Improve SEO
Both your vendor page and each app-specific product page in the App Store have settings for search engine optimization (SEO).
You can add or change the following in the Developer Portal:
| Setting | Where to change it |
|---|---|
| Search-engine-friendly name (company) | Partner > Settings |
| Search-engine-friendly name (app) | App page > Settings |
| Meta description (company) | Partner > App Store information > Partner profile |
| Meta description (app) | App page > App Store information > SEO |
| Meta keywords (app) | App page > App Store information > SEO |
A search-engine-friendly name is:
- Short
- Keyword-rich
- Lower-case
- Using dashes to indicate space
- Not containing characters that aren’t valid in web addresses
- Not containing unimportant words
A meta description is a brief summary of a web page and should give the user an idea of the content.
It is placed in the <head> HTML tag and displayed in search engine results pages and can impact the click-through rate (CTR).
It should:
- Use only alphanumeric characters
- Be between 50 and 160 characters: long enough to be sufficiently descriptive yet avoid getting truncated by the search engine
- Use short sentences
- Contain your target keywords
- Be accurate, compelling, and pertinent to the search
Meta keywords range from single words to complex phrases and are used to inform website content in a more focused way than the description.
