ASO Strategy
Align metadata updates with major sporting events (World Cup, Super Bowl, Olympics, Premier League season) — sports app searches spike 300%+ during major competitions.
Target sport-specific keywords ('football scores', 'NBA live', 'cricket app', 'fantasy football') — each sport has its own keyword ecosystem with varying competition levels.
Localize sport names and terminology for each market — 'football' means soccer in Europe but American football in the US; 'cricket' dominates in India and Australia.
