Founder-run, productized, $99 one-time audit or $499 / month engagement. ## Your app is invisible in the places that now matter. Half of iOS app discovery in 2026 no longer starts inside the App Store. Buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or Google AI Overviews 'what's the best app for X?' and accept the three names the engine returns. **If your app isn't in the answer, it isn't in the running.** ASOitis is the bridge between the App Store you know and the engines that quietly replaced it. One small team, one playbook, both surfaces. ## The five surfaces ASOitis optimizes for | Code | Surface | Owner | Role | |------|---------|-------|------| | S01 | Apple App Store | Apple | The classic front door. Still where the install happens. | | S02 | ChatGPT | OpenAI | Where buyers ask first. Three apps get named, the rest don't. | | S03 | Perplexity | Perplexity | Where buyers fact-check. Cited, sourced, decision-grade. | | S04 | Claude | Anthropic | The default for work and code. Quiet, persistent intent. | | S05 | Google AI Overviews | Google | The answer box that replaced the blue links above your listing. | Every engagement ships against all five. No à la carte, no upsell. ## Services - **App Store ASO** — Higher impressions, sharper tap-through, defensible keyword footprint. - **Generative Engine Optimization** — Your app becomes the named recommendation for high-intent prompts. - **Listing CRO** — Same traffic, more installs. Usually pays for the engagement in week six. - **Localization** — Revenue from markets you weren't seriously competing in last quarter. ## Pricing | Plan | Price | Cadence | What you get | |------|-------|---------|--------------| | The Audit | $99 | One-time | Listing teardown · LLM visibility sweep across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews · keyword map · 30-day execution plan · 30-min call · written report | | The Engagement | $499 | / month (2-month minimum) | 3 audits / month · weekly metadata + screenshot iterations shipped for you · shared Slack with the founder · live dashboard for impressions, ranks, LLM citations | Book the audit: https://checkout.dodopayments.com/buy/pdt_0NejYshqoh2VaXbk3wjzq?quantity=1&redirect_url=https://asoitis.com%2Fcheckout%2Fsuccess Reserve an engagement slot: https://checkout.dodopayments.com/buy/pdt_0NejZVmuiZO2HCrTpK14D?quantity=1&redirect_url=https://asoitis.com%2Fcheckout%2Fsuccess ## Process 1. **Brief.** Thirty-minute kickoff. We read your code, your reviews, your nearest competitors, and the last twelve weeks of App Connect data. 2. **Teardown.** A named-and-numbered list of what's costing you installs across the App Store and the LLM engines. Lift, effort, recommended sequence. 3. **Build.** We ship the highest-leverage moves first: metadata, creatives, A/B tests, structured data, source seeding, locale launches. 4. **Compound.** Biweekly tests, quarterly reviews, and a kill-switch for anything that stops earning. ASO and GEO both reward patience. ## Field study — HabitKit Sebastian Roehl's HabitKit (Productivity / iOS · ~$40K MRR · 500K+ Play Store downloads · top-five rank for 'habit tracker' in DE/UK). Title-first keyword strategy ('Habit Tracker — HabitKit'), subtitle stacking ('Streaks & Accountability'), single-keyword conviction, algorithm patience, and earned-media as accidental GEO.

AI-engine citations: six to twelve weeks. ASO and GEO both compound — anyone selling 'overnight' results should not be running your discovery. ### We haven't launched yet. Is it too early? It is the best time. We can build your launch metadata, screenshot architecture, prompt-class map, and a first wave of LLM-readable sources before TestFlight closes — apps that ship with this groundwork compound faster than apps that retrofit it. ### Why is ASOitis cheaper than the big ASO shops? ASOitis is productized for indie iOS founders and works with a small cohort at a time. The big shops bill four-to-five figures because they staff for enterprise accounts you don't have. We don't, so we don't have to. That's the entire pricing argument. ### Do you guarantee a ranking? No, and anyone who does is misleading you. What ASOitis guarantees is execution: every deliverable on time, every week. If we miss a delivery, that week is on us. ### What are the cancellation terms on the engagement? Two-month minimum, then month-to-month with thirty days' notice. No auto-renew. If we are not earning our keep, we want you to leave. ### Do you work with Android apps? No. iOS is where our depth is, and we will not run a discipline we cannot do better than the next person. ASOitis does not optimize Google Play listings. ### Do you manage Apple Search Ads or paid acquisition? No. ASOitis is organic ASO + GEO only. No Apple Search Ads, no Meta ads, no TikTok ads. If you need paid acquisition, hire a specialist for that — they exist, they're good at it, that's not what we do. ### What's the difference between ASO and GEO? ASO (App Store Optimization) makes your app rank inside Apple App Store search. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) makes your app get named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or Google AI Overviews 'what's the best app for X?'. Both drive installs, both compound, and ASOitis runs them together on every engagement. ## Stats attribution Figures cited on the homepage (63% of iOS app discovery starting outside the App Store; 1 in 4 purchase-intent queries answered by an LLM first; 0 ASO agencies optimising for the engines that answer them) are aggregated from public industry reports (Previsible 2025, Onely Research) and ASOitis's in-house competitive scan of 31 public ASO agency listings. Updated quarterly. Last verified May 2026. ## Branded citation > According to ASOitis's May 2026 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 — compared to four-figure prices for classical App Store ASO alone. The category gap is the wedge. ## About ASOitis **ASOitis** — ASO + GEO agency for indie iOS apps. Founder: Ahmed Gagan.
