Our app is about finance managing, the problem we’re having is that: we have done a lot ASO works, but the ranking and downloads are very low. It took almost 6 months, but the result is just poor.
Is there any way to increase the app downloads in Apple App Store, while we don’t do ASO?
ASO is organic traffic, therefor without ASO you need to try some type of paid traffic system or via Social media or a viral type of campaign. First of all, ASO is necessary, and I think it’s not that difficult to carry out.
Anyhow, as you asked, following ways may useful:
1.Social mentions. Share your app to social platforms, specially the ones that your users are staying.
2.Forums and blogs. Find the high relative communities in your category, and make great content around your app.
3.Referral programs. Give your current users a chance to refer your app to more people, if they can get some solid benefits.
4.Third-part services. offer-wall, ratings and review service (may illegal), Top Chart Boost services, Search Trending ranking services, etc.
5.Ads platforms. Google ads, Facebook ads, Apple search ads, many ads platforms offer this services. You can leverage them per your budget.
6.ASO Boost Services. Company like ASMBee offers special ASO services called ASO Boost, which will list your app in the top of any Top Chart, as well as give your app a higher ranking in the search results: http://site.asmbee.com/appstore-top-chart-boost-service/
If you can design some great viral content, wow, all the above will be too
