You\u2019re in the right place! Check out these simple steps that will lead you to success in no time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1. The Magic of Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Keywords are essential to bring your app to the top of the search results. Take some time to do a thorough keyword research. Try out these amazing tools that will help you to come up with the best keyword ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/onelook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">OneLook Dictionary Search<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/adwords.google.com\/KeywordPlanner\" target=\"_blank\">Google Keyword Planner<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/idmsa.apple.com\/IDMSWebAuth\/signin?appIdKey=a01459d797984726ee0914a7097e53fad42b70e1f08d09294d14523a1d4f61e1&amp;path=\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Recommended Keywords<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.keyword.io\/\" target=\"_blank\">Keyword.io &#8211; Free Keyword Research Tool<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember also the importance of tags. Do not use word combinations and avoid word duplication. It\u2019s recommended to use words divided by a comma without spaces to create more tags. For example:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instead of:<\/strong> url shortener, link shortener<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use:<\/strong> url,link,shortener<\/p>\n<h2>2. App Name<\/h2>\n<p>A great app name has a potential to skyrocket your search performance, conversion rates, and the viral potential. A successful name should be memorable, unique and descriptive of your company\u2019s purpose. Remember &#8211; using keywords in your app name can result in up to a 10.3% increase in rankings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>3. App Icon<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.capsulink.com\/free-psd-template-for-game-changing-app-icons\/\" target=\"_blank\">A perfect icon <\/a>can increase your downloads so create an app icon that is simple and eye-catchy. Avoid having text and small details, and don\u2019t forget to make sure it looks great also when scaled down to the smallest size.<\/p>\n<h2>4. App Screenshots<\/h2>\n<p>Users are likely to judge your app based on the first screenshots they see, therefore place your strongest messages in the first screenshots. Use caption texts, highlight app\u2019s features and benefits but avoid login, registrations, purchase forms, ads in your screenshots.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Preview Video<\/h2>\n<p>Preview videos can increase conversion rate in app downloads but remember that 80% of users stop watching video previews after 12 seconds. So keep it short and showcase your app\u2019s benefits in the first few seconds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":199,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[100],"tags":[61,56,76,39],"class_list":["post-198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seo-and-ads","tag-app-store-icon","tag-apps","tag-keyword-research","tag-search-marketing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Ultimate App Store Optimization (ASO) Checklist For a Guaranteed Success - Growth marketing blog \u203a Capsulink<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/newphp.capsulink.com\/blog\/the-ultimate-aso-checklist\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Ultimate App Store Optimization (ASO) Checklist For a Guaranteed Success - Growth marketing blog \u203a Capsulink\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/newphp.capsulink.com\/blog\/the-ultimate-aso-checklist\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Growth marketing blog \u203a Capsulink\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-06-30T09:57:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-03-31T09:08:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/newphp.capsulink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ASO.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"4288\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"2848\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Linda Vecvagare\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@izsaukumziime\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Linda Vecvagare\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/the-ultimate-aso-checklist\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/the-ultimate-aso-checklist\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Linda Vecvagare\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/8db287845362ef24e7b0ca845ba8c13f\"},\"headline\":\"The Ultimate App Store Optimization (ASO) Checklist For a Guaranteed Success\",\"datePublished\":\"2017-06-30T09:57:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-03-31T09:08:21+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/the-ultimate-aso-checklist\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":331,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/the-ultimate-aso-checklist\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/06\\\/ASO.jpeg\",\"keywords\":[\"App Store icon\",\"Apps\",\"Keyword research\",\"Search marketing\"],\"articleSection\":[\"SEO &amp;
