Is it possible to improve the application search result?

[Stone Will Fall]

I want improve finding my game in Play Store. When I type name of my application it is 10th in the order and they are only 13 app in result(none of them have similar name).
I understand that the application is very short in store and it's unpopular, but other found games have complety different names.
Can I improve result somehow or the only solution is to popularize application?

This is a not an easy topic. The Google Play search algorithm it's not clear, but it depends on multiple variables... and one of the most important is the number of downloads. Also positive reviews and linking the google play link from other pages, app description, etc, but in my modest experience... app downloads is the most important thing

Just as I feared :/
The application must be popular to become popular

Your search position is based on many factors, the main ones are:
* App title
* Ratings
* Installs
* Keywords in your description

You may be able to ride on the back of popular searches such as "addicting game" or "fun game" etc..by including these words / phrases in your description or even title.

I've also read that having links directly to your Google Play store listing from other web sites can help improve ranking.

You can use some websites like appbrain optimizer to discover your keywords ranking and try to improve them

I am hearing lots of same things everyday including youtube. While i discovering ASO, what i heard from a perdon which make me to start thinking. He said that Google algorithm is give much priority to their own service that other and so using Google plus, G+ like button is more valuable then any other option. what most of us is ignoring Google plus, Google brand page and the G+ like button. lots of things he talk about the the value of these so i advice you guys to do that and see the changes.

It's called ASO (app store optimization) or SEO (search engine optimization). The main idea behind these terms is to improve ranking of the keyword in your app's title/description (maybe even the app's package name), the number of reviews and the text of those reviews (also keywords and their frequency), the number of installs, etc.
