The person pitching does the thinking.
I review the listing and write the recommendations. You can challenge the reasoning with the person responsible for it.
Andy Carvell · An ASO alternative
Andy Carvell ASO consultant: worth hiring?
Looking for Andy Carvell? You found me. Hello, mate.
I’m Gabriel Machuret. Yes, I put another name on my page to earn a shot at your attention. Cheeky? Absolutely. Now imagine that competitive instinct focused on making your app worth noticing.
A CV tells you where someone has been. I’d rather show you what I would fix.

The comparison
Andy Carvell or Gabriel Machuret?
Who cares about the name if your listing still says nothing?
You’re here now. Let me earn the next five minutes. I work directly on your listing: finding the weak argument, explaining the problem and writing a next move your team can use. No account-manager séance required.
Corporate fog has had a lovely run.
Clear metadata. Screenshot messages with a purpose. A visible benefit instead of another expensive way to say “innovative”.
The PDF is not the finish line.
We agree the outputs, priorities and responsibilities. Your team leaves knowing what to change and what to check afterwards.
How I think · Growth priorities
A growth stack is useless if nobody knows what to fix Monday.
This is an illustrative listing problem—the kind of work I want you to judge me on.
The weak starting point
Optimise acquisition, engagement and retention.
A more useful direction
This week: remove the mismatch between the ad promise and screenshot one.
Why I would challenge it
The first statement is a department chart pretending to be a task. A useful priority identifies a specific gap, an owner and evidence that would change the decision. Your team should not need another workshop to begin.
What I would do next
Rank findings by evidence, likely impact, effort and dependencies.
How I would judge the change
Review the targeted funnel step after the change, with a date and decision rule agreed upfront.
The CV can wait
Judge the work in public.
Before hiring Andy Carvell, me or anyone else for an ASO project, look at how we think. My public app audits show the criticism, the reasoning and the proposed changes.
Want to learn the method? The free ASO course gives you lessons and practical exercises. You shouldn’t need a discovery call to discover whether I can explain the job.
Your app is the point
Bring a listing. Leave with a direction.
Send the store link, your main market and the problem you want to solve. I’ll look for the gap between what your app does and what your listing communicates.
If the issue belongs to the product, I’ll say so. Not every problem needs another keyword spreadsheet wearing a consultant’s tie.

Tell me what needs fixing. You see how I think; we agree what useful work looks like. A better introduction than a forty-slide funeral for your marketing budget.
