The anti-agency

ASO agencieslove spendingyour money.Flip the switch.

You don't need twelve people, a monthly deck and an account manager who learned ASO last quarter. You need the consultant those agencies quietly read, quote and hire. Direct. Fixed scope. Nothing to renew.

01 — What you're actually paying for

Hover a row to unredact

Strategic partnership

A Slack channel nobody answers on Fridays. A quarter of the fee buys the work; the rest buys their office, their sales team and the pipeline they built with your budget.

Translation: Overpriced by design

Monthly reporting

Your own store described back to you in their brand font, exported from the tool you already pay for. Movement everywhere, installs nowhere.

Translation: Tons of talk, zero result

Top-100 clients

A wall of logos they never moved. Ask which listing they wrote, which keyword they won, which test lifted conversion. Watch the room go quiet.

Translation: Fancy logos, no proof

02 — The kill switch

One of these two
is doing the work

AgencyDirect

Option A — the agency Cut off

You brief a salesperson; a junior does the workLocked retainer, whether they ship or notReports that describe the store, not change itYour team learns nothing — dependency is the productThe same template as your competitor

Option B — Gabriel, direct Live

You talk to the person doing the work. Always.Fixed scope, fixed fee, dated deliverablesRewritten listings, tested creative, ranked keywordsYour team leaves able to run ASO without meOne category, one strategy, your app only

03 — Four weeks, no decks

01

The teardown

Your listing, five competitors, your keyword reality — pulled apart. The honest version, including the parts you won’t like.

02

The rewrite

Title, subtitle, keyword field, description, creative order. Written and handed over ready to paste.

03

The test

Ship, measure, cut what lost. One variable at a time, so you know which change earned the installs.

04

The handover

The system, the calendar, the training. If you never call me again, I did it right.

04 — Receipts, not a logo wall

Ask me to open any file on the call
Case file 01

Keyword reset

The market, semantic field and ranking opportunity — documented before a single metadata change ships.

Case file 02

Creative order

One controlled hypothesis at a time, measured against conversion rather than creative opinion.

Case file 03

Listing rewrite

Every field rewritten and handed over ready to paste, with the reasoning your team can reuse.

No sequence. No newsletter. One video, one reply.

07 — What agencies tell you about me

One person can’t scale to our portfolio.+

One person wrote the strategy at every agency you’ve hired — the other eleven forwarded it. I take a fixed number of clients at a time, which is why the work ships. If your portfolio is genuinely too big, I train your team to run it and step out.

Who covers you when you’re unavailable?+

Fixed scope with dated deliverables, not an always-on retainer you pay for regardless. You know exactly what lands and when — and after handover your team isn’t waiting on me either way.

ASO needs constant monthly management.+

ASO needs decisive changes, then patience while the stores respond. Monthly management exists because monthly is how agencies bill, not how ranking works. Weekly keyword churn is a charge for noise.

Cheaper must mean lower quality.+

You’re not paying less for the work. You’re not paying for their sales team, office, account layer or the pipeline built with the last client’s budget. Remove those and the same expertise costs a fraction.

What if we already have an agency?+

Start with the free teardown and hold it next to their last report. If they’re doing the work you’ll see it. If they’re describing the work you’ll see that too — and you’ll know which conversation to have.

Stop funding
someone else's
office.

A limited number of engagements at a time, in one language: what we change, when it ships, what it costs. If we're not a fit I'll tell you on the first call and point you somewhere better.
