How hard is App Store Optimization?

The goal of App Store Optimization is to generate organic downloads. App Store search makes up a large percentage of total App Store downloads, but not all companies are taking advantage. Why?

Plain and simple, App Store Optimization is hard.

Correction, GOOD App Store Optimization is hard.

A couple extra users per day might be the answer for some apps, but those that want to capture the millions of users searching for them, need dedicated attention to their ASO efforts. App Store search is one of the most powerful and reliable sources of traffic. There’s no better user than the one that’s looking for you.

Companies spend endless amounts of money on paid campaigns to get their apps in front of potential users. ASO gives companies the opportunity to get in front of millions of users that are already looking for you!

I understand the hesitation, paid campaigns have a dollar amount based on acquisition. If five users download your app, you pay for those five. So why not ASO?

That’s the question we asked ourselves at The ASO Project. After developing our proprietary technology and perfecting our App Store Optimization methods, we made the decision to differentiate ourselves with a performance-based pricing model.

We’re so confident in our technology and our strategies, we don’t charge a set monthly fee, or sign up fee. Our pricing is per download, just like paid campaigns. Our downloads come from App Store search, and we’re able to capture those millions of users looking for your app. We get you in front of the people that want your app.
