Since the first day we started working together, Kriko has supported us in making significant progress in a short time through the benefits it has provided to our website and digital channels. Therefore, it would be a big mistake to evaluate Kriko only under the title of an SEO company. For us, Kriko is a companion to our website, a consultant in every area we need, and a digital brand assistant that will always be needed for support in the world of search engines.

The team’s strong synergy, its commitment to maintaining its SEO focus, and its support as an always-accessible consultant for developments in the digital world were influential in our decision to choose Kriko.

The team’s strong synergy, its commitment to maintaining its SEO focus, and its support as an always-accessible consultant for developments in the digital world were influential in our decision to choose Kriko.

We met Mr. Ugur during a training he delivered and later had the opportunity to work together. The reasons we chose Kriko include the synergy Mr. Ugur reflects to you, their decision to stay within their own area of expertise, SEO, rather than focusing on every branch of digital, and the fact that although he positions himself as an SEO expert, he is always like a consultant just a phone call away, someone you can ask for ideas on developments in the digital world. We hope they continue with this professional perspective and amateur spirit, and that we continue to be their companions on this journey.

Kriko accurately analyzed our brand and challenging industry dynamics, providing a comprehensive and actionable roadmap based on the right methodologies rather than generic recommendations.

From our very first meeting with Kriko, what they added to us was “applying a versatile and comprehensive roadmap with the right methodologies, instead of a word salad made up of commonly repeated generic information.” Their accurate analyses of our brand, which is positioned in a challenging vertical and has customer behaviors that are somewhat different from what is generally known, and of its dynamics, once again proved that we were not wrong in this view.

Metin Okur Sefamerve - CEO
Since the first day we started working with Kriko, we have had complete confidence in their SEO decisions, quickly implementing even the most critical business requirements and achieving positive results every time.

Just as it can be frustrating to constantly question your doctor’s decisions while keeping in mind the possibility that they might make a mistake, it is equally frustrating to have to constantly review the decisions of the SEO consultant you work with. Since the first day I started working with Kriko, I have not had the slightest doubt about their decisions. It brings an incredible sense of peace of mind and focused calm. We implement even the most radical business requirements without delay, and each time we achieve positive results.

Kriko’s ability to quickly adapt to the SHERPA Blog team’s product management methodology, and its know-how in producing search engine-friendly content rather than relying solely on the power of mainstream SEO toolsets, played an important role in SHERPA Blog’s decision-making process. Seeing data-driven decision-making discipline as a core element of its management philosophy, SHERPA Blog achieved visible progress in SERP results through its still short-term collaboration with Kriko, led by Uğur Eskici.

Frequently Asked Questions

Apple Ads

Users searching for apps on the App Store visit the platform to find solutions and evaluate download options. Apple Ads supports campaign creation and management – using specific budgets, ad groups, and targeted keywords – while helping iOS apps connect with these users and increase visibility in the store. At Kriko, we provide comprehensive support to brands through our Apple Ads services, covering everything from the in-store experience to user acquisition strategies.

What Are Apple Ads and How Do They Work?

Formerly known as Apple Search Ads, this advertising framework lets you leverage search intent in app marketing. A user's search – whether based on a category, feature, brand, or a specific need – reveals the type of app they are looking for. Consequently, campaign planning involves more than just keyword selection; it also encompasses App Store placements, targeting, ASO alignment, and performance data. Searches related to brands, categories, competitors, features, or generic terms are addressed with distinct objectives, with keywords evaluated based on search volume, competition, cost, and the quality of users acquired post-download. Our ultimate goal with Kriko's Apple Ads services is to boost your app's visibility and maximize download potential.

What Are the Key Considerations for Apple Ads?

During the App Store advertising process, the app's in-store experience is also evaluated. Elements such as the icon, screenshots, descriptions, ratings, and reviews can all influence a user's decision to download. Aligning your advertising campaigns with App Store Optimization helps convert the interest you've generated into actual downloads. We position Apple Ads alongside other user acquisition efforts, such as ASO, Google App Campaigns, Meta, and TikTok. The table below outlines the primary benefits of integrating ASO initiatives with Apple Ads services.
