the app accordingly. Many billion dollar companies like Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram didn\u2019t have a clear business model or sustainable revenue when they received the Series A funding. The business model in this case, is let\u2019s get the traction first and then we will figure out a business model. You can make this work, if you have sustainable seed or angel funding to keep the app alive, till you bring in your first million users. At that stage you should be able raise further funding to push your app further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">With freemium strategy, you keep your core free and charge the users for certain premium features using In App Purchase. Freemium can be a very good way to allow the users to use your app and then monetize your app through premium features where users see a clear value your app brings to their workflow and life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">However, <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/mobile-growth\/how-i-killed-app-sales-by-going-freemium-31c04c60d2f2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">Freemium may not work for utility types of apps,<\/a> which are clearly better than the competition and have a clearly evident purpose to its users.<\/p>\n<h5>9 Play with the pricing of your app to attract more paying visitors<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\">When starting out you may want to price your app (or <a href=\"\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/newsletters\/monetization-mobile-app\">In App Purchases<\/a>) a dollar or two more than you have decided. This way you can reduce the price during special promotion times to attract more users. One thing to note about pricing is to make sure that you know how your competition has priced their apps and price your app accordingly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ct_flPTHugU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">Source: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ct_flPTHugU<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Use Pinterest to promote your app<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>10 Create awesome boards around your app&#8217;s category<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Create some awesome boards in your app\u2019s category. Start with at least 8-10 boards with 5 relevant pins each. Use the keywords and descriptions which are related to your app&#8217;s category. For example, if you are creating a time management application, you can create boards about being more organized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Make sure you have a board where you can pin links to other people who are talking about your app online. A board that includes app reviews, demos, blog posts, photos and anything else that showcases other people using your app and their opinion on your app.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Use catchy and creative titles for the boards to aid in discoverability and to help categorize your board topics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Add watermarks to your images and use your app\u2019s url in your pin\u2019s description.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Don\u2019t overwhelm your readers with \u201cpin dump\u201d.

Get them writing about the app. But you will usually find that most of your tries to get these bloggers to write about your products will fail. So here are some tips which will increase your chances to get reviewed by a blogger:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apptamin.com\/blog\/press-kit-for-your-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">Put together a press kit for your app <\/a>and send it with your review request.

I think it can be tweaked to get your app reviewed by influential bloggers. The gist of it is, find out the bloggers who might have reviewed other apps from your category. Approach them and tell them about your app and how it is better than the previously reviewed app. Then politely ask them, if they would like to review your app too. If they agree, send them required info and make their job as easy as possible as described in the above two tips.<\/p>\n<h5>25 If you support localization, reach out to bloggers in other languages<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Sometimes it\u2019s harder to get reviewed by famous bloggers in US as they get a lot of similar requests. One way to get a lot of press for your app, is to reach out bloggers and journalists from other languages which your app supports. Since app economy is not as prolific in these other languages as that of English, there is a good chance that your app will get reviewed by these foreign language bloggers and journalists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">Source:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/229305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\"> http:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/229305<\/a><\/p>\n<h5>26 Focus on the one unique feature that sets your app apart from the competition<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb20\">While creating the marketing material for your blog make sure that you focus on that one feature of your app that sets it apart from the competition.
