The ASO Book Is Here
A book on Advanced App Store Optimization
After months of work, countless hours of research, writing, rewriting because of iOS 11, editing, reviewing, we’re finally ready to release our book Advanced App Store Optimization to the public.
Myself and Gabe Kwakyi set out in February to create a complete, unabridged guide for ASO. The result is coming in at 370 pages and aims to cover ASO from every angle.
The book consists of 6 parts:
- The ASO Stack — a cheat sheet for mobile marketers to improve their app store presence
- Getting ready for iOS 11 — implications for ASO
- Increasing Visibility — Improving visibility in the app stores through search & browse
- Increasing Conversion — turning views into downloads, with iOS category conversion rate benchmarks from TUNE that weren’t published before
- Tools—The ASO practitioner’s toolkit
- Outside of the Stores — External and internal influences on ASO
A digital version (PDF) is available now for $39 ex VAT. A printed edition will be published later this year at $65 ex VAT which includes an eBook copy (preorder here).
We hope that this book will be a valuable resource to anyone practicing ASO, from beginners who have just had their first app approved, to seasoned ASO professionals looking to stay up-to-date on the cutting edge of ASO.
