Optimizing the description of your mobile application on download platforms like the App Store and Google Play Store is crucial to attract and convince potential users. The long description, a key element of your app listing, provides a valuable opportunity to detail the features, benefits and values of your app.
Discover in this article how to effectively optimize the long description to maximize its impact on users.
Why is the long description on the App Store and Google Play Store important?
The main objective of the long description on the Apple Store and Google Play Store is to describe the activity and main features of your mobile application to convince users and encourage them to download.
Here's why it's so important:
Detailed information: The long description provides the opportunity to provide detailed information about your application. This allows users to get a comprehensive overview of what your app does, its key features, its benefits, and how it can meet their specific needs.
Answers to questions: Potential users may have questions about your mobile app before downloading it. A complete description can answer these questions and dispel doubts. This may include details on compatibility, requirements, specific features, etc.
ASO and visibility: The long description is also an important element for the organic referencing (ASO) of your mobile application. Using relevant keywords in the description can improve your app's visibility in App Store and Google Play Store search results, making it easier for users to find it.
Even though users will mainly look at visuals such as screenshots and not read your entire description, it is important to write it perfectly to give yourself the best chance of being more visible and placing words relevant keys or keyphrases.
The differences between the Apple Store and Google Play Store
The main difference between the two stores is that your app's long description is a ranking factor for the Google Play Store and not the Apple Store. This means that for the Apple Store, you can focus on promoting your brand and the benefits of your app to convince the user to download your mobile app. Google Play Store, on the other hand, places high weight on your app's long description. It is therefore essential to follow ASO (App Store Optimization) best practices to increase your chances of ranking.

Why include keywords in the long description on the App Store and Google Play Store?
Selection of relevant and popular keywords is essential to the ranking algorithm. The goal is to understand user behavior on the stores and position yourself on effective keywords or key expressions while bypassing the competition.
To make the choice of your keywords effective, the most important ones must appear in the first sentences of your long description. Since people won't typically read your entire description, it's important to recognize this behavior and grab their attention from the start of your description. Additionally, Google Play Store places more emphasis on its first few sentences when evaluating your long description. The introduction to your long description should therefore be of high quality and should include your most important keywords.
