In this PocketGamer.biz episode, hosts Peggy Anne Salz and Brian Baglow sit down with Yevhen Tarasenko, App Growth Consultant and ASO expert, to break down why sustainable organic growth is built on discipline, not shortcuts.
Drawing parallels between ASO and drumming in a metal band, Yevhen explains why teams that treat the app store as a live channel and build always-on systems consistently outperform those chasing quick wins.
Youโll learn:
๐ฅ Why ASO works like keeping time in a band, requiring consistency, structure and pressure-tested fundamentals
๐ How to prove the real value of organic growth by measuring incrementality and establishing clean baselines
๐ ๏ธ What studios should prioritise first, from in-app events to custom product pages, even with limited resources
๐ค Where AI and automation can genuinely help today, including speeding up workflows and reducing manual work by up to 40%
๐ฎ Why product, marketing and creative teams need to play the same song to unlock sustainable ASO performance
