How to rank for “weather”: one app is named exactly that
“weather” is 7 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 23 characters they kept for a brand, which is the trade this term comes down to.
It is a single word, so the choice is simple: Apple counts it once across the name, subtitle and keyword field. Put it in the strongest field you can spare, because saying it twice adds nothing.
5 of the ten open their name with it (“Weather” among them), while the other 5 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. “weather wise free” scores 28 on opportunity against this term's 7, at difficulty 44 rather than 90. 23 of the 24 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 which field a single word is worth.
