Store suggestions
A quick search reads the seed term twice. A deep search adds every letter of the alphabet after it: 28 readings in English, about half a minute.
Keyword hunt
Find your next keyword in the store itself.
Keyword hunt measures the searches the store suggests, the keywords your rivals rank top 10 for and the words already on your listing; the opportunities list tells you where to start.
Uptika's keyword hunt finds new keywords from three sources, store autocomplete, the searches where your rivals rank in the top 10 and the words on your own store listing, and scores each one for popularity and difficulty from 1 to 100.
Keyword hunt
What do you get?
Rival keywords
Searches you do not track where a rival ranks in the top 10, from the last 14 days of readings. Rivals are the ones you follow plus apps that keep showing up in your keywords.
Words on your listing
Words and two-word phrases from your title, subtitle or short description and keyword field, weighted by where they appear; the top 60.
Opportunities, one click away
Searched and easy (popularity 30+, difficulty 45 or less), near the top 10 (11–30), rivals' top 10, in your title but not ranking, and searches nobody makes.
Instant ping
Search any keyword in any storefront right now, for your app or any other: position, top 10, popularity and difficulty.
How does it work?
Start with a word
Type a seed term or open the rivals and listing tabs. Unmeasured terms are measured in one click, 25 at a time.
Read the numbers
Popularity comes from how early autocomplete offers the search, difficulty from the top results' rating counts and titles. Measurements are kept for 30 days.
Track them
Add your picks to the keyword radar in bulk; they are read every day from the next morning.
Free
Which plan includes it?
Keyword hunt, opportunities and the instant ping are on every plan. Free tracks 10 keywords; Starter tracks 100, from $29 a month.
Questions
Is keyword hunt free?
Yes, on every plan. Tracked keywords count toward your plan limit: 10 on Free, 100 on Starter, 500 on Growth, 3,000 on Portfolio.
Is popularity a search volume?
No. The stores do not publish search volume. Popularity is a 1–100 signal: the fewer letters the store needs before suggesting the search, and the higher it lists it, the higher the score. A search never suggested gets 1.
How are opportunities picked?
By open rules, such as searches with popularity 30 or more and difficulty 45 or less that you do not track, or keywords where you sit at 11–30. Each row says why.
Is there a limit on instant pings?
No plan limit. It reads the first 200 results on the App Store and the first result page, about 30 apps, on Google Play.
Do I need to connect App Store Connect?
No. When connected, your subtitle and keyword field join the listing words; without it, the public listing text is used.
