3 ASO Lifehacks
Promotional Video
Category: Visual Assets & Creative
Actionable tactics, thresholds, and shortcuts curated for promotional video. Each hack ships with exact numbers where available.
1. Video CVR Uplift Math
A promotional video lifting CVR from 3% to 5% on a keyword with 10,000 monthly impressions generates 200 additional installs monthly with zero paid spend — calculate your keyword impression volume first to predict ROI before shooting.
2. Cross-Store Video Format Standardization
Use 16:9 landscape (30-second max) for Google Play YouTube trailers as your primary asset, then repurpose as 9:16 portrait for social platforms — this single shoot yields 3+ distribution channels instead of format-specific production.
3. Preview Video Duration Sweet Spot
Cap Apple App Store preview videos at 22-25 seconds rather than the 30-second maximum — shorter videos reduce drop-off mid-view and trigger completion signals that boost algorithmic recommendations more than full-length clips.
