App Store Optimization, usually shortened to ASO, is the work of making an app easier to find and more likely to be downloaded once someone finds it, inside stores like the Apple App Store and Google Play. It covers everything from the words used in the app's title and description to the screenshots, ratings, and reviews that shape whether someone taps install.
Whether you have a project that needs App Store Optimization expertise you don't have in-house, want to learn how to think about ASO yourself, or simply want to connect with people working in the space, Toskie TeamUp gives you a direct path to real collaborators instead of a cold job posting. Browse actual profiles and case studies, filter for the kind of collaboration you need, whether that's TeamUp for hands-on project work or Mentor for learning, and start the conversation yourself. If you're the one with ASO expertise rather than the one looking for it, you can set up a collaborator profile and start hearing directly from people who need it.
Toskie makes it easier to find and connect with skilled professionals for exactly what you need.

Whether you're looking for an App Store Optimization collaborator nearby or someone with a very specific kind of expertise, Toskie helps take the guesswork out of finding them and starting the conversation.
Researches the exact words people use to search for apps like yours, rewrites the app's listing around those terms, and then tracks how rankings, downloads, and conversion rates shift so the listing keeps improving instead of sitting untouched after launch.
This covers figuring out what terms people actually type into the App Store or Google Play search bar, then working those into the app's title, subtitle, and keyword fields in a way that still reads naturally to a human being.
Ranking well only matters if people then tap install, so this covers designing and testing screenshots, preview videos, and icons to see which versions actually convert a visitor into a download.
Both app stores weigh ratings and reviews heavily in how they rank an app, so this involves prompting happy users for reviews at the right moment and responding to negative ones in a way that limits the damage.
Good ASO work doesn't stop at launch. This includes running structured experiments on the listing, watching how keyword rankings and conversion rates move over time, and adjusting the approach based on what the data actually shows.
Because Toskie lets you review a collaborator's background and past app listings and speak with them directly before committing to anything, there's no cost to being careful here. The thing that separates strong ASO work from weak work is whether a collaborator can show actual ranking or download data tied to changes they made, rather than a vague claim that they "improved visibility," since keyword rankings and conversion rates are measurable and any credible collaborator should be comfortable sharing before-and-after numbers. Ask to see one specific example with real figures attached.
Portfolio depth: Look for app listings they've worked on that you can still find live in the store today, not just screenshots of old mockups.
Relevant industry experience: A gaming app and a B2B productivity app are discovered and judged very differently, so check whether their past work matches your app's category.
Clarity of approach: A strong collaborator can walk you through how they'd research keywords for your specific app, not just recite a generic checklist.
Direct conversation: Ask them what they'd change first about your current listing, since a specific, grounded answer says more than a general pitch.
SEO is about ranking pages in a web search engine like Google, while ASO is about ranking an app listing inside a store's own search and browse system, which weighs different signals such as install velocity, ratings, and in-app engagement rather than backlinks. The core idea of matching content to what people search for is similar, but the mechanics and the ranking factors are quite different.
Metadata changes like a new title or keyword set can sometimes shift rankings within a few days to a couple of weeks. Improvements that depend on more downloads and better reviews building up over time, which both stores factor into ranking, usually take longer, often a few months of consistent work.
ASO can meaningfully improve how an existing app performs with the traffic it already gets from organic search and browsing. But for a brand-new app with no download history or reviews yet, paid acquisition is often what generates the early signals, like install volume, that ASO then benefits from.
Toskie doesn't set or process rates — pricing and terms are agreed directly between you and the collaborator you connect with, based on the scope you define.
No. Toskie facilitates the connection; any commercial or payment terms are arranged directly between you and the collaborator.
