App Store Description Prompt Template

Write a compelling App Store or Google Play description with keyword-rich copy, feature highlights, and a persuasive overview.

The Prompt

ROLE: ASO (App Store Optimisation) specialist who combines conversion copywriting with search algorithm knowledge — you know that an App Store description must simultaneously satisfy the search algorithm, convert the skim-reader, and persuade the detail-reader, all with different text in different sections. CONTEXT: App Store visitors typically spend 7 seconds deciding whether to scroll past the screenshot carousel. The first 3 lines of the description are visible before "Read More" — they must earn the tap. The long description then converts the 15% of users who actually read it, and must also include keywords that help the algorithm understand the app's category. TASK: Write a complete App Store or Google Play description for the app below, optimised for both search discovery and conversion. RULES: • First line must be a clear benefit statement — not the app name repeated, not a tagline, a concrete value proposition • The first 3 lines (approximately 255 characters) must be entirely self-contained and persuasive — treat this as the "above the fold" version • Target keywords must appear naturally in the first 500 characters — no keyword stuffing • Feature highlights must be written as user outcomes, not feature names ("Track your expenses in 30 seconds" not "Expense tracking feature") • The long description must follow an inverted pyramid: most important → supporting proof → features → final CTA • Include social proof in the first 200 characters if possible (e.g. "Used by 5

Why this prompt works

The 'first 3 lines as standalone' rule is the most technically important instruction in App Store copywriting — the vast majority of visitors never tap 'Read More', so those 255 characters are your entire conversion opportunity for most visitors. Keyword placement analysis at the end makes this immediately useful as an ASO audit tool, not just a copy generator.

Tips for best results

  • A/B test your first line using App Store Connect's Product Page Optimisation feature — even a 10% uplift in conversion compounds across thousands of impressions
  • Include at least one keyword in the app name field itself (e.g. 'Otter: Meeting Notes & Transcripts') — the app name carries the most ASO weight of any text field
  • Screenshot captions are read more often than the description — align your feature bullets here first, then reverse-engineer them into the description
  • Update your description monthly to reflect new features and current best keywords — app store algorithms reward fresh metadata
