The challenge
A fast-growing mobile app offering AI-powered language learning features wanted to increase visibility and downloads in international markets—including Germany, the UAE, and the UK.
Despite positive user reviews and competitive features, their app was buried under better-optimized competitors. Code Elevator’s ASO experts were brought in to boost organic downloads, enhance visibility, and localize app store listings for multiple regions.
- Inconsistent search visibility across App Store and Google Play
- Poor keyword ranking in non-English markets
- Generic, untranslated metadata for global audiences
- Low install-to-open rate due to unoptimized visuals and unclear messaging
- No A/B testing in place for icons, screenshots, or descriptions
- The objective was to increase downloads and improve discoverability in at least four international markets—without paid ads.
