Keyword Scout: ASO Research

Find the right keywords before you waste months on the wrong ones.

Keyword Scout gives indie developers and ASO professionals an instant read on keyword difficulty, market saturation, real search demand, and competitor positioning, so you make smarter decisions about your App Store listing from day one.

KEYWORD RESEARCH Search any keyword and instantly see how hard it is to rank for, how saturated the market is, how much real demand it has, and which apps are winning. Every result comes with scored winnable alternatives: lower-competition, long-tail terms ranked by opportunity, each with an honest verdict (Worth a shot, Targetable, or Avoid) so you never chase a keyword you can't win. When Apple actually autocompletes a term, you'll see an "Apple-suggested" badge, a hard signal that real users are typing it, not an inflated guess.

SOFT TARGETS The fastest way to find an opening: popular apps with unhappy users. Keyword Scout scans the top charts for apps that are clearly successful but poorly rated (proven demand, weak satisfaction) and ranks the openings you could realistically out-build. See the top complaints from their recent reviews, badges when an app is making money despite bad reviews, and a "rating falling" flag when an opening is widening. Then jump straight to the keywords that app ranks for and go take them.

ASO STUDIO Paste in your title, subtitle, and keyword field and get a grade with a full breakdown of what's working and what to fix. Then generate an optimized version, a paste-ready 100-character keyword string built from your real competitor data, and compare versions for even more control.

COMPETITOR ANALYSIS See exactly what users hate about competing apps. Keyword Scout analyzes hundreds of reviews across your top competitors and surfaces the most common friction points, coverage gaps, and unresolved complaints, the exact angles you can win on. Then open the rank matrix: your App Store rank vs. every competitor you watch, keyword by keyword, with your gaps flagged so you know precisely what to go after next.

MARKET PULSE A daily market brief for your category. Track competitor updates, keyword saturation shifts, and apps rising and falling in the charts, so you always know what's moving before you react to it.

MARKET COMPARISON The same keyword can be Easy in Mexico and Hard in the US. Compare difficulty and saturation across 175+ App Store markets to find where you have the best shot at ranking, before you invest in localization.

RANK TRACKING Save your keywords and track how your position moves over time. Snapshots, trend lines, and rating history so you always know whether your ASO efforts are paying off, plus a push alert the moment a tracked keyword moves.
