The ASO Hack You’re Probably Not Using: In-App Events
If you’re running a small or medium app studio, you know the drill: you push updates, polish your product page, maybe even run some ads — yet your app still feels buried under competitors.
Here’s the secret most teams are overlooking: App Store In-App Events (IAEs).
Why In-App Events Boost ASO and Visibility
Apple designed IAEs to highlight what’s happening inside your app — tournaments, launches, live events, seasonal promos. The kicker? They don’t just show off new content, they supercharge your App Store Optimization (ASO):
- Extra keywords: event titles and short descriptions are indexed for search.
- More discovery: IAEs appear in search results, curated collections, and personalized recommendations.
- Better re-engagement: users who already downloaded your app see fresh event cards instead of static screenshots.
- Conversion lift: events create urgency and highlight “what’s new,” driving installs.
- More real estate: showing both your app listing and event card pushes competitors further down.
For small studios, this is a rare chance to stand out against giant publishers — without pouring money into ads.
The Catch: They Take Work
The benefits are undeniable, but creating a great In-App Event usually takes a team effort:
- Designers for banners or short videos.
- Marketers for keyword-aware, engaging copy.
- Developers to align updates with the event.
- Managers to coordinate it all on deadline (often in multiple languages).
That’s why many indie or mid-sized teams skip IAEs altogether, leaving growth opportunities on the table.
