Japan's Google Play Store cuts app title limit to 15 half-width characters, reshaping ASO. Adapting demands strategic keywords and key features in titles, a new challenge in the competitive marketplace in UK.
Recently, the Google Play Store in Japan made a significant adjustment to its metadata policy, specifically the title character limit.
Metadata, which includes elements like app titles, descriptions, and keywords, significantly influences an app's visibility and downloads. As an essential element in the realm of app marketing, this change significantly influenced App Store Optimization (ASO).
A recent update on Japan Google Play Store specified the app title limit to a mere 30 half-width characters. Instead of in-same counting on both half-width and full-width characters, the new policy reduced the full-width character limit to 15.
This reduction in the title character limit presents a new hurdle in ASO. Crafting an app title that is succinct, yet effectively communicates the app's purpose and stands out in the saturated app marketplace, is now more challenging than ever.
Adapting to this change requires a strategic approach. Developers and marketers need to use Keywords that resonate with their target audience and accurately represent the app's core functionality. It's also important to prioritize the most significant features or aspects of the app in the title, given the reduced character limit.
