Four cases, four different levers. Each one the multiplier for a different kind of app. Names withheld where clients prefer; mechanics in full.
Short answer: four Shopify apps, four levers. App store SEO tripled search installs. Shopify ads doubled installs at a third of the cost. Google Ads returned 563% ROAS. Pricing and monetization took one app from $100K to $450K MRR in five months, with no traffic or product change.
| Case | Lever | Result | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | App store SEO | 3× search installs, +100/mo free | App store SEO |
| 2 | Shopify ads | 2× installs at ⅓ cost per install | Shopify ads |
| 3 | Google Ads | 563% ROAS at $0.07 CPC | Google Ads |
| 4 | Pricing & monetization | $100K → $450K MRR in 5 months | Pricing |
