Quick answer
App store keyword research is finding which keywords are worth targeting by seeing which apps currently rank for them in the App Store and Google Play. ReachFront's keyword research tool pulls the live ranking for any keyword — by country and per store — so you can see how competitive a term is, where your app sits, and which keywords are actually worth targeting, with the searches you care about saved to revisit.
How it works
Check any keyword in three steps
Type a keyword
Enter any search term your users might type. No setup, no keyword list to import — just the phrase you're curious about.
See the live ranking
We pull the current App Store or Play Store results for that keyword, so you see the real apps ranking today, in order.
Compare and save
Switch country, toggle stores, and save the keywords you're tracking so you can watch how the ranking moves over time.
The basics
Why live rankings beat search volume alone
Keyword research for apps usually starts with a volume number, but volume without competition is only half the picture. A keyword thousands search for is worthless if ten entrenched apps own the top spots — and a smaller, specific keyword you can actually rank for can drive more installs.
The way to tell the difference is to look at who's ranking right now. If the top results are giant, generic apps, the term is a wall. If they're weak listings or apps only loosely related to the query, that's a gap you can win with better metadata.
The Keyword Rank Checker gives you that live view for any term, on either store, in any country. See the real ranking, judge how beatable it is, save the keywords worth targeting, and feed the winners straight into your listing.
What the rank checker gives you
Live, per-store ranking data — the input every good ASO keyword decision starts from.

Judge competitiveness
A glance at who holds the top spots tells you whether a keyword is a wall or a winnable gap.

Key facts
App Store Keyword Research at a glance
Search volume without competition is only half the picture — who ranks now tells you if a keyword is winnable.
A specific keyword you can rank for often drives more installs than a broad one you can't.
App Store and Google Play rank the same keyword differently, so each store needs its own check.
Rankings vary by country, so the term to target depends on the markets you're shipping to.
Frequently asked
App Store Keyword Research, answered
Is the ranking data live?
Yes. Type a keyword and the checker pulls the current App Store or Google Play search results, so you see the apps ranking today, in order — not a cached estimate.
Can I check different countries and both stores?
Yes. Pick any country and toggle between the App Store and Google Play, since rankings differ by market and by store for the same keyword.
How does this help my ASO?
Seeing who ranks tells you how competitive a keyword is and whether it's winnable. You save the beatable ones and target them in your listing — that's the core of ASO keyword research.
