Why it scores 63 difficulty
Goodnotes: AI Notes, Docs, PDF holds the top spot with 460,106 ratings behind it. 3 apps in the ten carry over 100,000 ratings; the rest are smaller, so the page is not uniformly defended. Ratings are spread out: the top three hold only 41% of them, so no single app owns the page. Only 1 of the ten carries the phrase in the app name, so the store is matching most of them on their subtitle and keyword field instead — which is where a smaller app can compete without renaming itself.

How to rank for “note taking”: no top app spells it out yet

At 11 characters it fits an app name with 19 to spare, yet none of the top ten spells it out in the name (1 carries its words apart). They rank on their subtitle, keyword field or sheer size, which leaves the name slot open to whoever claims it.

Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“note”, “taking”) 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.

Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “note taking quick” scores 36 on opportunity against this term's 17, at difficulty 26 rather than 63. 13 of the 15 related terms score higher; the other 2 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.
