What is iOS App Ranking Intelligence?

iOS App Ranking Intelligence is a free ASO tool that tracks keyword rankings on the Apple App Store. It monitors position changes daily, detects breakout apps, rapid growth signals, and ranking declines across multiple countries.

How does the keyword ranking tracking work?

We monitor App Store keyword rankings regularly. The tool records each app's position, detects movements of 25+ ranks as rapid growth, identifies new entries in the top 50 as breakouts, and flags sudden drops as declines.

Which countries are supported?

The tool supports tracking across multiple App Store country markets including the United States (US), Japan (JP), and more. Cross-country analysis reveals global momentum patterns and market-specific trends.

Is iOS App Ranking Intelligence free?

Yes, the public dashboard is completely free to use with no signup required. Registered users can track custom keywords and receive personalized alerts.

What is ASO keyword tracking?

ASO (App Store Optimization) keyword tracking is the practice of monitoring where your app ranks in App Store search results for specific keywords over time. By recording daily position data, you can measure the impact of metadata changes, identify ranking improvements or drops, and spot competitive threats before they affect your downloads.

How often do App Store rankings change?

App Store rankings can change multiple times per day, though most keywords see their largest shifts within a 24-hour window. High-competition keywords like 'vpn' or 'photo editor' tend to be more volatile with frequent position swaps in the top 50, while niche keywords are more stable. Daily tracking captures the most significant changes.

What causes an app to break into the top 50?

Apps typically break into the top 50 for a keyword due to one of four causes: (1) a paid acquisition burst campaign driving sudden download velocity, (2) a viral feature launch generating organic installs, (3) being featured by Apple which dramatically boosts visibility, or (4) a competitor's ranking drop creating an opening. Breakout detection flags these entries in real time so you can respond strategically.

What is a paid push signal in App Store rankings?

A paid push signal is a pattern where an app jumps from a low position (typically below rank 150) into the top 10 or 20 within a single day without gradual intermediate movement. This isolated spike is a strong indicator that a competitor is running a burst install campaign to artificially inflate their keyword ranking. Identifying these signals lets you time your own ASO response appropriately.

How do I find less competitive App Store keywords?

Finding low-competition keywords involves cross-country analysis. A keyword that is dominated by large publishers in the US market may have much weaker competition in markets like Japan, Vietnam, or Germany. Use cross-country keyword comparison to identify markets where your app can realistically rank in the top 20, then target those markets first to build ranking authority before expanding to more competitive regions.

Previewly (previewly.app) is a free iOS App Store ranking intelligence platform. It tracks keyword positions for apps across multiple countries, detects breakout apps and rapid growth signals, identifies paid push campaigns, and provides cross-country ASO analysis — all at no cost and with no account required.

Does Previewly track Android or Google Play Store rankings?

No. Previewly tracks iOS App Store rankings only. The platform monitors keyword positions in Apple's App Store across multiple country markets including the US, Japan, Vietnam, and more.

How do I track my own app's keyword rankings?
