Keyword Installs & ASO Service
During the pre-Black Friday period, the coupon app faced intense competition across the Google Play ecosystem. As searches for shopping-related keywords surged, visibility for core terms like “discounts,” “cashback,” and “Black Friday deals” became increasingly difficult to maintain. Competing apps with higher ad spend and brand recognition dominated top positions, leading to stagnation in organic installs despite a steady increase in overall market demand.
At the same time, the app’s store listing struggled to capture user intent in different English-speaking markets. Metadata lacked regional relevance, while outdated visuals failed to communicate time-sensitive offers. This combination of limited localization, weak seasonal positioning, and intense keyword saturation reduced conversion rates during the most crucial shopping season of the year.
To regain visibility and conversion momentum ahead of the Black Friday season, the team implemented a comprehensive ASO strategy tailored to Android search dynamics. The goal was to expand keyword coverage, strengthen regional relevance, and improve visual appeal to match heightened seasonal user intent.
The optimization began with an in-depth analysis of Play Store keyword performance to capture the growing demand for deal-related searches. The team focused on expanding metadata coverage with seasonal and intent-driven phrases that reflected user search behaviour during November.

Given that the app served multiple English-speaking markets, localization became a critical factor in improving organic conversion. The team refined both metadata and creatives to reflect regional language nuances and local retail preferences.
Localized store listing metadata and screenshots for English (US, UK, Canada) and Spanish-speaking markets.
Adapted region-specific language:
Updated screenshots with familiar retail brands (e.g., Walmart for US, Tesco for UK) to build user trust and relevance.
This approach not only increased local search visibility but also enhanced user connection by aligning the app's presentation with regional shopping habits.
Seasonal optimization extended beyond keywords to the app’s visual identity. The design team refreshed Play Store assets to create stronger emotional engagement and urgency during the shopping period.
This visual coherence helped the app stand out in crowded search results and significantly improved click-through rates from impressions.
