When you have your app ready, the next step is getting it in the hands of users. But just submitting your app to an app store, whether the Apple App Store or Google Play, won't cut it. If people can't reach your app, then all of the work you put into it will go to waste and you might see other apps, which aren't as good as yours, climb to the top just because their developers were able to optimize them.
ASO (App Store Optimization) is all about setting up your app with the right keywords and other details to increase its visibility. This is done multiple ways, with the goal of increasing the chances of the app's discovery through the app store search and subsequently increase the number of downloads, pushing it higher up the charts.
Now, this isn't always as easy as it sounds, and you might need the help of some experts who are well versed in the mechanics behind this process, or at least some tools that can assist you in your quest for app store domination. Below is a comprehensive list of free and paid App Store Optimization tools.
