What app store optimisation actually is

App store optimisation, installs you earn not rent

App store optimisation earns the free installs the store gives to everyone already searching for what you do, instead of buying every install through paid UA that stops the day the budget pauses.

Get found

The keywords, title, and category that put you in front of people already searching the store, instead of paying to interrupt people who are not.

Get the tap

Icon, screenshots, and ratings tuned so the people who find you actually install, lifting conversion on traffic you already have.

Compound it

Rankings and reviews that build on each other, so organic installs grow month over month instead of resetting when you pause spend.

Why paid installs stop the day you pause

Installs that compound, or installs you rent by the tap

Paid user acquisition buys installs now, and they vanish the moment the budget stops. ASO builds a store presence that keeps delivering installs you never pay for again.

What you buildA cost you repay every month.Rankings and reviews that compound.
Which installs are yours?

If your growth stops the day you pause paid UA, you are renting installs, not building an app. We build the organic engine, and run it alongside paid UA so the paid traffic also converts better on a stronger listing.

The India context

Built for Android-first installs and a low-RAM phone

ASO advice written for US iOS apps misses how India discovers and installs apps.

  1. 01of 04
    Android-first, Play StoreWhere India installs

    India installs on Android, and the Play Store rules are not the App Store’s.

    The overwhelming share of Indian installs happen on Google Play, which ranks and indexes differently from the App Store. We optimise for how Play actually ranks here, not a generic iOS playbook.

    Our methodOptimised for Google Play’s ranking, India-first.
  2. 02of 04
    Regional-language listingsHow India searches

    Your installs are searching in Hindi and regional languages, not only English.

    A large share of store searches here are vernacular. We localise the listing, keywords, and screenshots into the languages your users search, opening installs an English-only listing never reaches.

    Our methodLocalised listings and keywords for regional search.
  3. 03of 04
    The low-RAM installWhy size and proof matter

    On a budget Android phone, app size and ratings decide the install.

    Storage and data are tight on the phones most of India uses, so size, ratings, and the first screenshots carry more weight. We optimise what convinces a cautious installer to tap, and a lighter build where it helps.

    Our methodConversion tuned for budget Android: size and proof.
  4. 04of 04
    Ratings are the moatTrust before the tap

    An Indian installer reads the rating and the recent reviews first.

    Ratings and review velocity move both ranking and conversion here. We build the prompts and the review-response process that lift the rating and keep it there, instead of letting a few angry reviews sink the install rate.

    Our methodRating and review velocity actively managed.

Our commitment

Our commitment, in writing

ASO is easy to fake by taking credit for installs that paid UA actually bought. We do the opposite.

  • You see organic vs paid

    Organic and paid installs shown separately, so you know exactly what the store delivered for free.

  • The listing is yours

    Your store listings, keywords, and creative stay in your name, with full access. Leave us and they stay with you.

  • Measured to organic installs

    The installs the store delivered net of paid, reported monthly, not a blended number that hides the truth.

  • A named lead

    One person owns your ASO, accountable for organic installs and rankings, not a rotating ticket queue.

If an install came from paid, we will not count it as organic.
