ChatGPT for ASO is useful — but only with live store data (summary)

A credited summary of ConsultMyApp’s argument: LLMs help with ideation and drafting, but ASO decisions still require live rankings, search demand signals, and competitive context.

What ChatGPT is genuinely good for in ASO

The article’s main “yes” is straightforward: LLMs are great at speeding up the messy first draft, like:

  • brainstorming keyword themes and angles
  • drafting / tightening descriptions
  • generating screenshot messaging ideas

Where LLM-only workflows break (the missing inputs)

Their core claim: without live App Store / Play Store signals, you can’t answer the questions ASO work actually depends on:

  • Which keywords have meaningful demand now?
  • How competitive are they (and who’s winning)?
  • Where do you rank today — and how is it changing over time?
  • What does the current creative landscape look like in the category?

So you can generate “relevant” ideas, but you can’t reliably prioritize.

A practical workflow that doesn’t overcomplicate things

The useful mental model:

  1. Use AI to ideate fast (copy, themes, keyword lists).
  2. Validate with real data (rankings, demand proxies, competitive screenshots).
  3. Ship the smallest listing change you can measure.

Why it matters

If you skip validation, you can waste weeks optimizing around terms that:

  • don’t drive impressions
  • are too competitive to move
  • don’t match user intent (so conversion tanks even if rankings rise)
