Frequently asked questions
- What is a good conversion rate (CVR) on Google Play?
- Across all Google Play categories, the median store listing conversion rate is approximately 26% to 28%. Top 10% apps achieve 40% to 50%+ CVR, while apps below 18% suffer from weak icon appeal, unclear first screenshots, or high drop-off from unlocalized listings.
- How does Google Play calculate store listing conversion rate?
- Google Play divides your unique first-time installers by the number of unique store listing page visitors during the same time window. Retained installs (users who keep the app for at least 1 day or 30 days) are tracked separately in Play Console Acquisition reports.
- Why did my conversion rate suddenly drop after an update?
- Common causes include: an unappealing or low-contrast new app icon, changing your first 3 screenshots from direct UI to vague marketing headlines, negative recent reviews appearing on your listing, or running broad paid ad campaigns that drive low-intent traffic.
- How can I run Store Listing Experiments (A/B testing) in Play Console?
- In Google Play Console, navigate to Grow > Store presence > Store listing experiments. You can test up to 3 variants against your current listing for icons, screenshots, promo videos, and descriptions with 50/50 traffic splits.
