One Letter That Can Make A Huge Difference In your iOS Keyword Rankings

By Hugh Kimura·Feb 1, 2014·3 min read

The article emphasizes the importance of considering both singular and plural forms of keywords in iOS App Store Optimization. Using examples like 'photograph' vs 'photographs' and 'scan' vs 'scans', it shows that plural versions often have lower Difficulty Scores and fewer competing apps, yet similar traffic levels. This can provide an edge in ranking.

However, relevance must be maintained, and testing is recommended. The key takeaway is to always evaluate both forms to potentially improve keyword performance with minimal effort.

The root cause is ESP link wrapping, which breaks deep link context and attribution. Fixing the handoff through proper deep linking can double purchase rates and unlock channel performance. Brands must treat the link as a continuation layer, not a redirect, and ensure context survives the transition.
