TRANSCRIPT
Google Play now reaches more than 1 billion people on Android
devices in more than 190 countries, helping a growing number of
developers like you build successful global businesses.
In fact, in the past year, we paid more than $7 billion to developers
distributing apps and games on Google Play. We remain as committed
as ever to making Google Play the best place to find great apps, games
and other entertainment.

Outreach
App discovery plays a critical role in driving your continued success,
and over the past year Google has provided best practices to enhance
app discovery and engagement, as well as app promotion tools to get
the most out of search and display advertising for developers.
We are always looking for new ways to help you get your apps in front
of potential new users. That’s why, in the next few weeks, we will
begin piloting sponsored search results on Google Play, bringing our
unique expertise in search ads to the store.

App Discovery
With more than 100 billion searches every month on
Google.com, we’ve seen how search ads shown next
to organic search results on Google.com can
significantly improve content discovery for users and
advertisers, both large and small.
Search ads on Google Play will enable developers to
drive more awareness of their apps and provide
consumers new ways to discover apps that they
otherwise might have missed.

In the coming weeks, a limited set of users will begin
to see ads from a pilot group of advertisers who are
already running Google search ads for their apps.
We’ll have more to share in the coming months
about the expansion of this program as we look at
the results and feedback.
We believe search ads will be a useful addition to
Google Play for users and developers alike, and we
hope this will bring even more success to our
developer community.

The accessibility and convenience of the Google Play web site give you
new ways to drive traffic to your products from many sources, such as
online ads, web search and cross-linking.
Google Play is designed to connect users with great apps and games. It
provides key channels to get your app noticed and gain traction in the
marketplace.
One Site to Rule them All
Prospective users look at ratings and reviews as key benchmarks of app quality. By
rating apps from one to five stars and posting reviews, Android users show their
appreciation for the apps they have downloaded.

User Ratings and Reviews
Your app's rating is one of the most important factors influencing its ranking in the
Google Play lists and search results. It's also one of the key metrics that the editorial
staff looks for when curating apps and games for promotion in the store.

Review your Ratings
When you publish an app in Google Play, you pick the
category where you want users to find your app. More
than 30 categories are available. Inside each category,
apps are ranked based on a combination of ratings,
reviews, downloads, country, and other factors.

Category Browsing
When you publish an app in Google Play, you pick the
category where you want users to find your app. More
than 30 categories are available. Inside each category,
apps are ranked based on a combination of ratings,
reviews, downloads, country, and other factors.

Search
Top charts keep users in touch with what’s popular and trending with Android users,
right from the Apps and Games home pages. The charts stay fresh, updating several
times each day based on recent download activity. As an app's ratings and download
activity grow, it can move up in the charts.
To make the charts as relevant as possible for users across the world, they are also
country-specific in Google Play's most popular countries. As your apps get traction
and build momentum in downloads and ratings, they’ll climb one or more of the top
charts and gain even more exposure.

that lets you promote your app, highlight
its ratings and reviews, and show what

your app. When they see your app listed in search results, top charts,
category listings, and collections, one tap takes them directly to your
store listing.

tablets, and in a web browser.
You can link web users directly to your product details page from
