Google Play country-specific custom store listings
Write separate Google Play listings for different countries even when the language is the same, because the local reasons to install are often different.
Why this can grow a startup
English-speaking markets often look identical from the CMS and behave differently in the store. Google Play custom store listings let the team change the app name, descriptions, and graphics for selected countries. That gives the listing room to talk about the shows, workflows, pricing context, or product promises that actually matter in each market instead of flattening the whole English-speaking world into one default pitch.
Company example
Google Play's custom store listing help uses the example of a video streaming app showing different features and content to English speakers in the United States and Singapore through separate listings.
