  1. 1. Integrate Keywords in Captions

    Include at least 3 relevant keywords in your screenshot captions to reinforce search positions and introduce new keywords aligned with user searches, improving discoverability.

  2. 2. Analyze High-Performing Apps

    Regularly review the top 5 apps in your category to document their caption keywords and compare them with your own; aim to adopt at least 2 effective keywords they utilize.

  3. 3. Character Limit Testing

    Test text truncation for titles and descriptions in different languages by creating mock listings before launch, ensuring all key messages fit within region-specific character limits to avoid loss of important information.

  5. 5. Maximize 100-Character Keyword Efficiency

    For keyword fields, fill all 100 characters with a diverse mix of localized terms targeting multiple languages, enhancing your keyword breadth and discovery in different markets.
