GoodBarber and WMaker services were disrupted on the 28th of November due to an electrical incident. This incident occurred on the general power supply of a rack located in one of the datacenters that hosts part of our technical infrastructure.

It has now been more than 24 hours since the services have been working perfectly and normally. It is now the time for explanations, assessments and lessons learned, which we share with you in this note.

What is SEO? SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results. Simply put, it’s increasing the likelihood to drive more unpaid traffic from search engines, which results in attracting visitors who are genuinely interested in the products your offer
Having good or favorable SEO means that your Progressive Web App comes up as one of the first results returned by the search engines when someone types the keywords you're aiming to be positioned around. 
How does it work? When search engines turn up results, they are based on 2 elements :
- Indexing
- Algorithms 

To make up their index, search engines use indexation robots. These robots (bots) browse the web and collect information about the websites visited (content, links, activity, etc.). 
Information saved in the index is then used by algorithms. For each request, they calculate and return the list of the most pertinent sites. There are many settings taken into account in judging the level of pertinence. Certain ones are of a technical nature, others are editorial, and some are related to various links that link sites together. 

When optimizing SEO for your Progressive Web App, there are 3 aspects to consider : technical, editorial and link building

When you shop, it's from your smartphone. For those born with the Internet, this is the norm. For others, it's amazing.. except when the user experience is not up to par. 

We have all had disappointing shopping experiences on our mobile phones: the need to login again, poor display, long and tedious checkout process, a lot of data to enter on a small keyboard, etc. When the user experience is so discouraging, we give up and head for a merchant who allows us to shop easily.  

GoodBarber Shopping App was born from our desire to equip all e-merchants with the technology that makes mobile shopping fun and powerful. 

With your app published on the Store (App Store and the Play Store), you are one step closer to your goal. However, it’s not the time to stop working. You must now focus on promoting your app to boost your audience. 

In order for your app to be successful, you need to think of all the details from the day you start creating it (or updating it).

In this article we will go over the best practices to increase your downloads.

Today the mobile app market is expanding rapidly as our society relies increasingly on smartphones and digital technology. 

According to Statista in 2017, 178 millions apps were downloaded, and this number is set to reach 258 billions by 2022. There’s clearly a high demand for apps, which renders the mobile market highly competitive.

But it’s not easy to create an app. It takes time, expertise and is usually expensive. Often people make the mistake of diving straight in instead of taking the time to analyse their ideas and understand the different steps necessary to build a successful app.
