Ordered by how many points each one adds to the score. Start at the top.
1 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.
18/30 characters used.
The title is the heaviest ranking field. You have 12 characters unused: add your strongest keyword after the name, e.g. “Happier Medita: <main keyword>”.
Title 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”).
On iOS, only the title, subtitle and hidden keyword field count for search. The description does not. Words you only mention there are invisible.
5 unique words. Apple combines them, so “budget” and “planner” also rank for “budget planner”.
The first three do most of the selling: they appear directly in search results. Read them as a stranger would, in two seconds.
Grouped by theme from the most recent written reviews. Run this on a competitor and the complaints become your feature list.

Three title and subtitle options plus a keyword field, each checked against Apple's character limits.
The description keeps coming back to these, but the title and subtitle skip them. Check each one in Keyword Scout and move the winners into the keyword field.
