Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Do some testing – with Andrew Cock-Starkey
Q: Andrew, what's your number one SEO tip for 2026?
Test, test, test, test a lot and focus on testing what your customers actually use, rather than trying to test everything at once.
Improve retention and conversion through App Store Optimization – with Filipa Serra Gaspar
Q: What KPIs matter most in ASO campaigns?
The primary KPI is installs as the ultimate goal, with conversion rate and retention metrics from A/B tests also critical to measure the long-term impact of ASO efforts.
Improve retention and conversion through App Store Optimization – with Filipa Serra Gaspar
Q: What are common ASO mistakes you see brands making?
Overloading the title with keywords or focusing too much on price promotions in visuals; instead, emphasize the app experience and ensure metadata, visuals, and keywords align with the app's true value and user intent.
Improve retention and conversion through App Store Optimization – with Filipa Serra Gaspar
Q: How do you conduct keyword research for app stores?
Use app store–specific tools like AppTweak to compare keywords, understand competition, and evaluate a range from low to high interest within the app store context, noting differences between Apple and Google ecosystems.
Improve retention and conversion through App Store Optimization – with Filipa Serra Gaspar
Q: Should businesses create an app mainly for the ranking opportunity, or only if it genuinely adds value?
It should be based on business needs; an app should be pursued if it makes sense for the customer journey and the business model, not just to gain another ranking opportunity.
