How to rank for “hurricane tracker”: one app is named exactly that
“hurricane tracker” is 17 characters and one app in the ten is called exactly that and nothing else — the whole name spent on the phrase. Everyone else is paying for the 13 characters they kept for a brand, which is the trade this term comes down to.
Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“hurricane”, “tracker”) 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.
Only “Hurricane Tracker” opens its name with the phrase; the other 3 that spell it out put it later in the name, where it counts for less.
Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “wsvn hurricane tracker” scores 35 on opportunity against this term's 23, at difficulty 34 rather than 60. 6 of the 7 related terms score higher; the other 1 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.
