Geeklab

Overview

Geeklab is a leading mobile marketing platform that specializes in App Store Optimization (ASO). It allows developers to create 'look-alike' app store pages for Apple AppStore, Google Play, and Steam to A/B test creatives, descriptions, and concepts before launching. By using real audience data, it helps app publishers maximize their conversion rates and lower user acquisition costs.

What it does

• Creates high-fidelity A/B test landing pages that mimic official app stores.
• Tests app icons, screenshots, videos, and descriptions with real users.
• Provides detailed analytics on 'Install' clicks and page scrolling behavior.
• Includes a survey tool to collect qualitative feedback from testers.
• Features AI-powered predictive scores to identify winning app store creatives.

Who it's for

• Mobile Game Developers
• App Marketing Managers
• Growth Marketers
• ASO Agencies

Why it works

• Risk Reduction: Allows publishers to validate a game concept or art style before writing code.
• Accuracy: Provides much deeper data than standard store-provided A/B tools (like Google Play Console).
• Speed: Tests can be set up and run in days rather than weeks.
• Integration: Works seamlessly with ad platforms like Meta and TikTok to drive traffic to tests.

Founder story

Founded in 2019 by Jesse Lempiäinen and Jani Torppa in Helsinki, Finland. Jesse, a veteran in mobile gaming (previously at Rovio and Kopla Games), realized that too many games failed because their marketing wasn't validated. He built Geeklab to give developers the data they need to build games that people actually want to install.
