Keywords and Search Queries of your relevant niches

You Could Use various Search Queries from Google and Keyword research tools like SEMrush and Ahrefs. All have to be with a motive of

  • Finding alternate and Relatable Keywords to your main keywords
And User's Search Intent

Always keep the User's Search intent behind every targeted keyword. It always aims to answer all the search queries and help readers find out the best possible and relevant answer to their problems. You must include Call to Action (CTA) in your Content to fulfill your purpose of converting customers.

While optimizing Content, remember to align Relevancy and value to your audience.

Customer Experience

The structure of Website pages, Content, and the overall layout will affect how visitors interact with them. Engaging Content can increase the chances of visitors sharing your Content, increasing your ranking in the Search Engine Results Page (SERP).

Keep these things in mind while creating content and developing the pages-

  • Make Sure your Content doesn't have any typing errors or grammatical mistakes.

  • Heading & sub-heading
  • Meta Description and Meta Title
  • Image texts.
  • URLs

You can also check out top-ranking competitors' approaches towards their Content ( Structure, writing style, images, etc.)

URL Optimization

Website URLs are the first thing any search engine interacts with. Always consider the user's intent, and search engine algorithms while creating the URL of your website.

**Users quickly read it, and Google can easily index it. **

Shorter URLs with exact keywords will perform better than any other LSI keywords.

You can use synonyms or alternative words on your website's related pages. Google algorithms easily some dynamics URLs created by CMS platforms, but it will create issues with the audience, so always try to keep well defined and static URLs.

Internal Linking Structure

As the name suggests, Internal Linking links one page to another page in your website or domain.

The main principle of linking is to link your pages to higher-ranking pages or websites. Always use proper and relevant keywords as the anchor text to link. You can also add relevant posts through various plugins and ensure appropriate posts.

Technical SEO Optimization

A Critical part of SEO consists of optimizing the website as a whole as per Search Engine Algorithms, with the objective of easy crawling and indexing the website by Google.

As per the report, 47% of visitors expect sites to load in two seconds or less. If they stick or wait around to load your website more than that, please stop expecting them to return.

To keep your visitors intact and reduce the bounce rate, optimize your site to load in three seconds.

You need to focus on a few factors in mind to optimize your site loading speed-

Minimize HTTP requests

HTTP requests made for each one of these elements like -images, stylesheets, and scripts. So if your website has more components, it will take more time to load.

You can remove the unused or unnecessary elements to Minimize the number of requests of those elements will decrease the loading time.

Optimizing Robot.txt

Robot.txt is a simple text file that provides information to Search engine crawlers on which page they have to index and crawl during the indexing and crawling process. If the Robot.txt file is missing or not well-formatted, then the search engine will crawl all pages of your website.

9. App Store Marketing Strategies

Being in Mobile App Development, you had to understand that knowing App Store Marketing is crucial as other marketing plans.

App Store Marketing or ASO means a group of planning that aims to improve your app's ranking and visibility in app stores like Google Play Store and Apple store. If done correctly, it will increase your organic download.

Things to consider while optimizing your app to increase visibility-

App Title

App title plays a vital role in increasing the visibility of your app and making it stand out from the crowd. Always be clear and Unique while making it relevant to what you are offering. You can also include brand name if you wish

Google Play Store only provides 50 Characters for App Name, whereas Apple Store provides only 30 characters.

Keywords

Use relevant and trending keywords and phrases with high search volume; primary keywords can be hard to rank, so you can use LSI keywords as we did during the SEO plan.

App Description

The app description fully defines your app, what the app does, and how the audience will benefit from this app, including the new update.

So, keep the description as natural as possible while including relevant keywords and correct information.

App icon

App Icon just acts as the logo for your mobile apps on the Store. You have to use a clear and eye-catching icon in its required proper size.

In Apple App Store the minimum size for icon is 1024px (length) and 1024px ( width) While in Google Store the minimum size is 512px (length) and 512 px (width).

Visual Presentation

While optimizing your mobile app on App Store, attach screenshots of your apps describing how your app works. You can also add an informative video about your app.

Rating and Reviews

Rating and reviews are are some of the most critical parts of your app store optimization process. More positive thoughts can bring more organic downloads, get more credibility, and increase your ranking.
