14 days of App Store readings: Apple now suggests it sooner
Median ratings of the ten apps ranking for it. The line is scaled to its own range, so go by the figures: down 45%, so smaller apps are getting in and the page is getting easier.
Read from the App Store once a day and kept, not modelled. The popularity score above is our estimate of demand; this is the store's own answer, unedited.
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.
Two similar keywords, then other niches
Every keyword with its own page is listed on the keyword index, each read the same way.
