// who this fits

For apps with:

  • One app · one primary market
  • Under 100K MAU or pre-scale revenue
  • First serious ASO push, or first work with a senior operator
  • Founder or growth generalist currently owning ASO on the side
  • Both stores live (or ready to launch on both)
// when to graduate

Signals you've outgrown this tier:

  • Consistent 100K+ MAU across markets
  • Live in three or more localised storefronts
  • Paid UA spend material enough to need channel-level orchestration
  • You've hired a full-time ASO Specialist in-house
// what runs monthly

The scope, without the agency slide-deck theatre.

Strategy
  • Monthly ASO strategy — keyword footprint, category positioning, discovery surface plan
  • Written diagnosis at wave start, written review at wave close
  • Roadmap synced with product and marketing calendars
Keyword & metadata
  • Keyword corpus & difficulty map for the primary market, App Store + Play
  • Metadata rewrites — title, subtitle, keyword field, short/long description
  • Change-log linked to observed rank movement
Conversion & reviews
  • Screenshot narrative + one active A/B test lane at any time
  • Icon and preview-video direction
  • Review response cadence installed, sentiment themes reported monthly
AI Discovery
  • Baseline Share of Recommendation report on a small tracked-prompt panel
  • AI-tag alignment audit against Apple & Play observed pulls
  • Metadata engineered for the recommendation surface

// What this displaces
// vs. hiring in-house

Foundation typically displaces the first senior ASO hire — an App Growth Analyst plus fractional creative and copy support. You get the seniority without the recruitment cycle, ramp period or ESOP dilution.

Full loaded-CTC math, benchmark salaries by market and eight-currency comparison tables live on the role-displacement pages.

// questions worth asking

FAQ.

Can I stay on Foundation forever?+
Yes. Some apps operate on Foundation for years — one market, one team, quietly compounding. We only recommend graduating when you're actually running multi-market or multi-app.
What if I need multi-market?+
Growth is the tier that carries the localisation load. Foundation covers one primary market thoroughly; adding markets means moving up, not paying add-on tax.
Do you cover both stores?+
Yes. Foundation is a two-store subscription by default — App Store and Google Play — with locale-aware metadata for the primary market on each.
How do you charge?+
Monthly, in your local currency. Same list price for every visitor — the currency switcher is a display convenience, not a discount ladder.
// start with a diagnosis

Foundation begins with the free audit.

We audit your listing across the five practices and return a written diagnosis within a week — before any contract is signed.
