Indexedtitle + subtitle
4 unique words. Apple combines them, so “budget” and “planner” also rank for “budget planner”.

Metadata Studio checks character limits, wasted words and keyword coverage as you type.
Audit of the public listing as of today. The hidden 100-character keyword field cannot be read from outside App Store Connect, so it is not scored.
