Does ASO actually work or is it snake oil?

ASO absolutely works when done properly. The app stores are search engines - around 70% of app discoveries happen through search. Optimising your title, keywords, screenshots, and description can significantly increase visibility and downloads. We focus on data-driven approaches, not magic tricks.

How competitive is ASO?

Competition varies by category. Gaming and social apps are extremely competitive, while B2B and niche apps often have more opportunity. We analyse your specific market to identify realistic keyword targets and growth opportunities.

What ROI can I expect from ASO?

ROI depends on your app's monetisation model and current baseline. Well-executed ASO typically increases organic downloads by 20-50%, which compounds over time. For apps with strong monetisation, even small increases in visibility can deliver significant returns.

How long does it take to see ASO results?

You'll typically see initial movement within 2-4 weeks of implementing changes. Full results take 2-3 months as the algorithms respond and you iterate based on data. ASO is an ongoing process, not a one-time fix.

What's included in an ASO review?

We analyse your current store listing, keyword rankings, competitor positioning, screenshot conversion and review sentiment. You receive a prioritised action plan with specific recommendations for improving visibility and conversion.

How do we get started with ASO?

Book a consultation and share your app store links. We'll do an initial assessment to identify obvious opportunities, then propose a review scope. Most clients start with a comprehensive ASO audit, then we can help implement recommendations or hand off to your team.
