Read the original ASO thread BUILT BY SOMEONE DOING THE WORK
I'm Blaida (@kedytcom), a solo iOS developer and founder of LocalizeRank.
I've shipped 25+ iOS apps and I'm still testing releases, handling App Review, and working on distribution in 2026. LocalizeRank turns those lessons into a process other indie developers can actually follow.
The Playbook focuses on the work that repeatedly mattered: distribution, keyword choices, market selection, metadata discipline, and conversion—not generic growth advice.

QUESTIONS
Before you get the Playbook.
What exactly do I receive?
A 33-page digital PDF, a reusable ASO template, prompts, and buyer-only video walkthroughs covering market research, keyword selection, metadata, localization, and supporting tools. Every new method I develop comes with a video walkthrough, sent to all buyers.
Can I read it on my phone or tablet?
Yes. The Playbook is a standard PDF that opens in modern PDF readers on phones, tablets, and computers. The videos can be watched in a browser from your buyer folder.
How do I access the videos?
After Stripe confirms your payment, the buyer page provides the resource-folder link for the PDF and video walkthroughs. Bookmark that folder so you can return at any time; no separate LocalizeRank account is required. I also send all buyers a new video walkthrough whenever I develop a new method.
What do the videos cover?
The current walkthroughs demonstrate how to add an app to Tryastro, find market ideas with Sensor Tower, organize markets and keywords, and turn the research into an actionable plan with Grok and Tryastro. New methods are covered in additional videos sent to all buyers.
Is this updated for the 2026 App Store?
Yes. This is the 2026 edition and covers the current workflow presented on this page, including App Store metadata, localization, screenshots, and the 2026 Apple Ads campaign structure. Your purchase includes future Playbook updates.
Is it useful for a first app?
Yes. The workflow starts with App Store fundamentals and moves in a clear order from research to implementation and measurement.
Do I need expensive ASO software?
No. The Playbook explains a process you can start with free or affordable tools. Paid platforms mainly make research faster.
Is this the same as the localization service?
No. The Playbook is the DIY option. LocalizeRank also provides done-for-you market research and localized metadata from $149.
What if it is not useful?
Email hello@localizerank.com within 30 days of purchase and request a refund.
