- Optimize app metadata (titles, descriptions, keywords), visual assets (screenshots, previews), and manage review strategies.
- Conduct keyword research and competitive analysis for both SEO and ASO, using AI-enhanced and traditional tools.
- Investigate and respond to the evolving impact of LLM-based search experiences (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) on discoverability, brand presence, and content optimization strategies.
- Manage and optimize AI-powered workflows for search optimization using tools such as:
- Surfer SEO, NeuronWriter, ChatGPT (SEO)
- AppTweak, Sensor Tower (ASO)
- Align SEO/ASO efforts with Paid Media and Earned Media strategies to maximize holistic campaign performance and synergy across channels.
