Ah, back to school season. You can just hear the reluctant groans of kids and young adults everywhere as summer break screeches to a halt. But what does back-to-school mean for ASO?
All those free hours spent downloading and using mobile apps are going to see a major cut back.
Yikes!
But don’t fret. School hours aren’t all that bad.
Why?
The virality effect: As soon as school is back in session, there are massive groups of young people getting together and discussing their favorite apps they found over summer break. Halls are packed with groups giggling over smartphones and friends begin to swap their favorite games and apps.
Younger students probably know how to share an app from the app store, but many students will just download by typing in their friends’ recommendations organically into the search bar. This influx in organic searches for your name can boost your app’s rankings!
