Every app I ship is engineered to rank before it’s engineered to impress. That’s the moat: you can buy an app with real ASO and be at ~1,300 users in 3 weeks, like @BohdanHolland did here. ASO + one solid update = real traction. I’ve got a few more apps in the portfolio with a strong ASO foundation. DMs open if you’re serious about growing on the App Store.

@aiob_me No, for first submission, but after the rejection i make a video

@kedytcom I mean for apple review team, first time I get asked to record video on physical device

I just submitted a new iOS app. But I did not start with the idea. I started with App Store search data. Found a niche with low competition. Then found ~15 markets where I think the app can rank faster after localization. Now it’s waiting for review. This is my launch plan: US first. Then localize into the easiest markets. Then track rankings. Then double down where the data moves. Most indie devs ask: “What app should I build?” Better question: “What search demand is underserved right now?” If you want, reply with your app niche and I’ll tell you one market I’d check first.

@aiob_me Whenever I see potential in an app, I make a demo video.

@kedytcom Do you also submit a video recording with first review ?

@vanshbuilds wrong you should add keywords to your localization than bid for it to rank for that kw

@kedytcom so, I am in a dilemma. the app launched today. now on playstore side, i always rely on google ads to boost aso and rankings. now i have not localized the app, ss, metadata's in v1. Would you recommend running ads first? or completing the localization first and then ads?

One of my clients got these App Store keyword rankings in just 1 week. Results: #1 in the US #8 in the UK #15 in Germany #17 in Spain Multiple top 20 rankings across US, UK, Germany, and Spain No magic. Just: - better keyword targeting - no metadata repetition - localized subtitle + keyword fields - markets selected by difficulty - ASO before guessing Most indie apps do not need more features first. They need to be found.

@vanshbuilds no Ads just organic

@kedytcom Did they boost these specific keywords through apple search ads Or The optimized store listing alone boost these rankings without any paid ads?

Tool used for finding low-competition App Store opportunities: Astro MCP. I use it to compare popularity vs difficulty across markets before choosing keywords and localizations. tryastro.app/?aff=WRMObB

@iyas_dev no bro ;)

@kedytcom so it's better to not add phrases

Most indie devs waste their App Store metadata. Apple treats your: Title Subtitle Keyword field as ONE keyword pool. So if you repeat the same word 3 times, you are not helping ASO. You are wasting space. Here are the non-negotiable indexing rules:

@iyas_dev habit,tracker, ...

@kedytcom for keywords is it better to add eg : habit tracker, ... or habit,tracker, ...

Most indie apps do not need more metadata. They need cleaner metadata. No repeats. No trademark risk. No keyword-stuffed subtitle. No wasted characters. No lazy localization. Small details compound when you launch across multiple markets.

Simple rule: Title = strongest primary keyword + brand Subtitle = benefit phrase with secondary keyword Keyword field = remaining relevant terms, no repeats ASO is not about stuffing words. It is about using every character with intent.
