Store search & keywords
Search terms, competitor listings and the metadata fields each store actually indexes, mapped to what your app genuinely does.
A better first impression. Before the first install.
App Store and Google Play optimization that connects search demand, a clear promise and creative people understand. Build a stronger route from discovery to download.

Three moments

Be found by what you do.
Keywords, titles and subtitles decide which apps appear when someone describes the problem instead of naming a brand.

A connected approach
to the store.
Six parts of the same listing strategy. Discovery and conversion move together, which is where most of the compounding comes from.
Titles, subtitles & description
Copy written for App Store and Google Play separately, carrying the same promise in the words each store’s audience uses.
Screenshots & creative direction
A screenshot sequence that explains the benefit in order, plus preview video direction and the icon variations worth testing.
Localization
Listings adapted for priority markets — search terms, tone and references — rather than run through translation and shipped.
Ratings & reviews
Prompt timing, response templates and a loop that gets recurring product complaints back to the people who can fix them.
Store experiments
Product page optimization and store listing experiments sized to the traffic your app actually has, so a result means something.

Why teams bring
this work to us.
The same six questions, answered three different ways.
| Area | With 1nstat | A typical agency | In-house, alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strategy | One roadmap, both stores | A fixed deliverables list | Clear intent, no capacity |
| Store search | Metadata built from real demand | A keyword list, handed over | Guesswork between releases |
| Creative | A screenshot sequence with an argument | A batch of designs | Whatever the designer has time for |
| Localization | Researched market by market | Translated, then shipped | One market, when there’s room |
| Measurement | Through to installs and retention | Ranking screenshots | Whatever the console shows |
| Working with you | A named strategist, open reasoning | An account manager in between | Full context, no hours |
No package.
A scope that fits.
App maturity, stores, markets and release cadence decide the shape. This is in every engagement.
- A listing audit for App Store and Google Play
- Store search research mapped to what your app does
- Metadata written separately for each store
- A screenshot sequence and a creative brief
- Localization for the markets that earn it
- A ratings and reviews approach your team can run
- An experiment plan sized to your actual traffic
- A named strategist and a standing review of what changed
Questions worth
asking first.
Can you work with both app stores?
Yes. We adapt the copy, assets and optimization plan to App Store and Google Play rather than treating their listings as the same page in two places. They index different fields and reward different things.
How long before ASO changes show results?
Metadata changes can move impressions within a couple of weeks once the store re-indexes. Creative changes affect page conversion immediately but need enough traffic to read. Rankings in competitive categories take longer and depend partly on install velocity you can’t fully control.
Do you guarantee more installs?
No. Discovery and conversion depend on demand, competition, product quality and the traffic you already have. We agree a baseline, make focused changes and report what the available data can honestly support.
Do you write the listing or just brief it?
Either. We can write the copy directly, or hand your team briefs with the search terms, the constraints of each field and the reasoning behind them. We agree which model applies before the engagement starts.
Do you design the screenshots?
We plan the sequence, write the captions and brief the design. Production can be ours or yours — many teams prefer to keep it with the designer who already owns the product’s visual language.
Which markets should we localize first?
The ones with existing download interest, a realistic competitive gap and a product that already works there. We look at your console data before recommending a list, and we would rather do three markets properly than twelve badly.
Can we combine ASO with paid acquisition?
Yes. Store-page work and Apple Ads or Google App campaigns support each other directly — paid traffic lands on the same listing. Media management and advertising spend are scoped separately.
What do you need from us to start?
Console access for both stores, whatever analytics you have on what happens after the install, and someone who can answer questions about the product and the roadmap. Knowing release timing helps us plan tests around it.
Who owns the work if we stop?
You do. The research, the copy, the creative briefs and the documentation stay yours, and we hand over the roadmap and the reasoning behind it.
