// the problem
The cost to acquire a mobile user has never been higher — and it's still climbing. AI tools let anyone vibe-code an app in a weekend, and the stores are flooding with new releases competing for the same eyeballs. CPIs up, ROAS down, every paid dollar buying less than it did six months ago.
Meanwhile, the way people find apps is changing. They don't just search the App Store anymore. They ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini: "what's the best app for [my problem]?" Those models answer based on what they can read on the open web — and most apps don't exist there. No website. No citations. No structured data. Invisible.
Applift makes your app visible everywhere it matters — without you writing a line of code or a word of copy.

// how it works
Paste your App Store or Play Store URL. We pull metadata, screenshots, descriptions, ratings, and reviews automatically.
A fast, semantic, schema-rich website is built and hosted for you. Optimized for traditional SEO (Google, Bing) and AEO (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude). Custom domain or yourapp.applift.to — your call.
Your site enters the Applift citation network: contextual, relevant cross-references between apps in adjacent categories. Every site lifts every other site's authority — no spam, no link farms, no penalties.
// what you get
Your app gets indexed by the engines that matter now. We generate the structured content, semantic HTML, FAQ schema, and llms.txt files that LLM retrievers actually use. When someone asks ChatGPT "what's a good app for X," your app is in the candidate set.
A single app site starts at zero authority. Google ignores it. LLMs never cite it. Applift sites join a curated network where apps get referenced from genuinely relevant contexts. Every new app lifts the rest.
Static-first, edge-cached globally. Your site outranks competitors before content even matters. Google rewards speed. Users do too.
MobileApplication, SoftwareApplication, FAQPage, HowTo, AggregateRating, Organization — all the schema Google and LLMs need to feature your app. Most "app website builders" skip this entirely.
We don't generate filler. We extract genuine information from your store listing, your reviews, and your screenshots — then structure it into pages that answer real user queries. The kind of content Google rewards and LLMs cite.
No Vercel account, no DNS headaches, no certificate management. Bring your own domain or use a free yourapp.applift.to subdomain. SSL, CDN, and uptime monitoring handled.
New version? New screenshots? Better description? Your site updates when your store listing changes. No CMS to log into. No copy to rewrite.
Paid installs cost you again every install. A ranked page earns you traffic for years. Every day your site is live, it accumulates authority, backlinks, and AI citations.

// faq
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of structuring your web content so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini can find, understand, and cite it. Increasingly, users ask AI assistants for app recommendations instead of searching the App Store directly. If your app isn't represented on the open web with proper structure, the AI doesn't know it exists.
No. Link farms get penalized because the links are irrelevant and manipulative. Applift citations are contextual: an app is referenced only when it's genuinely relevant to the surrounding content. This is the same principle Wikipedia uses and the same principle Google rewards.
Yes. Bring your own domain or use a free yourapp.applift.to subdomain. SSL is automatic.
Yes. Applift is the website layer for your already-published app — we pull metadata, screenshots, descriptions, and reviews from your existing store listing.
You can run them in parallel, or point your existing domain at Applift. We're optimized in ways most hand-built sites aren't: full schema coverage, AEO structuring, and contextual network citations.
SEO compounds. Most sites see meaningful indexing within 2–6 weeks and ranking momentum within 3–6 months. AEO citations can begin sooner — LLM retrievers index aggressively from authoritative structured content.
