Keyword-rich, brand-aligned
Detailed Explanation
When creating a title for an app, it's important to include keywords that users might search for. For instance, a fitness app should include words like 'fitness', 'exercise', or 'workout' in its title. This helps improve the app's visibility in app stores. Additionally, the title should reflect your brand to ensure that users can easily recognize it.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the app title like the title of a book. If a book is about cooking, and the title includes the word 'cooking', potential readers searching for cooking books are more likely to find it.

Feature key benefits and CTAs

The short description should clearly highlight the app's main benefits and include a call to action (CTA). This means stating what the app does and encouraging users to download it. For example, if your app helps users track their expenses, your description could say, 'Easily track your expenses and save money β download now!'
Examples & Analogies
