The mission was to rethink the app's store listing creative assets. Equip their teams with the knowledge and resources needed, for ensuring long-term ASO success after the engagement.

App Store Optimization solution

An app preview video was envisioned as a powerful medium to demonstrate the value of the app's most popular features to users. Dark Mode and Song Catcher, as well as core features like offline listening and a library of over 73 million songs and podcasts, were to take center stage.

Using visuals that showcased the most popular artists, songs, and podcasts based on the number of plays in the United States, We took a data-driven approach, building on findings from previous ASO experiments. The same data was collected across multiple locations, allowing Phiture to localize the video based on market data. On the App Store, new users would see the app preview video in the place of the screenshot, or as a banner or featured graphic. In addition to showcasing the app's new features, the top artists and songs in each preview video varied based on the user's geographic location.

The app preview video was released at the same time as new branding and a refresh of creative assets in the App Store.

The engagement began with a full audit conducted by ASO World's ASO consultants, which identified the key differences in the Turkish market and analyzed the competitors. They then conducted extensive keyword research on the music streaming market, followed by an optimization analysis that identified areas for increased visibility and conversion. The following stage necessitated close collaboration with the ASO World & App ranking. To align with key findings from the audit research and relevant cultural trends in the Turkish market, visual and textual assets were created and localized. Using an iterative approach, the assets were tested in both the Google Play and Apple App stores, keyword optimization was performed regularly to allow for metadata updates, and various visual assets were trialed regularly. 



We incorporated "music online," the most popular inquiry from the pertinent category, into the name of the app with the help of Appranking. By using this tool, we also analyzed the keywords and keywords ranking of the competitor of the app. The description was then rewritten with high and mid-frequency words from the semantic kernel (such as "playlist," "music," and "tracks") included. To support one of our ideas about obtaining organic traffic from subtle target queries, we also incorporated genre names.

App Store Optimization Result

It took one month from the start of market research to the launch of the first test visual and metadata experiments. After collecting data and analyzing the impact, the results revealed that we experienced a 60% increase in downloads following the first round of keyword optimization on iOS, followed by a 53% increase on Android. The conversion rate increased by 20%, there were twice as many visitors on Android during the engagement, and this music app went from being an unknown music streaming service in Turkey to one of the market leaders.

When we concentrated on ASO, we saw two results: first, in-store exposure increased dramatically and more people were able to find it; second, page view-to-installation conversions increased, which lowers CPI for all traffic sources. Successful ASO, carefully chosen keywords, and flashy new aesthetics are to blame for this success. App store optimization can improve an app's overall usability and user base.
