?? Google Play Store Updates: A Game Changer for App Developers and Marketers

Google’s Custom Store Listings: Tailored Marketing by Keywords?

Exciting news! On May 15th, Google introduced a significant update to the Play Console: Custom Store Listings (CSLs) by search keywords. This new feature allows developers to:

• Target store visitors searching for specific benefits that your app or game provides.
• Create impactful listings with suggested keywords from the Play Console.
• Leverage Gemini, Google’s AI, for generating suggested descriptions.

How Do Google’s CSLs Compare to Apple’s CPPs in iOS Search Results??

• No Paid Search Needed: CSLs enable you to customize your store listing based on what users are searching for organically, unlike Apple’s Custom Product Pages (CPPs).
• Flexible Customization: CSLs allow changes to any creative or text metadata to align with user intent, whereas CPPs are limited to updating screenshots, promotional text, and/or app previews.
• More Flexibility: Google Play Store allows up to 50 CSLs compared to 35 CPPs on iOS.

New Play Store Homepage and Search UI?

The Play Store is also rolling out a new homepage and search interface, featuring a dedicated “Search” tab in the center of the bottom bar, replacing the traditional search bar at the top. This change aims to enhance user experience and streamline search functionality. Note that this update is not yet widely available.
