Why custom product pages

Same app. Different reasons to download.

Your App Store page shows everyone the same screenshots, whatever they searched for. A custom product page is another version of that page, made for one search. Pagefully plans them and builds each one from your own screenshots.

What it is

One app. A page for each search.

Lull is a sleep sounds app. Its default page leads with its catalogue. The custom page below is the same listing, same name and reviews, shown to people who searched for white noise for a baby.

Default pageWhat everyone sees today

Whatever they searched for.

Custom product pageFor people searching “white noise for babies”

The same screenshots, with headlines about the thing they came for.

  • 70custom product pages per app, Apple’s limit. Most apps use none.
  • 1default page, which stays exactly as it is. A custom page is added beside it.
  • 0new builds. Pages are made in App Store Connect, from screenshots you already have.
Why it matters

The first look decides the download.

People decide in seconds, from the first screenshot. A page that leads with the reason they came gives them that decision at once.

People see what they came for

Someone who searched “white noise for babies” sees the baby sounds first, not a general story about sleep. The page answers the search.

More downloads from the same people

A page that answers the search turns more of the same visitors into downloads. Nothing else changes: same app, same price, same reviews.

You learn which message works

Each page gets its own views and downloads from Apple, so you see which reason to download brings people in, and carry it into your ads and your default page.

+2.5pts1Average conversion gain Apple reports for people sent to a custom product page. Against a 1.6% default. Mostly people arriving from ads and links, so it is not a forecast for search.
+8.6%2More installs one developer measured from a single custom product page in organic search. One app’s result, from a page made for one kind of search. Yours will depend on the search and the page.
How people reach a page

Meet people where they find you.

A page is shown three ways. None needs an ad budget.

App Store search

For the searches you already show up for

Give a page keywords from your latest approved version and Apple shows it in those searches instead of your default page.8 It doesn’t lift your ranking by itself; it makes the first look count.

Shared links

For your website, newsletter and creators

Every page has its own link. Send a tutorial’s readers or a creator’s audience to the page that shows what they just saw.

Apple Ads

For ads, if you run them

Point an ad group at the page that matches its keywords, so the ad and the page after the tap make the same promise.

Evidence

What developers have measured.

Published results from other developers, one for each way a page is reached. Each says what it shows and what it doesn’t. None is a forecast for your app.

Where to start

One good page is enough to start.

A good first page has two things: a use your default page doesn’t lead with, and real people looking for it. A search you already appear for, a post that already sends traffic, or an ad group you already run.

If your app is small, make one page and give it time. With little traffic it takes longer to tell whether it helps, so judge one before you make ten.

How you’ll know it worked.

Apple reports each page’s views and downloads, by source and country, once it has had its first few downloads.9

A page’s conversion beside your default page’s is useful context, not proof: each sees a different audience. For a controlled test of your default page, Apple’s product page optimization splits the same traffic at random.10 That is a separate tool.
