App Store & Google Play Keyword Rank Checker
See the observed search position of any app for any keyword, in up to five countries at once. Results are labelled with their source, depth and retrieval time.
Reading your results
Each country card shows one of the following outcomes. The wording is deliberate, because a missing position is not the same as a bad position.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| #1 | The app was the first result returned for the keyword in that country. |
| Top 3 / Top 10 | Positions most users see without scrolling far. These drive the majority of search installs. |
| Top 20 / Top 30 | Visible to users who scroll. A realistic starting point for a keyword you have just added to your metadata. |
| Beyond top 30 | Found, but deep in the results. Only reported for the App Store, where the source returns around 200–250 results. |
| Not found in the first N results | The app was not among the N results we could check. It may rank deeper, or not be indexed for the keyword in that country. |
| Rate limited / Unavailable | The store or our fair-use limit temporarily prevented the check. No position is shown, and nothing is guessed. |
| Unsupported country | No data source covers this store in that country (for example, Google Play is not offered in mainland China). |
Tips for accurate checks
- Use the exact phrase. “photo editor” and “photo editing” are different searches with different results.
- Check the keyword in the local language. A German user searches for “pflanzen erkennen”, not “plant identifier”.
- Pick the right app. Many apps share similar names; confirm the developer on the app card before checking.
- Compare like with like. App Store and Google Play positions come from different sources with different depths, so compare an app with itself over time or with competitors in the same store.
