What they did
The app already ranked well for a target keyword. Created an App Store custom product page for that keyword on the organic side, so people searching it see a different screenshot set (the screenshot for that feature moved to the front). Steve says custom product pages work for both organic (ASO) and Apple Search Ads.
What happened
Roughly $200 made within two or three days of launching the page.

- Effort
- 2-3 days live
“And then when we put a custom product page and targeted that keyword on the organic side, we're able to show a different screenshot for those searching for those keywords.”
“with one of our clients, you know, it was a few days in, but we already made like $200 just doing this particular strategy”
