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.

Megan Dean ASO consultant: worth hiring?

The comparison
Megan Dean 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 · Acquisition quality
Cheap installs can still be expensive tourists.
This is an illustrative listing problem—the kind of work I want you to judge me on.
The weak starting point
More downloads means the campaign worked.
A more useful direction
More people install and complete the action the app exists for.
Why I would challenge it
A listing can attract curiosity without attracting fit. If the promise creates the wrong expectation, download growth may conceal a weaker audience. Your store message should qualify people as well as persuade them.
What I would do next
Define a meaningful first action and connect the listing promise to it.
How I would judge the change
Read install conversion alongside activation and retention, using comparable acquisition cohorts.
The CV can wait
Judge the work in public.
Before hiring Megan Dean, 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.
