App Store Optimisation (ASO) in Manchester
Improving how a Manchester business's app is found and downloaded from the App Store and Google Play. ASO shares vocabulary with SEO and works differently — the two stores index differently, the screenshots do more selling than the description, and conversion from listing view to install is usually the bigger lever.
Why this comes up
The problem
The app is live and downloads are flat. It does not appear for the terms people would search, and the listing has not changed since launch.
What you get
What we deliver
- Keyword research per store, since Apple and Google index different fields
- Title and subtitle written for search and for a person deciding in seconds
- Screenshots leading with the benefit, because that is what converts the view
- Store listing experiments on Google Play, which supports proper testing
- Review and rating strategy, prompted at sensible moments rather than at launch
- Ranking and conversion tracked, so changes are attributable

App Store Optimisation (ASO) in Manchester — common questions
- How do the two stores differ?
- Apple indexes the title, subtitle and a separate keyword field, and not the description. Google indexes the description more like a search engine. The same listing copied across both leaves ranking on the table in at least one of them.
- What matters most for installs?
- The first two screenshots. Most people decide from the search results and the top of the listing without scrolling or reading, so screenshots that lead with the benefit rather than showing a generic interface are the highest-leverage asset you have.
- Do reviews affect ranking?
- Rating influences both ranking and the decision to install, and the difference between 4.2 and 4.6 is commercially significant. Prompting at a moment of success rather than on second launch is most of what determines which one you get.
- Can we test listing changes?
- On Google Play, properly — store listing experiments give you real split tests. Apple's product page optimisation is more limited, so iOS work relies more on sequential changes with careful measurement.
- Do you work with businesses across Greater Manchester?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North West, including Manchester and the surrounding Greater Manchester area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Manchester businesses do you usually work with?
- Demand is competitive and design-led — clients here are benchmarking against well-funded local products and expect the same standard. Beyond that we work across Digital & Tech, Media, Financial Services, Life Sciences and Hospitality.
- Do you cover the areas around Manchester?
- Yes — we work throughout North West, including Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield. Manchester is an urban area of roughly 2,800,000+, and we take on work across the wider Greater Manchester region rather than the city boundary alone.
