How much does each install cost?

Keyword promotion is the best option for your application as it’s the fastest way to become closer to your target user. It helps your application to grow up in rank for an exact keyword.

Let’s look at the example with a popular keyword – <buy Instagram followers>.

We have delivered 1831 USA installs for this keyword in total. The promotion lasted 3 days: 2 days one after another, then there was a 3 day pause and again 1 day of promotion.

Here’s how it went in numbers:
● Day 1 – 401 installs
● Day 2 – 430 installs
● Day 3 – 1000 installs

Before the keyword promotion, the app took 59th place for the keyword <buy instagram followers>. The chart shows that it has grown up in rank 55 positions higher.

After the promotion we get: the 4th place for the keyword <buy instagram followers> in the USA.

There are essential steps for making the right keyword strategy, which does not depend on the status of your application.

STEP 1: LEARNING THE STRUCTURE OF EXISTING APPS

● First of all, analyze your competitors. In 99% of cases, you are not the first to the market. Therefore, you will find a couple of competitors in the TOP;

● Brainstorm it. Collect all the ideas of the main keywords and its combinations.
● Build the hierarchy of potential pages by logic. Usually, all the applications have the following structure: Startup → View→ ASO.

STEP 2: GATHERING THE KEY MATRIX

Let’s take a query related, for example, to this short article about <keywords>.

● Select synonyms. At first sight, it may seem the simplest.

Here are some synonyms that fit our category:

1. promotions keywords
2. key phrases
3. Keywords

By the way, it’s easy to find synonyms by examining the results of Google’s search results. Just put the word into the search engine and look through the delivery, note the nuances.

● Analyze the competitive app’s pages for high-frequency synonyms. To do this, you can use the services of third-party tools to analyze the positions.

Next step, the technique: take each URL, copy it and check the position in the search.

● Examine the difficulty of keywords. Desired keywords can be difficult to promote. You do not need to choose high competitive keywords. You can easily use similar (long-tail or short-tail keywords) and promote them in the TOP by position. For example: You want to promote an app <Photo Editor For Instagram> with the keyword <Instagram> and bring your application into 1st place by request. Such a popular keyword will lead you to the TOP-250 because the competition is high. Therefore, in order to achieve your goals, you should choose a similar keyword, for example, <Instagram editor> or <Instagram photo processing>.

● Select the keyword for the title. The final step is to write a correct page title with the use of TOP keyword that passes your app.

The main criteria for creating a title are:
1. The length – is up to 60 characters or 6-10 words;
2. Use encouraging words;
3. Remember your brand to increase recognition;
4. Write Each First Letter Capital;

STEP 3: MAKING CONCLUSIONS

● Analyze competitors and their structure.

● Gather the keyword matrix.
Keywords selection is only an initial stage in progress, but without it, you won’t achieve your goals. Start your successful promotion correctly. Also, you can use keywords from your developer console to promote using our service.

You may take account for some nuances with the keywords selection. Here’s what can happen and what you need to do if they appear:

NOT FOUND STATUS

This happens if an app can’t be found by our users among TOP-250 apps for the desired keyword.
Try to choose another, more detailed keyword by which your app is among TOP-250 on a certain market.

*Note: If you see that your app is <not found> by exact keyword but some installs were already delivered, it means that some users found it but most of them didn’t. It may happen due to changes on the market, such as appearance of new competitors (as an example). You may try this keyword some time again, but first, use more accessible keywords to promote.

OUT OF RANK STATUS

It means that users can’t find your app with keyword you’ve chosen.
You can choose powerful keyword to track your positions but remember that you can promote your app with long-tail keywords first. When your app can be found by the users via long-tail keywords you can start to choose short-tail one and become higher in rank.

*Note: If your application is fresh it is better to promote it via package ID in order to make it visible on the market. Since your application freely appears in searches you can start to promote it with the keywords and get target organic users.

Higher rank means your application has a higher position in search for a keyword.

For example, your Android application is 50th in search for "rent cars" in the USA. After you optimized your app by buying keyword installs for several days, you get up in the search to the 5th position, as an example. With the 5th position in Google Play search, you have more visibility and higher chances to get organic traffic from search.
