SEO Tips For Marketing Your App

If you have developed a great app then you need to start marketing it in order to increase sales and make sure you are earning some money with your app. It is a really good idea to learn some basic SEO to guarantee that search engines rank your new app higher and people will be more able to find it.
Here are some essential SEO tips to help you out.

Make Sure You Have Strong Online Presence

The first thing you need to do is to make sure you have a strong online presence even if you are only going to publish this one app. Make sure you brand your app by building a website to talk about the app and by joining social media platforms in order to market your app. This is important because the more there is overall talk about your app the more you are going to get people interested. So before you publish your app start building an online presence.

Be Wise With The Listing

When you are listing your app on the marketplace it is really important that you include links to your webpages as these will help improve your search engine ranking. Many major companies are really bad at using their links as part of the listing process and you really shouldn’t do the same mistake. So link directly to your landing pages and make sure your app name is included in this landing page to improve your ranking even more.

Search The Keywords People Use

When you get people using your app it is really important that you look into their use of the app and see if you can find some keywords based on this information. For instance, if you have an app about cooking recipes you should look what are the recipes people using your app are using the most and then take advantage of this recipe as a keyword to get more people interested in your app.

Always Link To A Marketplace

When you are including a link to buy your app you can’t make the mistake of forgetting to use the name of the marketplace and your app name. What this means is that instead of linking with the anchor text of “Buy here for iPhones” you must mention your app name “Buy X here for iPhones”, with X obviously being your app. Search engines pick this up a lot better than if you don’t use it. The same goes for always mentioning the correct marketplace in your app’s anchor text as well.

Talk About Development

You can also get more views and more people talking about your app if you blog about the development process. So from the moment you download an Android software development kit to the moment you publish it is a good idea to blog about the process and get people interested on your product.

Get People Talking

You also want to promote as much organic marketing as possible because this is really the best form of SEO for any app. Marketing Land suggests using social media and encouragement to get people to link and talk about your app as much as possible.

Computer Games Verses Traditional Toys

We can’t get away from the fact that the world of technology is part of our every-day lives and with that comes a change in personal needs and wants. So, are parents in general falling into the trap of letting their kids to play on computers, laptops, PlayStations, etc and have the latest gadget instead of a toy that is a little more traditional; an example being pogo sticks.

Getting the Right Balance 

Technology for children isn’t all bad, as computer games are said to stimulate the imagination, which in turn enables the kids to be more creative. On the other hand, is it healthy if they spend the majority of their time playing on a computer console? Not really and one of the main issues with this is that they don’t get to play with their friends outside, whether that be in the garden, the woods, local park and so on. Therefore, missing out on being children and doing things those children can learn a lot from. Also, do parents see it as an easy way to keep children quiet and entertained, whilst their busy doing the housework etc. Not only is it very easy to sit children in front of the computer – there’s no mess and it keeps them quiet too. However, many parents that let their children play on consoles for long periods of time are becoming increasingly worried in regards to the time that children are spending on computers, laptops, IPads and technology generally.

Encourage Children to Play with more Traditional Toys

With Christmas approaching, I took it upon myself to find some amazing kids gifts and toys that don’t rely on technology, batteries or electricity. As I began to investigate the world of traditional toys I was totally amazed by the masses of choice out there; below are some examples:

Traditional Children’s Toys

To encourage kids to become more active I stumbled across the happy hopperz range. These toys are just fantastic. Best described as animal bouncy hoppers, kids will spend many fun hours bouncing on these. And for older kids we found the very much loved retro space hoppers. Bet you remember those as kids yourself!!

Outdoor Toys

Some other great outdoor toys we discovered were jump rocket launchers and flying saucers (a bit like Freezbies!) and we did have a soft spot for kites. There’s nothing’s quite as satisfying as a flying kite soaring way up into the air!!! Most children have very vivid imaginations and love to absorb themselves in the world of make believe.  To develop children’s imaginations even further pop up play tents make great gifts for kids. There are so many great designs to choose from – you really would be spoilt for choice.

Creative Gifts for Kids

We discovered a wide range of gifts to get the creative side out of children, from a simple colouring book or art set to Friendship Bracelets Making Sets, Chocolate Pizza Making Kits and even Dinosaur Excavation and Model making sets. No need to panic if you are not creative yourself as the kits we found contained everything needed to create a fabulous work of art, (plus a full set of instructions.)

Grow Kits

We particularly liked the kid’s gifts that related to the real living world and as we explored these in more details we realized just how many great fun gifts were out there. We loved the Children’s Seed Kits. How wonderful for kids to watch little tiny seeds grow into giant sunflowers or beanstalks, for example. How super cool would it be to see butterfly eggs hatch into caterpillars and then eventually turn into beautiful butterflies. Well we managed to find a Butterfly Garden kit that does just that.

Building Models

For children who love to build and make models, then Construction Toys and Sets are great gifts for kids. Lego is still as popular as ever, but I would recommend ZooB as a great alternative.

Family Games

Family board games are a great way to encourage interaction, communication and co-operation between families and friends. I’m sure we all remember snakes and ladders, monopoly, ludo - timeless classics that have been around for generations. These are great games for children to play with grandparents, especially as Grandma and Granddad can probably remember playing them as children themselves. Can you remember the Beetle game with a dice? Well we found ‘build a Beetle’ - the new up to date version of that retro game…..

I can safely say that in our search to find toys and find toys and kids presents that didn’t involve computers, PlayStations. X boxes etc, we were not disappointed.  What’s more we also discovered that you don’t have to spend a fortune when it comes to buying good quality traditional gifts for kids.
