② AppStore marketing strategies
‘The majority of app discovery happens through browsing and search on the mobile device’ – AdMob Mobile Metrics, aug-09
So:• How to get into the “Top 25” or “What’s Hot” list?• How to ensure app discoverability?
![Page 9: DDMA iLounge - Market your iPhone App](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5400c6378d7f7289408b49d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ranking in the App Store
• Each app has primary and secondary category (Weather, Finance, Travel, Navigation, Sports, ..)
• Various rankings: overall (per App Store), per category, paid vs. free – rank changes at least daily. So choose your category wisely!
• My formula (unverified): Ranking = sales per day (units) * rating * Apple factor
Apple factor = €€€ * coolness * spotlight theme

Discoverability in the App Store
Search result set based on:• Company name• App name• App keywords (max. 100 chars/12 keywords) – can’t be
changed
Search result ranking:• App Store Ranking• Ratings/reviews – don’t matter (for search), but do for
conversion
