App Marketing Context

When the user wants to design or optimize the funnel that takes web visitors into installing and onboarding the app — including smart app banners, web-to-app deep links, deferred deep links, web onboarding (Stripe-paid web flow before app install), QR codes, "open in app" CTAs, and the trade-off between paying on web vs in-app. Use when the user mentions "web to app", "smart app banner", "Stripe before app", "web paywall before install", "Branch web SDK", "web funnel for app", "AppsFlyer OneLink web", "Universal Links", "App Links", "QR code to app", "open in app", "deferred deep link from web", or "should I sell on web first then push to app". For pure in-app onboarding, see onboarding-optimization. For deep link infra, see attribution-setup.

When the user wants to reduce churn, improve user engagement, or increase lifetime value. Also use when the user mentions "retention", "churn", "users leaving", "engagement", "DAU/MAU", "user activation", or "why are users uninstalling". For onboarding-specific issues, see app-launch. For monetization, see monetization-strategy.

When the user wants to monitor competitor apps on an ongoing basis — tracking metadata changes, keyword shifts, screenshot updates, rating trends, or new features. Use when the user mentions "competitor monitoring", "track competitors", "competitor alert", "competitor changed their title", "watch a competitor app", "competitor weekly report", "competitive intelligence", or "what changed in competitor's listing". For a one-time deep competitive analysis, see competitor-analysis. For market-wide chart movements, see market-movers.

Single entry point that routes any ASO, App Store, Google Play, app marketing, paid UA, monetization, retention, reviews, ratings, market-intel, or app-analytics question to the correct specialist skill in this library. Use FIRST whenever the user mentions an app, App Store, Play Store, keywords, ranking, downloads, revenue, subscriptions, screenshots, icon, reviews, competitors, charts, in-app events, launch, press, or ads — but the right specialized skill is not obvious. Triggers: "/aso-skill", "/aso", "aso help", "help me with my app", "I need ASO", "which skill should I use", or any ambiguous app-marketing request. Skip this router only when the user explicitly invokes a specific skill (e.g. /aso-audit, /keyword-research).

When the user wants to create, plan, or optimize App Store In-App Events — the event cards that appear on the Today tab, search results, and your product page. Use when the user mentions "in-app event", "App Store event", "event card", "Today tab", "live event", "challenge", "game event", "seasonal event card", or wants visibility beyond organic search. For general ASO, see aso-audit. For seasonal keyword strategy, see seasonal-aso.

When the user wants to optimize their App Store listing for seasonal events, holidays, or trending moments — including keyword opportunities, metadata updates, screenshot theming, and timing strategy. Use when the user mentions "seasonal", "holiday", "Christmas", "New Year", "Valentine's Day", "summer", "back to school", "seasonal keywords", "trending now", "limited time", or wants to capitalize on a calendar event. For general keyword research, see keyword-research. For full metadata rewrites, see metadata-optimization.
