Q: What are the current ways to promote mini programs? What are the mainstream ways to promote WeChat mini programs? A: 1. Use WeChat search portal to grab ranking by mini program name (free) The ranking of a mini program is related to its name, description, online time, user visits and overall quality, and the name of a mini program is unique. According to the users’ search habits and product features, register as many mini program names as possible to make the mini program rank higher and be more likely to be searched by users. What we need to do is: optimize the keywords in the mini program description. WeChat search supports fuzzy matching of keywords, so custom keywords will also affect the ranking of mini programs. In the "Promotion" module in the mini program background, you can configure up to 10 keywords. When setting keywords, you can refer to Baidu’s delivery techniques while combining them with the specific usage scenarios of WeChat. If you lack big data to assist in analyzing and selecting precise keywords, you might as well try to collect big data yourself. That is, create more mini-programs (each corporate entity can apply for 50 mini-programs) to dominate the screen, use all the keywords that can be thought of at present, and use the actual online effects to build your own keyword big data. 2. Nearby Mini Programs (Free) In "Nearby Mini Programs", the Mini Program is automatically displayed to WeChat users within 5km. All eligible Mini Programs can be exposed for free in "Nearby Mini Programs", and one Mini Program can add 10 geographic locations.
