The 6 fixes worth the most altitude
Ordered by how many points each one adds to the score. Start at the top.
- 1+7
Title: uses the 30 characters
Fix9/30 characters used.
The title is the heaviest ranking field. You have 21 characters unused: add your strongest keyword after the name, e.g. “First Bus: <main keyword>”.
- 2+5
Reach: localised listing
Fix1 language.
Each localisation adds a new title, subtitle and 100-character keyword field. Even without translating the app, localise the listing for ES, DE, FR, PT-BR and JA.
- 3+3
Title: carries a keyword, not only a brand
ImproveTitle is the name alone.
Nobody searches for a name they have never heard of. Append what the app does in the words people type (“Habit Tracker”, “Budget Planner”).

What Apple indexes, and what it ignores
On iOS, only the title, subtitle and hidden keyword field count for search. The description does not. Words you only mention there are invisible.
Indexedtitle + subtitle
5 unique words. Apple combines them, so “budget” and “planner” also rank for “budget planner”.

Ready to rewrite the listing?
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.
