App Search Optimisation - Downloads information
-
Hi
Where do you get accurate app download information from (I cant find in iTunes) ?
Cheers

Thanks John
I do use SensorTower, really looking for a service that combines all, a hybrid of appfigures and sensortower is desired
Will check Appcodes when get a chance
Thanks for all your comments

That's the one thing Appfigures is still missing. When I asked their support about that, they said they're working on it. Appcodes does a reasonable job at tracking that, and if you ever want to quickly see the keywords an app is using, you can use Sensortower for that. I don't subscribe to either of those sites ongoing.

Thanks for confirming that John !
PS - App Figures, which is great btw (thanks for the heads up), doesnt offer keyword rank reports as far as i can see (only category)
-
Yup! It'll all be in iTunes Connect, which is the site in which your developers will be uploading your app to Apple. There are different access levels... I don't recall what they are, but I believe there is a marketing one that should give you access to Sales and Trends report.

ok great many thanks John, sorry but just to confirm, thats in iTunes directly we should be able to get all that data !!
-
Our app is free (with no in-app purchases), so it just shows downloads in that report. It looks like the report can toggle between downloads, updates, and in-app purchases, so you should be able to see both here with no issues.
Have a great weekend yourself!

Thats great information thanks John !
Our app is free (but with in app purchases), will iTunes data (sales & trends or other section) tell us the actual number of downloads (as opposed to sales) ?
Thanks for the heads up re Appfigures too
Have a great weekend !
All Best

The data in the Sales and Trends report in iTunes Connect should be considered the truth. If you don't see that report, you should talk to whomever is your admin in iTunes Connect to give you the appropriate access.
I use a site I really like called Appfigures.com that links up to my iTunes Connect to track rankings over time, and get a better picture of downloads by country over time. They also pull data on reviews, where you're being featured, and general rankings if you want to see how other apps rank compared to yours. They have a free trial if you want to try it out, and it's like $5/mo for one app after that, so it won't break the bank.

How Popular is Google Image Search?
Are there any stats on the volume of searches through Google's Image Search? My assumption is that more users are turning to image search to shop but I haven't found any supporting data. I know that click-throughs to site have fallen after Google's recent changes to the UI but still just interested in initial search volume.

Pros and Cons Google Site Search
I'm having a hard time finding the actual pros and cons of implementing Google Site Search on a website. Thoughts? Any data on bounce rate of internal SERP because UX doesn't look like the website? I know you can customize, but most examples I've seen still look pretty different from the stie's native style. Any other cons? Data issues, etc?

Storing & Analyzing Site Search Phrases
We are adding a JQuery smart search to our site that provides product suggestions as our visitors type. I can create a simple script to store precisely what the visitors are searching for and how they type it. However... I am not sure how to best analyze the data for use. Simply storing the data does not tell me how many times a particular phrase was used. I believe a smart suggestion search tool will skew my results, as it will suggest what I list my product names as in my database rather than what they call it. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I found a great JQuery script for the suggestion search, but is there anything out there for storing and analyzing the user search input?
