// 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.

// questions worth asking

FAQ.

What's the CPP volume we should expect at this tier?+
15–30 Custom Product Pages live at any time, each mapped to a specific intent cluster and paid channel. Continuously briefed and shipped as paid campaigns evolve.
Do you take on multi-country programs?+
Yes. Multi-locale is included as strategy for up to 5 locales; incremental locale-specific execution is priced à la carte.
Who runs my account?+
A senior operator with 8+ years in app growth at scale. You meet them on the diagnostic call before signing — not a swap-out later.
Can I pause?+
Yes — 30-day notice. Most accounts don't pause at this scale because paid UA + CPP matrix is generating measurable ROAS lift by month 4–6.
How does this integrate with our in-house team?+
We sit above your existing team on strategy and beside them on execution. If you already have an ASO Manager and UA Manager, we act as the Head-of-App-Growth layer they report into strategically.
