The Constraint

What Had to Change

makromusic was competing in a crowded music category with only 22 indexed keywords and a 3.4-star app rating. The store presence limited how often relevant users could discover the app and introduced trust friction when they reached the product page.

The Intervention

How the Work Moved Forward

01

Build the Foundation

We built a 90-day ASO program around two connected workstreams: expand the app’s semantic keyword coverage and improve the timing of in-app rating prompts. The aim was to strengthen both discovery and trust across the store journey.

02

Expand the Semantic Footprint

We moved beyond a short list of existing terms and mapped a broader semantic core around relevant user intent. The first priorities combined relevance with attainable ranking opportunity, building coverage before pursuing more competitive generic terms.

03

Reduce Trust Friction

Discovery alone could not resolve the trust barrier created by a 3.4-star rating. Rating prompts were repositioned around positive product moments so satisfied users had a more relevant opportunity to share feedback. During the engagement, the app rating increased to 4.5 stars.

Over the 90-day engagement, indexed keywords increased from 22 to 333 and the app rating moved from 3.4 to 4.5 stars. Strategic terms also progressed into top-three and number-one positions.

The program increased indexed keyword coverage from 22 to 333. Selected generic terms moved from outside the top 100 into the top three, with multiple strategic keywords reaching the number-one position.

The result was a stronger discovery foundation built around relevant search intent, supported by a store rating that reduced friction for users evaluating the app.
