Indie Dev's AI-Assisted ASO Drive Lifted Core Keywords 200+ Spots
tinyfool · x · 2026-10-29
tinyfool ran a full ASO (App Store optimization) cycle on his own app and published a 5-chapter guide: expanded from tracking a handful of keywords to 100+ relevant ones, got multiple keywords to #1, most into the top 10, and core keywords up over 200 positions.
The workflow: use Astro for keyword popularity/difficulty/ranking, combined with Google Trends and ChatGPT for selection; then optimize copy (name for purpose, subtitle for benefit), screenshots (first three must explain the product), and finally validate with actual download data. Aimed at indie iPhone/iPad developers.
