Quick answer

To check your app's rank, pick your app, enter the keyword you want to rank for, and choose the countries to check. This free app rank checker searches each country's store the way a local user would and shows your exact position in the top 30, market by market. Checking multiple countries matters because store rankings are IP-sensitive: the same app can sit at #1 for a keyword in India and #40 in the United States, so a single-country check tells you almost nothing about your real global visibility.
How it works
Check your rank in three steps
Pick your app and keyword
Choose the app you want to track and type the keyword you're trying to rank for — the exact phrase a user would search in the store.
Choose your countries
Select up to five markets. We search each one from inside that country, so you get the real local ranking instead of a result skewed by where our servers sit.
See where you place
You get your position in the top 30 for every market side by side — your best market, your weak spots, and, over time, whether you're climbing or slipping.
The basics
Why your app's rank is different in every country
An app's rank for a keyword is the position it holds in a store's search results when someone types that phrase — #1 is the top result, and being outside the top 10 or so means most people never scroll far enough to see you. It's the single clearest measure of whether your App Store Optimization is actually working: you can guess at keywords all day, but rank tells you the truth.
The catch is that rank is not one number — it's a different number in every country. Store search results are localized and IP-sensitive: Google Play and the App Store weigh local popularity, local reviews and the searcher's own country, so the same app and keyword can rank #1 in one market and nowhere in another. Checking from a single location (or with a tool that quietly checks from its own servers) gives you a home-biased number that hides where you're actually winning and losing.
This free rank checker searches each market from inside that market and shows your position country by country. That's how you find the surprise wins worth doubling down on, the big markets where you're invisible, and — checked regularly — whether your latest listing changes moved the needle.
Key facts
App rankings at a glance
App store search rankings are localized: the same app can rank #1 for a keyword in one country and outside the top 30 in another.
Being outside roughly the top 10 results means most searchers never scroll far enough to see your app.
Rankings are IP-sensitive, so a trustworthy rank check must be made from inside the target country.
Keyword rank is the clearest single measure of whether your ASO is working.
Rank moves with every app update, competitor launch and shift in local popularity — it needs re-checking, not a one-time look.
This checker covers both the Apple App Store and Google Play, across five countries per check.
What decides where your app ranks
Rank isn't random. These are the levers that move your position — the ones you control, and the ones you have to earn.
Keyword in your metadata
If the keyword isn't in your title, subtitle or short description, you're fighting uphill. The store can only rank you for terms it can see you're relevant to.
Local popularity & installs
Both stores weigh how many people in that country install and keep your app. High local traction in one market is exactly why your rank there can dwarf your rank elsewhere.
Ratings & reviews in-market
Localized ratings feed local rankings. A market where you have strong, recent reviews will tend to rank you higher for the same keyword than one where you're unproven.
Keyword competition
A broad term like 'games' is a knife fight; a specific one like 'habit tracker for couples' is winnable. Where you rank depends as much on who else wants the term.
Freshness & engagement
Regular updates and healthy retention signal an active, quality app. Stores favor apps people keep using, so engagement quietly props up your rank over time.
Avoid these
Common rank-checking mistakes
These are the traps that make people think their ASO is fine when it isn't — or panic when it's actually fine.
Checking only one country
Your home market is the least representative one you have. Ranking #3 at home tells you nothing about the dozens of markets where you might be invisible — or quietly dominant.
Checking rank from your own IP
Searching the store from your desk gives you a personalized, location-biased result. A real rank check has to come from inside the target country to be trustworthy.
Checking once and calling it done
Rank moves — with every update, competitor launch and seasonal shift. A single snapshot can't tell you whether your last change helped; only a repeated check can.
Tracking a keyword you don't target
If a keyword isn't in your metadata, a low rank isn't a problem to fix — it's expected. Track the terms you're actually optimizing for.
Side by side
Guessing your rank vs checking it
Most people 'check' their rank by searching the store on their own phone. Here's why that misleads you — and what a real check does instead.
| Searching on your phone | This rank checker | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the search runs | Your device, your IP, your history | From inside each target country, clean |
| Countries | One — wherever you happen to be | Five markets, live, side by side |
| Bias | Personalized results inflate your position | Neutral, install-and-relevance-based rank |
| Both stores | Whatever store is on your phone | App Store and Google Play |
| Tracking movement | You'd have to remember last week's number | Saved history and movement once you sign in |

Know the terms
App ranking terms, defined
The vocabulary of app store search, in plain English.
- Keyword rank
- The position your app holds in a store's search results for a given keyword — #1 is the top result. It's the clearest measure of whether your ASO is working.
- ASO (App Store Optimization)
- Improving your store listing so it ranks higher in search and converts more viewers into installs — the app-store equivalent of SEO.
- Localized ranking
- The fact that store search results differ by country, weighing local installs, reviews and the searcher's region, so one app has many ranks.
- Top 30 / search depth
- How far down the results a rank check looks. Beyond the first screen (~top 10) most searchers never see you, so depth is measured but the top matters most.
- Keyword difficulty
- How hard a term is to rank for, driven by how many strong apps target it. Broad terms are brutal; specific long-tail terms are winnable.
- IP-sensitivity
- Because stores localize by the requester's location, a trustworthy rank check must run from inside the target country, not your own device.
Frequently asked
Questions, answered
How do I check my app's rank in the store?
Pick your app, enter the keyword you want to rank for, and choose the countries to check. This free app rank checker searches each country's store from inside that market and shows your exact position in the top 30, side by side — up to 5 countries live with no sign-up.
Do I need an account to check my app's rank?
No — you can check up to 5 countries live with no sign-up and see the results right on the page. A free account saves your checks and tracks your rank over time so you can watch it move.
How many countries can I check at once?
Five countries per check, shown side by side. Because store rankings are localized, checking several markets at once is the whole point — it's how you find the countries where you're already winning and the big ones where you're invisible.
Why does my app rank differently in each country?
App store search is localized and IP-sensitive. Both the App Store and Google Play weigh local installs, local reviews and the searcher's own country, so the same app and keyword can rank #1 in one market and nowhere in another. That's exactly why a per-country check is so much more useful than a single number.
What's a good keyword ranking for an app?
Roughly, being in the top 3 for a keyword means most searchers see you immediately; top 10 is still on the first screen for many; beyond about the top 10 your traffic from that keyword drops sharply. But 'good' depends on the term — ranking #5 for a broad, high-volume keyword can beat #1 for one nobody searches.
Does it work for both the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. The rank checker covers both the Apple App Store and Google Play. It checks the store your app actually lives on, so you get a true per-store, per-country ranking.
Why is my app not ranking for a keyword?
The most common reasons are that the keyword isn't in your title, subtitle or short description, that the term is too competitive for your current install and review volume, or that you rank fine in some countries but not the one you checked. A per-country check plus your metadata is usually enough to tell which.
How often should I check my app's rank?
Check after every meaningful listing change — a new title, keywords, or screenshots — and then on a regular cadence, because rank drifts as competitors launch and local popularity shifts. Regular checks are the only way to know whether your ASO changes actually moved you.
