HTML SEO On-metadata Optimization Research by TheTool & PICKASO
To understand how SEO can be used to optimize for Google Play, we decided to study the use of different HTML elements and how frequently they are present within the store listings.
Each Google Play Store on-metadata field was studied in terms of:
- Length (number of used characters)
- Emojis
As for the Description field, the presence of all these elements was also studied:
- Bold (<b> </b>)
- Italic (<i> </i>)
- Color (<font color=”$COLOR”> </font>
- Headings (<h1> </h1>, <h2> </h2>, <h3> </h3>)
The data that is presented in this image was taken from a total of 2.244.693 apps that were available on Google Play Store the day of the study (February 18th, 2020) for the language EN-US (English of the United States). Want to discover all the data we’ve gathered?
