Why it scores 50 difficulty
mise - meal planner holds the top spot with 3,157 ratings behind it. One app in the ten carries over 100,000 ratings; the rest are smaller, so the page is not uniformly defended. 5 of them sit under 10,000 ratings, so there is room on this page for an app whose listing simply matches the term better. Ratings are spread out: the top three hold only 13% of them, so no single app owns the page. 6 of the ten put the phrase in their app name. On this term the name does the work, and a listing that leaves it out is not really competing for it.

How to rank for “meal planner”: 1 lead with it, 4 put it later

At 12 characters, the phrase leaves 18 of Apple's 30 for your brand. The shortest name in the top ten that uses it — “Daily Meal Planner”, 18 characters — puts the brand first and the keyword after it.

Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“meal”, “planner”) 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 “Meal Planner & Weekly Menu” opens its name with the phrase; the other 4 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. “meal planner family” scores 33 on opportunity against this term's 29, at difficulty 29 rather than 50. 3 of the 18 related terms score higher; the other 15 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.
