Step 1: Discover Top Performers in Your Niche

Start by identifying the main competitors in your niche to discover the best-performing keywords for your app category.

Tip: The accuracy of your keywords research depends on the number of competitors you choose. Make sure you choose at least 30 competitors but keep in mind that the more the better. You can choose up to 100 direct competitors.

Step 2: Get Recommended Keywords in Every Country

The Recommended Keywords section collects together all the best-performing keywords from all Asolytics keywords tools. Here you can add the most effective keywords to your semantic core that, again, will appear in the Tracking section.

🚀 Benefits of Using Recommended Keywords:

All you need is just to approve (start tracking) or decline to suggested keywords.

You’ll see these important metrics:

Popularity: Keyword popularity is a metric that measures how often a specific keyword is searched for by users on search engines.
Daily Impressions: It is very often necessary to track the indicators for the day, especially during A/B testing.
Difficulty (competition): When choosing keywords, one should also consider the level of difficulty of competition for those keywords. Highly competitive keys may make it hard for an app to stand out.
App rank: It shows the app’s current position for specific keywords in the app store search.

Tip: Make sure you choose popular keywords with a high number of daily impressions. Also, the less difficult the keyword is, the easier it will be to compete with this keyword. You can also see how many of the top 10 direct competitors use particular keywords (more competitors – more relevant keyword).
