Abstract
A method for determining whether to recommend a target application includes receiving a system identifier indicating a target system. The target system can be a digital distribution platform or an operating system. The method further includes identifying a target application that is unavailable on/for the target system and determining a recommendation score of the target application based on query analytics data corresponding to search queries received by a search engine that identifies applications to indicate in search results in response to received search queries. The method also includes selecting whether to recommend the target application based on the recommendation score, and when the target application is selected for recommendation, recommending the target application to an organization affiliated with the target system based on the recommendation score.
