Category: Core ASO

Actionable tactics, thresholds, and shortcuts curated for product page optimization (ppo). Each hack ships with exact numbers where available.

  1. 1. Traffic Split Customization

    When setting up tests in PPO, allocate traffic to treatments based on expected performance; consider a 60/20/20 split instead of even distribution to optimize for your best guess on the most effective variant.

  2. 2. Optimize Screenshots Order

    Experiment with the sequence of your screenshots by changing the order during tests — this can have a significant impact on user engagement, so try to position your most compelling visuals first.

  3. 3. Leverage Seasonal Keywords

    Use data trends to identify and target keywords that rise during specific seasons — set alerts for these keywords at least a month in advance so you can adjust your Apple Ads campaigns accordingly.

  4. 4. Utilize Negative Keywords

    Regularly review your Apple Ads performance and actively include a list of negative keywords to prevent wasted ad spend on irrelevant searches — aim for at least 10% of your overall keyword budget focused on relevant terms only.

  5. 5. Test App Preview Video Presence

    When testing app preview videos in PPO, ensure one version is without video to assess its necessity; if removing the video leads to a higher conversion rate, focus on enhancing your app screenshots instead.
