Simplify your game and app management in 2019

About 6.000 mobile apps and games are released every day in only the Google Play Store.

This means mobile games are facing huge competition in the app stores. Apple has officially released statistics, showing that 63 per cent of apps and mobile games are found through App Store Search.

Still, many game studios do not facilitate the power of App Store Optimisation in order to boost organic user acquisition. Why? App Store Optimisation is still widely unknown and those who know about this mobile marketing technique, which is similar to SEO, think it’s too time-consuming to really pay off.

About App Store Search Optimisation and App Store Management for games

After the creative development and release of a mobile game, it still needs to be maintained and supported regularly to reach the deserved or desired success.

Frequently publishing updates is key for a game’s success as mobile app updates are considered one of the most powerful marketing tools. They help to increase loyalty by fixing bugs.

They also keep the app on top of the user’s mind and thus provide the game with more mindshare compared to other apps on the user’s devices. That is why successful apps and games businesses release up to four updates a month.

But there’s a downside. Regular update iterations take a lot of time. If you’re marketing your app in the app stores, you have to worry about updating the app title, the keywords and maybe even the description on a regular basis.

In addition to these more superficial updates, you also have to be concerned about releasing your app in multiple languages and countries every time you have a new version to release.

If your mobile game is available in five languages for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, you’d have to go through 10 localisations to update metadata in order to release a new app version. This can take up an incredible amount of time.
