App Store Optimization challenge
The client on which this Case Study is based is an app in the Food Delivery Category, which is one of the most competitive when it comes to ranking (and selling) your app. This is especially difficult than in any other category because you must brand your product extremely well in order to stand out by offering cool features and offers. Keeping up with the trends and new features that other food delivery apps may be releasing is essential, so keep yours up to date.
Our client's primary target market was the USA. The United States is one of the most difficult countries to rank because its smartphone population is larger than that of the majority of other countries. Also, there, users are more willing to pay for an app (or make in-app purchases, even if the app was free to download).
