Developer rudrank shares hands-on ASO results: after localizing his app's metadata, daily impressions jumped from 216 to 2,853 on Oct 24, with almost all gains coming from search in Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Korea and Argentina. He did it with ASC CLI (App Store Connect command-line) plus PPP as his toolchain, and screenshots show keywords jumping 110-180 positions in a day, one reaching #2. A replicable low-cost growth playbook for indie developers.
