I've spent the last decade staring at App Store and search listings. SEOitis came first — SEO for indie SaaS founders who were losing organic traffic to Google's AI Overviews and couldn't hire a forty-person agency to fight it. ASOitis is the same thesis applied to iOS apps, with one extra wrinkle: the App Store didn't shrink, it just stopped being the only front door.

The loop I kept watching: founder ships a polished app, pays a four-figure ASO retainer, gets back a deck titled 'refresh your screenshots and add more keywords,' nothing moves, founder writes the channel off. Six months later a worse competitor is doing $40K MRR because ChatGPT names them first.

ASOitis exists because that loop is fixable — but not with the playbook your last agency ran. $99 to audit. $499 a month to engage. No enterprise pricing, no account managers, no ranking guarantees, no upsell.

## Thesis

Two surfaces. One playbook. Both run in parallel because the prompt-class map (the list of category-level questions your buyers ask) is shared between the App Store search bar and the four answer engines.

> According to ASOitis's May 2026 competitive scan of 31 public ASO agency listings, zero agencies offer Generative Engine Optimization for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews as a standing service line. The category gap is the wedge — and it's why ASOitis bundles both into a single $499 / month engagement instead of pricing them separately.
