The SEM Nexus Processes

App Development

Whenever a client comes to us from scratch, the process often begins with app development. We ensure that our apps are built with the best UX/UI in mind, since we handle the marketing too, we understand what users want to see, and how they want the app to feel. In order to complete the app, we go through the following 4 phase process:

Discovery

What is the purpose of the app?
What do people get from it?
Main Competitors?
Who are our target users?
How is it going to get monetized?

App Marketing

The SEM Nexus App Marketing Process uses a combination of ASO, App Store & Play Store ads, social media ads and influencers to acquire users, followed by in-app analytics to retain active and paying users.

App Store Optimization (ASO)

The ASO step in our process starts with rigorous, drilled-down keyword/keyphrase research from which we derive strategic App Store and Play Store app descriptions that are followed by the creation of beautiful, poignant app imagery.

Social Media Influencer Marketing

Instagram and TikTok are both powerful social media influencer platforms, and we utilize our vetted social media influencers, some of whom have millions of followers, to their fullest extent, making sure they post about and link to our clients’ apps in inventive ways.

Ad Marketing

We use strategic Google Adwords, Apple Search Ads, and social media ads specifically placed to achieve a low Cost Per Install (CPI) for our clients while scaling up the campaign.

User Testing

User Testing is a vital step in the SEM Nexus Process – both Acquisition Testing and In-app User Tracking. We constantly A/B test our ad campaigns, which provides for demographic targeting, and we continually track in-app conversions to monitor retention rates to adjust app marketing accordingly.

Venture Capital/VC Preparation

After product market fit has been established, additional funding will likely need to be secured to achieve app virality. To this end, SEM Nexus creates a dynamic pitch deck containing brilliant imagery explaining the vitality of an app and sends that pitch deck to our VC connections.
