ASEO not a game changer for all apps.

A/B testing

@moritzdaan

LocalizationConversionDiscoverabilityTesting your screenshots with an ad.

Test conversion to install via AdWords/Facebook Downsides

Out of context (!) Not the actual size of a screenshot You have to follow the Ad Network rules (“Sexy”) No way to test description, title, icon, etc.

Traffic

Serve & Measure A/B

ie.

HTML5 Landing page

Create your own “App Store”

Build your own landing page: HTML, JS, CSS Integrate A/B testing tool

Send traffic to there and measure A/B Screenshots first 3 lines of description

A/B testingLocalizationConversionDiscoverabilityResults already huge for a trusted

brand like SoundCloud. Smaller apps should be able to profit even more.

All A/B-tests combined: > 10% conversion increase = 5.000.000+ extra installs

(hypothetical)

No resources to build it yourself? testnest.co and splitmetrics.com now built this as SaaS

(untested)
