ASO guide to your app rank on Google Play Store

You have made an awesome app, but it's not ranking on Google Play Store? Don't worry I will share awesome 7 tips to rank your apps on Google Play Store. Even if your app is new, and your competitor has 5 Million above downloads, you can still rank your app on top of the Google Play Store.

The keyword is a very important factor for ranking your app on Google Play Store. You can think of a keyword as a search term that general people will use to find apps on the Play Store. If another app is featured on a certain keyword that you want your app to rank for, you can replace a competitor's app if you make proper use of keywords.

Your app will rank in different positions in different countries over time. The ranking of this app might be different in the United States and the Philippines.

1. App icon

Your app icon and the colors used should be different than of your competitors. This will make people catch their attention faster on your app.

2. Use keywords in your app title

Find the search term that you think people might search for finding similar apps to yours. You can use keywords in your app title after your app name. For example, WiFi Thief Detector - Who uses my WiFi. Doing this doesn't change your original app name.

I used this technique at the beginning to improve my rank app on Google Play Store faster. People searching for the keyword "WiFi Thief Detector" and "Who uses my WiFi", both can see the app on Google Play Store.

3. Use keywords in your app short description

Similarly, think of a search term that people will search by the feature. Then, make a short description using those keywords. You shouldn't flood the descriptions with keywords only, your sentence should look natural.
