Keyword stuffing

Unnaturally repeating keywords in listing text to try to rank.

What is Keyword stuffing?

Keyword stuffing means cramming keywords into your title or description — lists of terms, repeated phrases, keywords that don’t describe the app.

Why it matters for ASO

It reads badly, can hurt conversion and can be penalised by Google Play. It also produces poor AI summaries of your listing.

How to improve it

  1. Write for people first.
  2. Use variations and synonyms instead of repetition.
  3. Remove keyword lists from descriptions.
