FAQs

Common Questions

How far in advance should I start pre-launch marketing?
Ideally 8–12 weeks before your expected launch date. This gives enough time for ASO research, creative production, press outreach lead time, and beta testing. We can work with as little as 4 weeks, but 6–8 weeks is the sweet spot for the Growth package.
Do you work with apps that aren't built yet?
Yes. We can start strategy, keyword research, and audience positioning work before the app is built. Store creative and ad production typically begins once you have a working beta. We've helped teams start marketing planning as early as the wireframe stage.
What's included in the "custom quote" pricing?
We price each project based on your specific scope, timeline, platform (iOS / Android / both), target markets, and add-ons selected. After you submit a quote request, we'll send a detailed proposal with fixed pricing within 24 hours. There are no hidden fees.
Can I add paid campaign management after the pre-launch phase?
Absolutely. Many clients continue with us into a monthly UA management retainer after launch. The pre-launch work we do — creatives, audiences, attribution setup — means campaigns can launch immediately with proven assets rather than starting from zero.
Do you guarantee press coverage or installs?
The Scale package includes a press guarantee of 5 published articles. For other packages, we target 50+ journalist pitches and typically achieve 3–10 placements. We never guarantee install numbers — that depends on your product, market, and budget — but we do guarantee effort, quality, and transparency throughout.
