How to rank for “family tree”: 4 lead with it, 2 put it later
At 11 characters, the phrase leaves 19 of Apple's 30 for your brand. The shortest name in the top ten that uses it — “Family Tree*”, 12 characters — shows the pattern: the keyword first, the brand in whatever is left.
Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“family”, “tree”) can sit in different fields and still match the whole term. Each counts once across the name, subtitle and keyword field, so repeating a word you already have buys nothing and takes space another keyword could use.
4 of the ten open their name with it (“Family Tree! - Logic Puzzles” among them), while the other 2 that spell it out put it further along — the difference between the keyword being the product and being a feature.
Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “family tree builder pro” scores 36 on opportunity against this term's 27, at difficulty 21 rather than 55. 14 of the 24 related terms score higher; the other 10 score lower.
Choosing keywords you can rank for explains how the three numbers are worked out, and App Store metadata, field by field covers how to split a phrase this long across the three fields.
