Play custom store listing: one F2P hook per audience

Google Play custom store listings let you tailor name, icon, descriptions and graphics for segments (country, pre-registration, ads traffic, search keywords, buyer state, etc.). You can create up to 50 CSLs. Contact details, privacy policy and category are shared. Unique URL parameter form: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=[packageName]&listing=[parameter].

Operator checklist

1. One primary F2P hook per CSL (mode, event or offer) — avoid dumping the whole meta.
2. Audience segment explicitly chosen; country exclusivity respected (one country → one CSL).
3. Ad → listing continuity: Ads-traffic CSLs should reuse the same hook as the ad.
4. Translations: CSLs are not auto-translated; add languages for targeted countries.
5. Default vs custom: Confirm who still sees the default listing.
6. QA: Open the listing= URL on device before spend.
7. Measurement: Tag networks with the matching listing parameter.
