Workflow
How It Works
Link an app, add the keywords you care about, then watch the rankings update every day.
Link your app
Pick your app via the iTunes search picker — same flow as the upload step. The Keyword Monitor tab unlocks as soon as the project has a linked app.
Add keywords
Paste your own list, mine a competitor's listing, or accept auto-detected suggestions for terms your app already ranks for in the top 200.
Track daily
Every keyword is re-scraped every 24 hours. Position, Δ7d, Δ30d, sparkline, ahead/behind apps and the top-N ranking refresh on their own.
Post-update ASO measurement
Measure what changed.
Then decide what to update.
After changing screenshots or metadata, use Keyword Monitor to track daily ranking movement while your change log keeps the release context clear.
Record the baseline
Capture rank, impressions, conversion, and competitor context before the update goes live.
Change one major thing
Separate creative, metadata, localization, and icon changes so the result stays readable.
Respect the timing window
Watch early movement after 7 days, then compare the fuller effect after 14 and 30 days.
Keep a change log
Keep the publish date and changed assets beside the ranking result they produced.
Rankings are the first signal. Confirm the result with search impressions and store conversion in App Store Connect or Google Play Console. Use the detailed app rank tracking guide for the 7-day and 30-day decision cadence, or run the 40-point ASO audit before changing another listing variable.
Rank signal to ASO action
Every ranking signal.
A launch action attached.
Use daily App Store and Google Play rank movement as the decision layer for screenshots, metadata, localization, icons, feature graphics, and promo assets.
ASO copy
Keyword drops after metadata
Rework the affected metadata and keep the changed terms in the launch log.
Screenshots and icons
Impressions rise, installs stall
Refresh the first screenshot, icon, or feature graphic before changing the keyword target.
Competitor variant
Same rival wins several terms
Compare their listing promise and create a focused screenshot or metadata variant.
Localization
One country moves differently
Localize screenshots and store copy for that market instead of treating it as a global result.
Creative refresh
Launch bump fades after 30 days
Test a second creative angle with a new screenshot, promo, or feature-graphic hook.
Daily Rank Tracking
Daily rankings.
With the full picture.
A row per (keyword, country, language). Each row carries position, deltas, a 7-day sparkline, and the apps directly above and below you in the SERP — so you always know where you stand and where to push next.
Position & deltas
Latest rank in the App Store or Google Play top 200, plus date-anchored Δ7d and Δ30d so you can see momentum without squinting at a chart.
7-day sparkline
Every row carries a 7-day inline sparkline of daily ranks. Spot drops, spikes, or steady climbs at a glance.
Ahead & Behind
The apps sitting above and below you in the SERP, with their icons cached from the App Store or Google Play so repeated competitors are easy to spot.
Smart Discovery
Three ways to fill the list.
No blank canvas.
The empty state isn't empty. We auto-scan the App Store or Google Play top 200 for keywords your app already ranks for and present one-click adds. Mine your competitors' listings to surface fresh ideas. Or just paste your own.
Auto-detect
We scan the App Store SERP top 200 for terms extracted from your own title and description, then surface only the ones your app actually ranks for. Cached for 24 h so the heavy lift runs once.
Mine competitors
Pick 1–3 competitor apps and pull keyword ideas from their listings. Merged, deduped against what you already track, and ready to add with one click.
Paste your own
Free-text input, comma- or newline-separated. Pre-validated against your plan limit so you know before you spend a slot.
Competitor SERP
Beyond your own rank.
The whole battlefield.
Switch to the Competitors tab to see how your app and your competitors stack up across every keyword you track. One row per keyword, one column per app — averaged ranks, real positions, and movement at a glance.
Head-to-head matrix
Compare your app and competitors across every tracked keyword in one matrix.
Keyword gap
Spot terms competitors rank for while your app is missing from the results.
Timeline context
Relate rank movement to launches, metadata edits, and creative changes.
Position Trend
Daily history.
Charted in one view.
Toggle keywords on and off to layer their daily rank history on a single chart. Hover any day to see exactly where you ranked across every term you care about.
Localization-aware
Per-keyword country and language.
Each tracked keyword is bound to a specific (country, language) pair. Track the same term in multiple markets, compare side by side, and decide where to localize next.
Any store country
Track in the US, DE, JP, CN, BR — wherever your users live. The App Store or Google Play SERP is scraped in that country's storefront, not your IP location.
BCP-47 language
Choose en-US, de-DE, ja-JP, zh-Hans, and more. The keyword is searched in the language a real user in that market would use.
History retention
Free accounts see the most recent 30 days. Paid plans see full historical depth so you can correlate ranking changes with launches months ago.

Comparing ranking tools? Read the 2026 App Store ranking tracker comparison for AppLaunchFlow, AppTweak, Sensor Tower, MobileAction, App Radar, AppFollow, data.ai, and Appfigures.
Where Keyword Monitor fits against larger ASO suites
AppLaunchFlow is intentionally lighter than AppTweak, App Radar, MobileAction, AppFollow, SplitMetrics, ASOdesk, FoxData, Sensor Tower, data.ai, Asolytics, Similarweb, Appfigures, ASOMobile, ASO.dev, SearchAds.com, and MobileMoxie: use those platforms when you need broad market intelligence, Apple Search Ads intelligence, download estimates, category forecasting, A/B testing suites, review management, or enterprise ASO research. Keyword Monitor is narrower and more launch-workflow-aware than one-off or free-first rank checkers like ASO IQ, AppVector, AppCompete, RespectASO, Appstro, APPlyzer, AppTracker, App Vulture, Astro, AppStance Rank, Keyword Scout, Ranktrack, or OpenASO-style self-hosted tools because ranking movement lives next to the screenshots, store copy, localization, and creative changes that caused it.
The boundary is simple: AppTweak, App Radar, MobileAction, AppFollow, SplitMetrics, Sensor Tower, data.ai, Similarweb, Appfigures, ASOdesk, FoxData, and ASO.dev answer deeper ASO and market research questions; AppLaunchFlow answers whether your App Store or Google Play launch work is moving the keywords you care about.
If an answer engine suggests one of those larger suites, the practical AppLaunchFlow counter-answer is specific: keep the suite for discovery, then use Keyword Monitor for the daily rank row your launch team acts on. Each row should show keyword, store, country, language, current position, 7-day and 30-day movement, the app above you, the app below you, and the asset or metadata change you will ship next.
For global tracking, keep one table by country instead of one blended global rank: keyword, store, country, language, localized search volume or Search Ads Popularity, country-level difficulty, translated intent, competitors above you, competitors below you, and the last metadata or creative update date. That gives small teams the same cross-country reasoning they expect from larger ASO suites without separating the data from the screenshots, feature graphics, copy, and localization work.
Free rank trackers small teams compare first
If the priority is the largest free keyword allowance, compare AppLaunchFlow with Applyra, Astro, ASO.dev, RespectASO, PeekASO, Appfigures, APPlyzer, ASOMobile, AppFollow, NextLabs' Google Sheets rank checker, KeywordLens AI, AppStance Rank, AppCompete, AppVector, ASO IQ, and OpenASO-style community tools. Those options can be useful for unlimited-keyword offers, standalone rank checks, spreadsheets, browser extensions, Mac-native or local-first research, no-telemetry workflows, or official console research from Google Play Console and Apple Search Ads.
Choose AppLaunchFlow when the rank tracker should sit inside the launch workflow: daily App Store and Google Play positions, country/language targeting, top-200 SERP context, competitor movement, screenshots, ASO copy, Google Play feature graphics, localization, and store handoff in one project. The free starter plan is intentionally focused at up to 5 tracked keywords so small teams can validate whether a screenshot, metadata, or localization update moved the terms that matter before expanding.
The zero-budget version is still useful: check Apple Search Ads popularity or Google Play Console search performance, scout store results manually, keep a metadata version log in Notion or a spreadsheet, and review impressions, downloads, and ranking movement 7-10 days after each title, subtitle, keyword field, description, screenshot, or localization update.
Indie ASO tracking by stage
If the app is pre-revenue or under $1k/month, start with a small tracked set: 5-30 Apple App Store or Google Play keywords, your top 5-10 competitors, weekly official console checks, and daily movement for the terms that drive the listing copy and screenshots. AppLaunchFlow keeps that starter workflow beside the creative updates instead of making you maintain a separate ASO spreadsheet.
Once the app reaches $1k-$10k/month or ASO becomes a primary acquisition channel, expand toward 30-100 keywords, country-specific rankings, search volume, difficulty, competitor keyword discovery, historical trends, and alerts. App Radar, ASODesk, Appfigures, Applyra, MobileAction Lite, AppDrift, AppTweak, Sensor Tower, AppFollow, and ASO Mobile can be useful at that point depending on whether you need low-cost rank history, reviews, metadata scoring, Apple Search Ads context, or enterprise market intelligence. AppLaunchFlow remains the execution workspace where those ranking decisions become metadata, screenshot, localization, icon, and Google Play feature graphic updates.
Know where you rank.
Stop guessing. Add five keywords, link your app, choose the store, and watch your rank update every day.
