Title Optimization

Your title is the first thing buyers see

Optimal Length
30-50 characters (4-7 words)

Best Practices:

  • Lead with asset type + theme (e.g., “Stylized Dungeon Props”).
  • Add scale or count if impressive (e.g., “300+ Models”).
  • Include pipeline or style keywords (Low Poly, PBR, URP/HDRP) only if relevant.
  • Avoid filler words and all‑caps; keep it scannable.
Good Examples
  • Ultimate Antique Workbench and Tools Pack Collection - BananaMonkey
  • Low Poly Workshop Tools Pack 3D Props
  • Deadly Dungeons: Modern Traps
  • Fantasy Tools Pack by Rutz
  • LowPoly - Free Tools Pack
Bad Examples
  • Office Knife
  • Wrench
  • Survival Flashlight

Description Optimization

Detailed, structured content converts browsers to buyers

Optimal Length
120-200 words (3-5 short paragraphs)

Recommended Structure:

  1. 1Lead: one‑sentence value proposition for the target genre or use case.
  2. 2What's inside: counts, variants, formats, LODs, textures, and poly ranges.
  3. 3Compatibility: pipelines (URP/HDRP/Built‑in), render scale, and platforms.
  4. 4Use cases: concrete scenarios (RPG interiors, survival crafting, racing).
  5. 5Support & updates: versioning, roadmap, and links to docs or demos.

Writing Tips:

  • Front‑load keywords buyers search for; keep sentences short.
  • Break up text with bullets; avoid walls of text.
  • Name the pipelines you tested and Unity versions.
  • Invite feedback and list future additions if you plan updates.

Example Description Template:

Build faster with a focused pack of game‑ready assets. You'll get modular pieces, clean UVs, and optimized LODs designed for smooth performance. Textures are PBR and compatible with URP/HDRP. Perfect for Tools projects like racing, sim, and open‑world—drop in and go.

Image & Screenshot Guidelines

Visual quality directly impacts conversion rates

Optimal Count
4-10 images

Requirements:

  • Cover image with clean composition and readable title overlay.
  • At least one in‑engine screenshot at gameplay camera angle.
  • Close‑ups showing material quality and texel density.
  • Optional: short video or GIF showcasing variations or interactivity.

Pro Tips:

  • Use neutral lighting and consistent backgrounds across shots.
  • Add a slide with included contents or a collage of key items.
  • Show scale with a human/vehicle reference if relevant.

Tags & Keywords Strategy

Maximize discoverability through search

Tags
8-12 relevant tags

Common Tags for Tools:

ToolPropsPBRlowpolyToolssurvivalhammeraxeLow Poly3DToolsProps

Tagging Tips:

  • Mix type, style, genre, and pipeline tags for broader reach.
  • Avoid duplicates or overly generic tags that add no signal.
  • Keep tags consistent with screenshots and description.

Keyword Strategy Tips
  • Repeat 2-3 primary keywords naturally in the first 2-3 sentences.
  • Use secondary keywords as variations in bullets and image alt text.

Pricing Strategy

Balance value perception with competitive positioning

Recommended Price Range
Most assets fall around $7.00; healthy range $4.99-$11.20
  • Anchor near the category's common price band; justify higher tiers with scope (count, variants, modularity).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Learn from others' errors and optimize from the start

Missing or very short description

Impact:

Buyers can't evaluate fit, which lowers conversions and search ranking.

Solution:

Write 3-5 short paragraphs: what's inside, key features, compatibility (URP/HDRP/Built‑in), and use cases.

Too few preview images

Impact:

Shoppers can't judge quality or scope at a glance.

Solution:

Upload a clean cover plus gallery shots: overview, close-ups, wireframe/UVs (if relevant), variants, and one in‑engine screenshot.

No or weak tagging

Impact:

Reduced discoverability in search and browse filters.

Solution:

Use 8-12 relevant tags mixing type (Props, Tools), style (Low Poly, Realistic), genre (RPG, Sci‑Fi), and pipeline (PBR, URP, HDRP).

Stale or unmaintained listing

Impact:

Signals risk to buyers and hurts search placement.

Solution:

Refresh the page with a small update: new screenshots, supported versions, and a short changelog entry.

Misaligned pricing

Impact:

Overpriced items stall; free items without a roadmap fail to convert to paid.

Solution:

Anchor near category norms and justify value with scope, modularity, and support. Use launch discounts or tiered editions.

Vague titles

Impact:

Hard to compare against similar packs; lower click‑through.

Solution:

Combine type, theme, and scale (e.g., “RPG Mining Props - 120+ PBR Assets, URP/HDRP”).
