What Makes a Store Page Convert: Screenshots, Copy and Icon Testing
A store page is the highest-leverage, lowest-cost thing most studios under-invest in relative to how much it moves install-to-play conversion.
Why this matters now
Icon and first-screenshot testing alone typically moves conversion more than any copy change — players decide in under two seconds, before they read a word.
What we're actually seeing
Studios that treat this as a one-time fix rather than an ongoing practice tend to see the gains fade within a quarter — the teams getting lasting results build it into their regular process.
Our recommendation
Run icon and screenshot A/B tests before you touch your description copy — the visual-first decisions carry more weight than most teams assume.

This is exactly the kind of breakdown I needed — saved for the next sprint planning.

Curious how this holds up on lower-end mobile hardware?
