Craft Winning Titles and Subtitles That Carry Your Core Keywords

Try formats like “Brand — Primary Outcome Keyword” or “Brand: Feature Keyword for Audience.” Keep it concise, readable, and memorable so your strongest keyword coexists with identity and promise, rather than drowning it.

Craft Winning Titles and Subtitles That Carry Your Core Keywords

Use subtitles to expand on your primary keyword with a specific benefit. For example, pair “habit tracker” with “build consistent routines with reminders and streaks,” meeting searchers who want proof you solve their exact problem.

Craft Winning Titles and Subtitles That Carry Your Core Keywords

Run controlled experiments on titles and subtitles when possible. Track impressions, tap-through rate, and conversion. Document each test, why you ran it, and what you learned to refine keyword placement intelligently over time.

Write Descriptions That Rank and Convert

Front-load the description with a clear promise and your primary keyword. Many users never expand the text, so use those lines to communicate outcomes, social proof, and a call to explore screenshots for specifics.

Write Descriptions That Rank and Convert

Group related terms—synonyms and supporting phrases—to help algorithms interpret context. Instead of repeating one phrase, include variations that reflect how different users describe the same problem and solution in plain language.

A Keyword Research Workflow You Can Repeat

Gather Inputs From Multiple Sources

Combine store analytics, search data, competitor pages, reviews, and in-app queries. Look for recurring language users choose unprompted. Patterns here often reveal unexpected high-intent terms you can integrate into copy.

Score and Prioritize With Purpose

Evaluate each keyword by intent strength, volume, difficulty, and strategic fit. Add a qualitative score for tone and brand alignment. Prioritization keeps your copy focused on the terms most likely to convert.

Maintain a Living Backlog

Track experiments, winners, and retired terms in a shared document. Revisit quarterly to reflect product updates and seasonality. Invite your team to suggest additions so the backlog benefits from diverse perspectives.

Test, Learn, and Share What Actually Works

Change one variable at a time, run tests long enough to collect meaningful data, and avoid misleading claims. Reliable results help your team trust decisions and keep progress compounding release after release.

Test, Learn, and Share What Actually Works

A keyword that spikes installs but harms activation is not “better.” Follow the funnel through onboarding, week-one retention, and monetization to ensure language attracts the right users, not just more users.

Inclusive, Compliant, and Trustworthy Keyword Usage

Avoid sensational claims and exclusionary wording. Use clear, supportive language that welcomes newcomers and experts. When users feel respected, they stay longer, leave better reviews, and strengthen your ranking signals.

Inclusive, Compliant, and Trustworthy Keyword Usage

Include accessibility-related terms where appropriate, like “voice control,” “screen reader support,” or “high contrast.” These keywords signal care, help the right users find you, and often increase overall satisfaction.

Inclusive, Compliant, and Trustworthy Keyword Usage

Check platform guidelines for restricted phrases, sensitive categories, and competitive claims. Compliance avoids setbacks and helps your keyword strategy mature steadily instead of resetting after avoidable violations.
