SEO

Search acquisition begins with the destination: an app-store listing, an owned download page or a web page answering a buyer question. An app can seed web discovery with a modest download landing page and a few resources while keeping store metadata and paid keyword search as separate acquisition routes. Technical readiness, target-market vocabulary and conversion context precede content scale. Once search history exists, repair, refresh, pruning, new pages and off-page work compete in a measured queue; AI-search citations and qualified clicks remain separate from ranking or domain authority.

Start here

1. Auditing Web Pages for Search and Answer-Engine Bots — Make the destination crawlable before investing in search.
2. Seeding Web Search Traffic into App Installs — For a new app, decide what belongs in a minimal owned search surface.
3. Localizing Keyword Research by Market — Ground expansion in the target market's vocabulary and demand.
4. Running One Prioritized SEO Action per Cycle — Once history exists, prioritize measured work rather than fixed publishing quotas.
