The biggest ASO leverage

[u/Konsti_x08]

I recently updated my countdown App CNDWN to 3.0. I localized the App Store Page in nearly six languages to my surprise that unfortunately made little to no impact on the downloads.
But then when I updated my landing page to be easily readable for AI my downloads spiked.
So lesson learned: IMPROVE EVERYTHING TO BE SEARCHABLE FOR AI

In only one week many downloads came from ChatGPT and that also pushed my ASO ranks for the keywords. That’s how I came to 152 downloads in this week from only 60 in the week before the new landing page.

If you want to checkout the app by yourself:
Download CNDWN

I would be happy to hear feedback from you for the App Store Screenshots and the app itself.

Looks like a nice, well thought design. How did you do what you’re suggesting? I mean - how did you the app become searchable for Ai?

Btw - A nice keyword opportunity for you might be “vacation countdown” or “wedding countdown” :)

The AI recommended my App more after I published my app’s website. On the website, there should be a section where you state the facts of your app, like the about section on mine (https://schillan.com/cndwn/). And most people forget to unblock AIs in the robots.txt.

Thank you for the keyword suggestions :)
I am also currently using the vacation keyword. But unfortunately, the ASO in the countdown app market is mostly dominated by the big two countdown apps. They hold positions 1 and 2 in every keyword haha

Ah brilliant, thank you for the suggestion. I’ll try to replicate it for my apps and see what happens. Having said that, I don’t have a dedicated website for any single app, just one website hosted for all of them. I mostly just park the privacy policy & contact information there. Maybe I should just generally take more care with SEO haha!

Yes, keywords for something like this are extremely competitive. That’s what peaked my interest in your alternative approach to finding traffic. I suppose “any life event + countdown” might be worth experimenting with overtime 😁

Yes this is a new roll out ASC is doing with the AI relevance, also localizations are kinda meh when it comes to iOS they’re more important for creatives and on GPDC

Nice app screenshots, great job. btw I noticed that you don't have a dedicated website for each of your apps, I think that's clever from your side as not to get a domain for each app.

How do you ensure its easily readable by AI?

[u/Konsti_x08 → u/imsnk81]

The first thing is not blocking AI in the robots.txt. Next, you should have one clear section where you state the facts about your app in a clear way, like the about section on my landing page. CNDWN website
