Store Listing Experiment Brief Template
Write a testable store-listing hypothesis with a defined control, one creative change and a predeclared review decision.
When to use this template
Use this before configuring a platform-supported experiment when you have enough relevant traffic to evaluate a specific presentation question.
Choose another approach when: You plan to change unrelated elements together and attribute the result to one of them, or need a guaranteed winner before the test runs.
Gather these inputs
- The current live listing and the single question under test.
- A control and truthful alternative creative.
- The platform’s current setup options, reporting and statistical guidance.

Worked example
Illustrative example, not a Crany customer result. Replace every example detail with facts you can verify.
Question: does the opening screenshot explain the shared-list task clearly? Control: a dashboard screenshot with the caption “Organize your day.” Treatment: the same released app showing a shared shopping list with the caption “Keep tonight’s shopping in one list.” The remaining screenshot sequence stays stable. Record any release or acquisition campaign that changes during the experiment. Use the store platform’s experiment reporting to interpret results. A small early difference is not automatically a winner, and an inconclusive result does not justify inventing a conversion uplift.
How to use it
- Write the hypothesis and what remains stable before uploading the treatment.
- Use the platform’s supported experiment setup and review current guidance.
- Retain the full result, including uncertainty and confounding changes, before applying a winner.
Check before using it
- Both versions accurately represent the app.
- The treatment changes the intended variable rather than redesigning everything.
- The team is willing to report the result as inconclusive.
What to measure
Use the outcome and uncertainty reported by the store experiment, with the configured audience and observation period. Document the practical decision separately from the statistical evidence.
