How to Write App Store Metadata That Converts

Great app store metadata does two jobs at once: it helps the algorithm rank you, and it persuades a human to tap Install. Here's a simple framework that balances both.

The title: brand + keyword

Format: 'Brand — Primary Keyword Phrase'. This keeps your brand front-and-center while capturing your highest-value search term. Stay within 30 characters.

The description: benefits first

Only the first three lines are visible before the 'more' fold. Open with outcomes, not features. Follow with a scannable, benefit-led bullet list, then social proof.

People don't install features — they install better versions of themselves. Lead with the transformation.

Let AI write the first draft

Writing four metadata variants by hand is slow. App3DShot's AI generates a complete, ASO-aware metadata set — title, subtitle, keyword field, and description — from a one-line app description, then you refine.
