GROWTH & MONETIZATION — APP STORE POSITIONING

CASE STUDY

Savvi — Aligning acquisition intent with App Store positioning

How a misalignment between campaigns and the App Store was slowing growth.

UA × Product Alignment

Savvi is an AI app combining a conversational chatbot with image generation tools. While reviewing performance across our app portfolio, I noticed something unusual:

Savvi had one of the highest CTRs in paid campaigns — but one of the lowest conversion-to-install rates.

Traffic wasn’t the problem. Conversion was.

I led the investigation and redesign of the App Store narrative to resolve the disconnect.

BEFORE

Conversion to Install

28.85%

AFTER

Conversion to Install

37.10%

The issue wasn’t the product, It was positioning.

Instead of redesigning features, we restructured how the product was introduced in the store:

01

Prioritized image generation in the first screenshots

02

Showed outputs before interfaces

03

Matched visual language to acquisition creatives

04

Repositioned the chatbot as a complementary feature

The goal was simple: Reduce expectation friction.

Redesign focused on clarity and intent alignment.

Before

Old Savvi App Store screenshots featuring the chatbot interface

Old screenshots

Chat interface as hero

Feature explanation first

Low visual impact

After

New Savvi App Store screenshots leading with image generation results

New screenshots

Image results as the first visual

Clear use cases

Strong visual hierarchy

Messaging aligned with campaign themes

We didn’t change the product, we changed what users saw first.

Impact

+29%

Increase in CTI

-29.7%

Decrease in CPI

Making the value clear

After launching the new screenshot set:

Conversion-to-install increased significantly

Cost per install improved

Campaign efficiency increased without changing creatives

We didn’t optimize acquisition, we optimized coherence across the funnel.
