How It Works

  • Select a keyword to see how apps rank for that term in the chosen country. This helps you understand which apps dominate search results for specific keywords.

  • Select a country for which you want to view keyword rankings. This is crucial for understanding localized performance and adapting strategies for different markets.

  • You can add the keyword to your Keyword list for further analysis using the bookmark button.

  • Enable Realtime search using the switcher. When enabled, the search will provide up-to-date, live results that are fetched directly without using cached data.
    This may take slightly longer than retrieving results from cache but ensures you’re seeing the most current app rankings.
