How long does it actually take to get organic app downloads? (Real numbers please)

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to understand realistic timelines for organic app downloads, and I’m looking for actual experiences, not marketing theory.

A few specific questions:

How long did it take before you saw your first organic downloads?

– Days? Weeks? A full month?

In the first month, roughly how many organic downloads did you get?

– 0–10? 10–50? 100+?

After the first month, how did growth look?

– Slow and steady?

– Flat for a while and then picked up?

– Gradual increase month over month?

What actually moved the needle for you?

– ASO changes (keywords, screenshots, description)

– Reviews/ratings

– Content marketing / social

– App updates

– Something else?

Context (if helpful):

– App is live on the store

– No paid ads right now, only organic

– Just trying to set real expectations instead of guessing

If you’ve launched an app before, I’d really appreciate numbers + timelines, even if they’re rough.

Thanks 🙌
