The company believes that reaching this position within the highly competitive social network category of the App Store recognises the HearMeOut App as the leading voice based social network and highlights the capability of the influencers and content providers on the platform to drive strong engagement and organic growth.
“It is not common for a company of our size to reach such a high ranking, particularly as the competitors have multimillion dollar marketing budgets,” said HearMeOut Co-Founder and CEO Moran Chamsi.
We clearly have a product that users engage with and a large and proactive influencer network, which sees us compete with our much larger competition,” he added.
The Social Network category on the Apple App Store is one of the most competitive categories, with thousands of Apps available for download. Leading social networks in the category include Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, WeChat, Skype , etc.
Either side of the HearMeOut App on the App Store were WeChat and Line, two of the largest social networks globally.
Achieving a ranking inside the Top 50 means that increased App Store visibility is now available to HearMeOut, which can create organic traffic for the app.
Mr Chamsi said that HearMeOut believes the increased ranking for the HearMeOut App has been achieved due to increased influencer activity and the commencement of content generation from dedicated content providers (i.e. media outlets, production companies, etc), who are creating and distributing high quality and unique audio content.
“These factors combined are driving strong organic growth,” Mr Chamsi said.
“With an expansion of the influencer campaign and the addition of high quality content providers HearMeOut believes achieving this App Store ranking will become more common over the coming months.
“We are seeing more and more organisations, from media groups, to sporting teams, to politicians, to influencers, utilising the HearMeOut platform to create and distribute unique and engaging audio content, which is driving growth in the platform” Mr Chamsi added.
