Illustrative growth trajectory
The Situation
Where things stood before we started
A Shopify extension and companion WordPress plugin had solid product-market fit inside their respective app stores but were invisible in directory search, buried below better-marketed competitors with weaker products. Organic installs had plateaued for two straight quarters while merchant support tickets kept climbing, a sign demand existed but discovery didn't.
The Approach
The SaasBliss solution
Deployed directory search ads, high-intent lead gen funnels, and interactive demo quizzes.
- 1
Rebuilt the app store listing (icon, screenshots, copy) around top-converting keywords
- 2
Launched directory search ads targeting merchants actively browsing competitor apps
- 3
Added an interactive demo quiz to qualify and route installs by merchant use case
The Results

Key takeaway
Directory search behaves like its own search engine with its own ranking signals, winning it required treating the app store listing itself as a landing page to be optimized, not a static profile to be filled in once and forgotten.
