App Store Keyword Engine

The job: your agent picks your App Store words from what the store is showing today, not from guesswork.

Most keyword advice fails the same way. Somebody guesses what the competition is going after, crams the guesses into a subtitle, and then wonders why nobody ever finds the app. This skill makes the agent go and look. For every search term you're weighing up, it pulls the apps really sitting at the top of that result list — straight off Apple's own free public pages, using the trick that stops it grabbing the wrong app's subtitle off the page, a mistake we made and wrote down. Then it counts which words those apps use, lays the count out in a table, and rewrites your app name, subtitle and keyword field one character at a time.

What's on the tag:

• The first check of all: does your own app come up when someone searches its name? If it doesn't, everything after that changes, and the skill tells you which of three causes you've got.
• The wrong-neighborhood check. The most expensive mistake in App Store search is one word in your name that files you under the wrong category, against apps you cannot beat. One documented run found a productivity app buried among journaling apps with six-figure review counts, because of a single word in its name. The check finds that in minutes.
• Rules for filling in each field: write keywords in the singular ("category" also covers "categories", but not the other way round), never use the same word twice across two fields, and usually lead your app name with the search word instead of your brand — plus how to check whether your category is one of the ones that runs the other way. And how to work three or four of your search phrases into the first 250 characters of the description, as normal sentences and not a word list — that's the part people see before they tap More.
• A rewrite for eight more countries, using the local word for your category that most foreign apps never bother with. The German and Japanese ones alone are why a translated subtitle is the cheapest ranking win on the shelf.
• A rollout plan that knows where the sharp edges are: which fields change live without waiting on review, and why starting a new version with no build attached leaves you a draft you can never delete. That one was learned the hard way.

Who it's issued to: indie iOS developers and small studios whose apps never show up in search, and anyone who wants the every-few-months keyword pass to be one prompt instead of an afternoon of juggling browser tabs.

Why not a free download off some list? Free skill files are copied patterns nobody ever ran. This one shipped real App Store listings, and every warning in it — the four ways the page pull goes quietly wrong, the draft you can't delete, the risk of renaming an app while it's in review — was paid for on a live app. It's kept up to date: when Apple moves a limit or changes a screen, the file gets fixed and your locker gets the new copy.
