Keywords & ranks
Rank for the words people actually type.
Attribura checks where your app sits for every term you track, on every storefront, every night. Search popularity comes straight from Apple's own index, and every column tells you whose number it is.

Nobody can tell you where they rank.
Ask a founder where their app sits for its best keyword and you get a shrug, or a screenshot from three weeks ago. Apple publishes no ranking API, so the answer ends up in a spreadsheet somebody updates by hand, on the days they remember, for the two terms they happened to care about.
Meanwhile the hundred characters in your keyword field are the cheapest ground you own, and half of them are usually dead. A plural you already covered with its singular. A word your category hands you free. A term nobody searches, sitting next to one you were never going to win.
How the ranks get checked.
Point it at your app
Paste an App Store Connect key. Attribura reads your listing, your storefronts and every language you ship back out of Apple.
Track the terms that matter
Add them by hand, paste a list, or take the ones already working for the apps that outrank you.
Read it in the morning
Every term, on every storefront, checked overnight. You watch the climb, and you catch the slip the day it happens instead of the month after.
What you get to see.
Where you actually sit
A position per term, per country, so a good week in Brazil stops hiding inside a flat worldwide average.
Who already owns the word
The apps holding the leading slots, with their real store icons. You see what you are walking into before you spend a month on it.
Which of your words are dead
Your keyword field graded one word at a time — the ones earning their place, and the ones burning characters you could spend elsewhere.
The specifics
- Refresh
- Every tracked term, on every storefront you track, checked overnight.
- Search popularity
- Apple's own number on a 0–100 scale. Under Apple's reporting floor it says so rather than printing a zero.
- Difficulty, relevance
- Attribura's estimates, labelled as estimates. Apple publishes neither.
- Position
- Derived from Apple's public Search API — close to the store ranking, not the personalised one, and marked approximate.
- Storefronts
- Every storefront your app is live in, each with its own ranks and its own popularity.
- Tracked terms
- 100 on Founder, 500 on Studio.
Questions people ask.
Does Apple have a keyword ranking API?
No. Apple publishes search popularity through Apple Ads and nothing at all about where an app ranks. Positions in Attribura come from Apple's public Search API, which is the list a shopper sees before personalisation. It is close, it is checked nightly, and the column says approximate so you never mistake it for a promise.
Where does search popularity come from?
Apple. It is the same 0-to-100 scale the Apple Ads planner shows, so it is a measurement rather than a guess dressed up as one. When a term sits under Apple's reporting floor, Attribura shows the floor and says so — 'under the threshold' and 'nobody searches this' are different facts, and only one of them should stop you.
Is difficulty a real Apple metric?
No, and the column tells you. Apple publishes no difficulty score, so that number is ours: how locked the leading slots look given who is holding them. Relevance is ours too. Popularity is Apple's. Every column names its owner, which is the reason you can trust the two that are estimates.
Can I track more than one country?
Yes, and you should. Ranks are per storefront, because a term that is wide open in Brazil can be locked in the United States, and one blended number hides exactly the opening you were looking for.
What does it do with my keyword field?
Apple gives you a hundred characters and charges you for every one. Attribura reads yours and marks the words wasting them: a plural already covered by its singular, a repeat, a word your category gives you free. Then it grades each remaining word by whether anybody searches it and whether you can win it.
Do I need an App Store Connect key?
For keyword ranks, yes — the key is how Attribura knows which app, which storefronts and which languages. It takes a few minutes to create in App Store Connect, and the panel walks you through it. Everything else in Attribura works without one.
