The Most Important Element of App Store Optimization (ASO Keyword Research)

ASO is getting harder, with more AI-generated apps, more competition, and more developers fighting for the same high-volume keywords. But there’s one core ASO principle that still moves the needle… and most beginners miss it completely.

In this video, Steve P. Young breaks down the single most important element of ASO you MUST nail if you want real organic downloads:

👉 Finding the right, low-competition, high-intent keywords.

Steve shows exactly how to uncover high-value keywords using ASOMobile, how to spy on your competitors, and how to find the “hidden gem” terms that big brands ignore, but indie developers can rank #1 for.

If you're trying to grow your app with ASO in 2026, this video will save you months of frustration.

You’ll Learn:

✅ How to find low-competition, high-intent keywords your competitors ignore

✅ Why ASO alone is not enough unless you master keyword selection

✅ How to reverse-engineer top competitors like CalAI

✅ Real case study: How one app went from $0 → $2K/month → 5-figure exit just by changing one keyword

Tools Mentioned:

You don’t need a big team or budget to succeed in ASO.

ASOMobile helps you find the best keywords, track your rankings, and see what competitors are doing — all in one simple platform.

We are going back in time to August 2013 when I got my first "big-time" guest on. He is none other than the Co-Founder of Shazam, Chris Barton.

He has allowed me to interview him at a meetup along with speaking at my very first event that I hosted and someone I consider a friend. Here it with the old theme music. Enjoy!

Apple Search Ads for Paid Apps

Apple Search Ads for Paid Apps

You're going to discover how Apple Search Ads work for your paid apps. If you have good organic traffic and people are converting, then search ads will be very helpful for you. However, if you have less traffic, Apple won't consider your app as good or relevant, so you won't get a lot of impressions. As a result, your search visibility will be limited. You will not appear on some searches when a user looks for the app. Also, for those who think that their ranking will increase if they use search ads, this will only happen if your app is better than your competitors. This is because your conversion rate is NOT as good as the other apps, so it won't help you a lot. Watch Video on YouTube and Subscribe to our Channel: https://youtu.be/IBvjv-jMzjo
