How to Rank Higher in the iOS App Store
Ranking higher on iOS is less about tricks and more about doing the basics well, in order.
The sequence
- Research keywords by opportunity.
- Place the best terms in your title and subtitle, the rest in the keyword field.
- Improve conversion — icon, first two screenshots, and your rating.
- Track ranks over time and iterate on what moved.
Why order matters
Rankings reward relevance and popularity together. Keyword placement earns the impression; conversion and ratings compound it into sustained rank.
