ASO Strategy
Differentiate with specific use-case keywords ('beat maker', 'guitar tuner', 'DJ mixer', 'karaoke app') rather than competing with streaming giants for 'music app'.
For streaming apps, highlight exclusive content, audio quality ('lossless', 'hi-res'), and offline download capabilities in metadata and screenshots.
Target musician and creator keywords if your app is a tool — 'music production', 'audio recorder', and 'metronome' have lower competition than streaming keywords.
