Mobile game store listing A/B tests: what to test

Changing several variables at once might win, but you'll never know exactly what caused it. How to run store listing A/B tests the right way.

Mobile game store listing A/B tests: what to test
In this article⌄
  1. 01Prioritize high-impact variables
  2. 02Read results correctly

Mobile game store listing experiments answer specific questions: which fantasy, screenshot or promise improves conversion. Change one primary variable at a time, changing several at once might produce a better result, but the team will never know exactly what caused it, and can't repeat it deliberately next time.

A/B testing workflow for icons and screenshot assets on Google Play & App Store
Testing one variable at a time ensures clear attribution for conversion rate lifts.

Prioritize high-impact variables

  • Icon and the first video frame, the first thing a user sees before deciding to scroll past or stop
  • First screenshot and its headline, since most users never scroll through the entire screenshot set
  • A short message describing differentiation from competing games in the same search results

Read results correctly

Wait for sufficient data, segment by country and source, then check post-install activation. Higher conversion with early churn is not a win, a winning variant sometimes just overpromises and disappoints players right after opening the game, and that loss never shows up in an A/B test report that only measures through install.
