// how compounding works

App store rankings compound. They do not spike overnight.

Anyone telling you otherwise is either running an install farm (which bans your app), or gambling with your ad spend. Here is the actual timeline.

MONTH 1
Keyword footprint mapped, metadata rewritten and shipped. Screenshot A/B tests queued. Share of Recommendation baseline captured. No visible install lift yet — stores are re-indexing your listing.
MONTH 2–3
First keyword rankings move on lower-competition long-tail terms. Screenshot tests start reporting winners. Assistant recommendations begin surfacing your app on niche queries.
MONTH 4–5
Movement on mid-competition category terms. Measurable organic install lift versus month one. Share of Recommendation rising on 2–3 engines.
MONTH 6–8
Business impact — CAC blended down as organic install share grows, conversion rate lift from tested screenshots, review velocity improving.
MONTH 9+
Compounding. Category ranking stabilizes. Paid UA efficiency improves because organic footprint reduces paid dependency. New geos ship faster because the model is proven.

Pause-and-scale-anytime exists because we're confident in this curve. If you pause in month 3, you paused two months before category rankings begin to move. When you restart, we re-audit your store for free — but the compounding clock resets. That trade-off is yours.

FAQ.

How is this different from the Head of App Growth tier?+
Head of App Growth is a senior operator running strategy. Director, Mobile Growth is that senior operator plus a pod (ASO strategist, UA operator, creative director, content strategist) and a governance layer for how mobile growth gets discussed in your leadership meetings and to your board.
Do you replace our in-house team?+
No — we integrate with it. We augment leadership capacity and codify the operating cadence, we don't displace the people who already carry your P&L.
How is scope defined?+
On a diagnostic call. The starting figure covers the operator + pod baseline; add-on capacity (extra locales, additional apps, extended pod) is scoped in a proposal.
Do you handle M&A diligence?+
Yes. App-heavy acquisitions get a full store, keyword, retention, and unit-economics teardown before you close.
Who signs off on strategy?+
You do. We present the recommendation and the trade-offs in your leadership meeting. Nothing ships without your call.
