You’d better optimize your app title and subtitle firstly to make the most out of app store ranking algorithm.
App Condition on App Store: New App with low chart ranking, low installs and low review base.
App Promotion Target: To build original keyword rankings and strive for app store category recommendation opportunities.
Most apps basically have no keyword coverage and foundation when they are first launched at the beginning, so the main problem they face is that the natural traffic is all relatively low. Such a problem will not only happen to the newly launched app, but also some apps that have been launched for a period of time will face the situation of less traffic and ranking.
In this case, customers can optimize the operation on the number of keywords coverage, focus on digging long-tail words, as much as possible to get traffic, so as to achieve the purpose of improving app ranking; if the app also has good traffic in the early stage, you can focus on the basis of coverage optimization, focusing on industry keywords, competing keywords, and so on.
At the stage of less natural increment, it is difficult to compete with the mature platform in the industry big words. Therefore, at the initial stage of optimization, the app's focus can be shifted to mining long-tail words.
100 ~ 300 app package installs + 30 app ratings(4~5 star) + 15 app reviews daily, for about 1 week.
Note: Try to prepare your reviews contents more detailed, to includes your keywords. Then you may find that your keyword coverage be improved, and you may also have the chance to be listed as featured content by the app store.
After this step, some people can find your app by searching several low competition keywords. Your app normally rank to top with these keywords searching.
App Condition on App Store: App already have finished the basic optimization, and get some users to download and do the review for their app, app can be searched by some keywords.
App Promotion Target: improve your keyword coverage and boost your app visibility.
There are some apps that have a certain amount of traffic in the initial stage, but nopopular keywords and related keywords coverage, these apps can focus on coverage optimization basis, focusing on industry words, competing words and other long-tail words.
But in such a situation where there are already a small number of keywords covered, but the traffic is still very low, and there is a lack of exposure in the application market, and have little chance of being find when users searching. In such a situation, the words with traffic are selected and maintained with focus.
This stage also needs to focus on industry words, competing words, etc. Continue to increase the coverage of relevant keywords through multiple rounds of coverage optimization, further expand the number of effective keyword thesaurus, improve the overall visibility of popular keywords, promote the main word row, and finally improve organic traffic.
Choose 3~5 covered keywords for keyword installs. These keywords generally belong to the keywords of medium competition and low competition. Some are modified long-tail keywords for popular keywords in your industry.
800 ~1000 keyword installs + 80 app ratings(4~5 start) +50 app reviews(detailed content, include valuable keywords) daily, for about 10 days.
Circulate this stage plan to add new medium competition keywords that your app covered, and continuously increase the chances of your app being displayed after being searched by different keywords. Your organic traffic and keyword coverage will continue to grow.
App Condition on App Store: App with some keyword coverage (which relevant keywords with highly competitive search terms be ranked well, and the popular industry keywords be ranked over 200, users will still difficult to find your app by popular keywords) .
App Promotion Target: To boost your app visibility and organic traffic.
There are some apps already have long-tail keywords, in the early stage with a certain amount of traffic, the basic conditions have been built to complete, that is, the focus on optimizing the keyword ranking, with the effect of volume, etc. has been more stable stage.
But the app's and popular keywords ranking is not very forward, this situation can be focused on the improvement of traffic and user acquisition, on the basis of popular keywords coverage optimization, focus on industry words, competitor words, and so on.
You can further improve the effective keyword ranking on this basis, while increasing the attention to competing words, popular words, try to expand the optimization from the existing core words, competing words, popular words, or user groups, and so on.
1500 ~2000 keyword installs + 200 app ratings +100 app reviews daily. For about 1 week.

@Silvia Wright As a first step, app developers and marketers usually start by setting up a collection of search terms that people use to find apps in the app stores. Following suit, you should think of terms people might use to search for your mobile apps.
Lucy Meyer
@Silvia Wright This can be your brand name, app name, and main app functionalities. Keyword research is one of the most time-intensive tasks in the ASO workflow.
Lucy Meyer
@Silvia Wright Obtaining keywords and keyword inspiration from app store auto-suggestions are practical because you automatically get a sense of what other keywords the app store algorithms think are relevant to the one you just searched.

@Raquel Cole There are many factors that contribute to a mobile app’s success on the market. Apart from the overall and value it delivers, it must also be easy to find by potential users.
Ollie Cummings
@Raquel Cole If you run an Android app, one of the key ways of ensuring its high discoverability is by optimizing it for Google Play Store – so, making it stand out among the tens of other options available. Especially, as we’re talking about 2.9 million apps on Google Play worldwide!
Janet Ortega
@Frank Hernandez Positive ratings and reviews, both in terms of quality and quantity, have a huge impact on your App Store Optimization efforts. It’s in your best interest to get as many as you can. Of course, they need to be honest reviews from people who have actually downloaded the app.
Janet Ortega
@Frank Hernandez You can encourage users you know through word of mouth to leave a good review of your app on the App Store or Google Play.
Janet Ortega
@Frank Hernandez Another way to get app store reviews might be sending a push notification to encourage users to review your app (as long as you’ve gotten permission to send push notifications).
Janet Ortega
@Frank Hernandez You can also have an in-app pop-up notification asking the user to leave a good review if he or she liked it.

You will be able to see where your app stands in relation to the competition, and boost your store ranking accordingly.
