App Store Keyword Rank Tracker

Track where your iOS app ranks in Apple App Store search for any keyword — and see the top competing apps for every term. Built to run on a schedule for a daily ranking history.

What you get

For every keyword you track, one row containing:

• Your rank — the position your app holds in App Store search results for that keyword (or "not found" if it ranks beyond your chosen search depth)
• Your app's full listing as it appears for that keyword — title, developer, rating, rating count, price, and icon
• Top competitors — the highest-ranking apps for the keyword, each with rank, App Store ID, title, developer, rating, rating count, price, store URL, and icon
• A timestamp on every row, so scheduled runs build a clean rank-over-time history
• Total results found and the search depth used

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets — or run on a schedule and append to the same dataset for a time series.

Use cases

• App Store Optimization (ASO) — measure how keyword changes move your ranking over time
• Keyword strategy — find which terms you already rank for and which you don't
• Competitor monitoring — see exactly which apps outrank you for your most valuable keywords
• Release impact tracking — schedule daily runs and watch how each update shifts your positions
• Agency reporting — pull client ranking snapshots for any country on demand

How to use

1. Add your Keywords — one search term per line
2. Enter the App to track — your app's Apple App Store numeric ID (e.g. 571800810) or bundle ID (e.g. com.calm.app)
3. Set the Country storefront (two-letter code, default us)
4. Choose the App type — iPhone, iPad, or Mac apps
5. Set Search depth (how deep to look, max 200) and Top competitors to capture
6. Run the actor — one row per keyword in the Dataset tab

Build a ranking history

Set this actor on an Apify Schedule (e.g. once a day) and let it append to the same dataset. Each run stamps every row with checkedAt, so you get a daily time series of your rankings and your competitors' — the foundation of any ASO dashboard.

Finding your App Store ID

Open your app's App Store page; the number after id in the URL is your App Store ID — e.g. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calm/id571800810 → 571800810. You can also use your bundle ID.

Notes

• Rankings reflect Apple's App Store search relevance order for each keyword and storefront. They closely track what users see in the App Store and are ideal for monitoring movement over time.
• If your app ranks beyond the Search depth, rank is reported as null and found as false — raise the depth (up to 200) to look deeper.
• One result row is produced per keyword, so a run checking 50 keyword × storefront combinations is fast and inexpensive.
