How to Use Metadata Benchmarks

Written by Tony Bondar

This feature is available on the following plans: Scales Pack, and Enterprise.

Metadata Benchmarks are like a secret tool for people who develop and market apps.

Imagine you're playing a video game, and you have a map that shows you where all the hidden treasures are and what strategies the top players use. Metadata Benchmarks do something similar for app creators: they let you peek at what the most popular apps are doing, to make your app get noticed and get more downloads.

What are Metadata Benchmarks?

You can think of metadata as the special pieces of information or details on apps that help them get found more easily. This includes the app's name, a short description, pictures, and its icon.

Metadata Benchmarks show you what the top 50 apps do to make their details more interesting and easier to find.

How to find Metadata Benchmarks on your account

After logging in, go to Analyze Market and look for "Benchmarks."

Exploring and Understanding

When you're exploring, you can pick a country and a category to see what’s popular there.

Then, you can see all sorts of useful information, like how long the app titles should be, what kinds of pictures (screenshots) work best, and what styles of icons catch people's eyes.

Why this is helpful

With all this information, you can improve your app. If you see that top apps use bright colors in their icons, you might want to do the same. Or if you notice that the best apps in your category have a certain number of pictures, you can try that too. It's all about learning from the best and using those secrets to make your app stand out.

By looking at all this data and comparing it to what you're doing with your app, you can find ways to improve. Maybe you change your icon, add more pictures, or tweak your app's description. It's all about making small changes that can help more people notice and download your app.

In simple terms, Metadata Benchmarks help you spy on the competition, learn from the best, and use those secrets to make your app more popular. It's a smart way to get ahead in the crowded world of apps!
