Dating apps typically see clear seasonality. Searches, profile updates, and match activity rise in the weeks before major social dates, while user intent shifts from casual discovery to concrete planning. Capturing that intent requires timing, localized wording, and precise metadata placement.

The following case shows how a focused seasonal keyword program and ASO monitoring turned short-term Valentine interest into measurable organic growth for a small team.
The client is a small dating app with around 25,000 total installs, operating in the US, UK, and Brazil. With Valentine’s Day approaching, the team wanted to capture seasonal search demand and turn it into organic growth, without releasing a new version or expanding the team.
As an ASO agency, our role was to help them make better use of existing store traffic by aligning their keywords with how users actually search for dating solutions before Valentine's Day.
ASO World Keyword Optimization
Boost your app visibility in the App Store & Google Play search result!
Valentine's Day creates a short but intense spike in dating-related searches. However, the app's existing keyword set was mostly generic and evergreen, which meant it was missing users who were actively searching with clear Valentine intent.
At the same time, the team lacked the resources to experiment widely. Every keyword change had to be deliberate, localized, and easy to validate.
Our work focused on seasonal keyword optimization supported by continuous ASO tool monitoring.
We began by expanding the app's dating keyword pool with Valentine-related long-tail and creative phrases. Instead of chasing broad terms, we looked for phrases that reflected real user intent in this period, such as speed dating, last-minute dates, or Valentine date ideas. Each market was handled separately, as search behavior and wording differ significantly between regions.
For source data we combined store search autocomplete and related searches, competitor store pages and seasonal banners, social search queries and forum threads, and ASOWorld's keyword research tool. This mix let us surface both high-intent phrases and local idioms while filtering out low-demand or overly competitive terms.
Using ASO tools, we reviewed search volume indicators and competition levels for these seasonal phrases in each target market. This allowed us to filter out keywords that were either too competitive or had insufficient demand, and concentrate on terms that balanced relevance with realistic ranking potential.

Once the seasonal keyword set was defined, we integrated the highest-priority phrases into the app's metadata in a controlled way. Core placements were adjusted carefully to avoid disrupting existing rankings, while supporting long-tail phrases were added to localized descriptions. All changes were staged so their impact could be observed clearly.
Throughout the Valentine campaign window, we monitored keyword rankings and visibility on a daily basis. When a seasonal keyword gained traction, we kept its placement and observed how it influenced store visibility and organic installs. If a term showed weak performance or lost visibility quickly, it was replaced by an alternative from the same intent group. This steady monitor-and-adjust loop ensured that the app stayed aligned with shifting search demand as Valentine's Day approached.
By the end of the campaign, the strongest-performing Valentine keywords were retained as part of the app's long-term ASO strategy, allowing the team to benefit from ongoing seasonal and post-season searches.
