Perguntas frequentes
What is ASO?
App Store Optimization (ASO) is the practice of improving how an app ranks and converts on the App Store and Google Play. It has two halves: discoverability (getting found in search and browse) and conversion (turning a listing visit into an install).
Do screenshots affect App Store ranking?
Not directly. Apple's search ranking comes from text fields like app name, subtitle, keyword field, and ratings. Screenshots affect conversion after a user reaches your listing — but higher conversion can indirectly help ranking because the App Store rewards listings that convert.
How is ASO different on Google Play?
Google Play indexes your full long description, so natural keyword usage in the description matters more than on iOS, which uses a hidden keyword field. Google Play also weighs install and retention signals. Visual assets and ratings matter on both stores.
What should an indie developer do first?
Fix the cheapest high-impact levers first: a clear app name and subtitle with real search terms, a legible icon, and a screenshot set whose first three images sell the core benefit. Then localize and A/B test once the basics convert.
