App Store Connect and Google Play Console Ranking Signals, Visual Asset CRO, Reviews and Ratings Velocity, the SEO Plus ASO Coordination Layer, App Pack Inclusion, and Apple Intelligence App Discovery

A comprehensive installation and audit reference for App Store Optimization. ASO is the parallel discipline to SEO that governs how mobile apps are discovered inside Apple App Store and Google Play. It is its own surface (in-store search and browse, editorial features, store-level personalization) and it overlaps with SEO at the web layer (the marketing page that promotes the app, App Pack inclusion in Google SERPs, Apple Spotlight indexing, Siri Suggestions, deep-link infrastructure tying web URLs to in-app destinations). Dual purpose: installation manual and audit document.

Cross-stack implementation note: ASO has a stack-agnostic web layer (the marketing page, deep-link config files, schema, App Pack signaling) and an app-specific layer (App Store Connect, Play Console, in-app review APIs, on-device indexing). Web layer code samples are plain HTML for clarity. For React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, Hugo, 11ty, Remix, WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow equivalents see framework-cross-stack-implementation.md. For pure CSR SPAs see framework-react.md. For Tailwind concerns see framework-tailwind.md. The app-specific layer lives inside the developer consoles and is platform-bound regardless of web stack.
