Listing Optimization Essentials

  • Title: <Action verb> + <Benefit>, max 45 chars, no keyword stuffing
  • Description first 150 chars: shown in search — make them count
  • Structure: problem → solution → key benefits → CTA
  • Screenshots: annotate features, show real UI, 1280×800
  • Category: choose most specific fit
