NO App Store Optimization = NO App Success

Here things are different. In the case of the Polish market, a very large percentage of companies do not provide budgets for an ASO and think that a great application will defend itself and promote itself. In the world this situation is much better. This is also one of the reasons why Polish applications are worse than those in, for example, the USA.

Currently, when we have more than 5 million applications in both app stores, the failure to use the ASO does not pass the exam. Fortunately, more and more companies understand this problem and begin to implement ASO strategies for their applications. ASO is not only an obligation, but it is also helpful in reducing the cost of paid mobile campaigns. It also contributes to the growth of other important business indicators such as LTV, CPI, CAC, etc.

In this case, we need to create it based on the objectives, potential users, the market in which we operate, industries and combine it with the overall business strategy of the company. Elements to pay attention to include competition analysis, user acquisition strategy, monetization of the application, soft launch campaign, hard launch and advertising channels.
