app store optimization pricing: the real numbers
Agency rates for app store optimization: $8,000-30,000/month for 30-100 pages a quarter. That's $80-200 per page, paid forever. The pages are good; the unit economics are terrible.
In-house: hire 1-2 SEOs and a developer. ~$200,000/year all-in. Ships ~500 pages a quarter once the team is up. Per-page cost: ~$100, but you're stuck with the headcount.
Pageforge: $0.50 per page at the starter tier, $0.08 at 1M+. One-time charge, full ownership, deployable anywhere. The math is 100-2000x more favorable than agencies on per-page cost — message me on WhatsApp (+971 50 636 9943) for a quote.

why app store optimization works (when done right)
ASO is SEO for apps. We rank apps in 30+ countries simultaneously through programmatic localisation.
Done right, app store optimization produces pages that rank for thousands of long-tail queries that hand-crafted SEO can't touch. The math works because the marginal cost per page is near-zero.
// the pipeline
how a million pages get built
discovery call
We talk on WhatsApp — usually 15-30 minutes. You tell me your industry, target markets, current site, and budget. I send a page-count estimate and a price the same day.
url plan
I build the URL grid for any vertical in any market — the canonical list of (service, location, industry, intent) combinations to generate. Typical mid-size build: 50,000–200,000 unique URLs.
content templates
We finalise the page templates — hero patterns, schema blocks, internal-link structure, CTA placement. 25+ visual variants rotated by stable hash so the build doesn't look templated.
build + validate
Python generation pipeline runs across all URLs. Every page validates: schema compliance, word count, no forbidden phrases, internal links resolve. Typical run for 100,000 pages: under 2 minutes.
deploy + index
Static HTML output deploys to your hosting. Sitemaps submit to Google Search Console + Bing Webmaster Tools. Indexing API submits the first 200 URLs/day for the priority pages. Typical first ranking lift: 30-60 days.

frequently asked
Do you do international SEO for any vertical?
Yes. Multi-language, multi-currency, region-specific schema, hreflang implementation — all built in. We've done builds across 8+ languages and 30+ countries. Message me on WhatsApp (+971 50 636 9943) for international quotes.
What about Google's helpful content update?
Pageforge pages are built with the helpful content update in mind: unique structured copy per URL, schema markup, real internal linking, FAQs, and substantive content (1,500-2,000 words minimum). We don't ship thin or duplicate pages.
Do I own the pages after delivery?
Yes. Full ownership. Source files, templates, data, scripts — all yours. You can regenerate, edit, host, redeploy, sell or modify anything. No recurring license fees.
What's the difference between pageforge and hiring an SEO agency?
Agencies charge $8,000-30,000/month and produce ~30 pages a quarter. Pageforge charges $0.50/page one-time and ships 10,000-1,000,000 pages in days. The output is different in kind, not degree — agencies write hand-crafted content for ~50 keywords; pageforge generates the entire long-tail surface for tens of thousands of keywords.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We sign standard NDAs and never disclose client lists, page builds, or methodologies to third parties. Your competitive edge is yours.
Will Google penalise me for app store optimization?
Programmatic SEO is fine with Google as long as the pages have genuine value, unique content per URL, and aren't doorway pages. We design every page to pass Google's helpful-content evaluation — unique copy per URL, real schema, no thin content. Sites like Zapier (3M+ pages), Tripadvisor (millions), and G2 (millions) prove the model works.
Do you offer app store optimization for small businesses?
Yes — the 1,000-page tier at $500 is built specifically for small businesses that want to dominate their any market market for any business without burning a five-figure monthly retainer. WhatsApp me at +971 50 636 9943 for a quote.
Why are you so cheap compared to agencies?
Because the work is leveraged. The Python pipeline that generates 1,000 pages also generates 1,000,000 — the marginal cost per page is effectively zero. I keep prices low because the leverage is high and I'd rather have 100 happy clients than 5 milking ones.
