# See how you look in search before you publish.

> Uptika's search mirror shows your app's search result card (icon, name, subtitle or short description, rating and first three screenshots) on a phone screen next to the top 8 results from the latest reading of a keyword you track.

The search mirror puts your card next to a keyword's real top 8 results; the screenshots page compares your screenshots with your rivals' in every storefront.

## What do you get?

- **The real results page**: Rival cards come from the latest daily reading of that keyword: which apps, in what order, with what text and screenshots. Your rank and the keyword's popularity sit on top.
- **Try your draft**: Switch between "Live text" and "Draft": a draft saved in the copy workshop replaces the live text on your card.
- **What the card shows**: How much of your name and subtitle fits in search, how many screenshots make it onto the card, and your rating, each with its limit.
- **Screenshots, storefront by storefront**: Your screenshot count and strip in each tracked storefront, against your rivals' average, and whether that storefront has its own localized set.

## How does it work?

1. **Pick a keyword**: Choose one of your tracked keywords; your rank and the date of the last reading show.
2. **Compare the cards**: Your card and the top 8 results open side by side on phone screens.
3. **Fix the copy or the art**: Change the draft in the copy workshop and look again; screenshot gaps show per storefront on the screenshots page.

## Which plan includes it?

Free: The search mirror and screenshots are on every plan. For more storefronts, Starter opens 3 per app, from $29 a month.

## Questions

### Who are the rivals?

In the search mirror, the real top 8 results for that keyword. On the screenshots page, the rivals you follow; if you follow none, the 4 apps most often in the top 5 of your keywords.

### Is the draft published to the store?

No. The draft is only previewed in Uptika; you move the text to the store yourself.

### How is a localized set detected?

With App Store Connect connected, Uptika checks whether the storefront's main language has its own set. Without it, a storefront counts as localized when its set differs from the most common one.

### Is it free?

Yes, the search mirror and the screenshots page are on every plan.
