# App Store Keyword Coverage Checker: Can You Rank for a Term?

Source: https://asostudio.app/tools/keyword-coverage

Paste your title, subtitle and keyword field, type any search term, and see whether Apple can index your app for it, word by word. Free, no sign-up.

## What it does

Type any search term and see whether your listing can rank for it, word by word.

It runs in the browser. Nothing typed into it is uploaded, so a model cannot run it: the rules it applies are below, and they are the answer to the question the page is for.

## The rules it applies

- Apple builds one pool from the words in the title, subtitle and keyword field.
- A search term is coverable when every one of its words is somewhere in that pool, in any order, in any field.
- Word order does not matter, and neither does which field a word came from.
- Close plural forms count as the same word, so a listing with "movie" covers "movies".
- Covered means eligible to be indexed, never that the listing will rank: where it lands depends on the competition for the term.
- Nothing typed into the tool leaves the browser.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does the App Store match my app to a search term?
By words, not phrases: a term matches when every one of its words is somewhere in your listing. Apple builds a pool from the words in your title, subtitle and keyword field, and a search term is coverable when all of its words are in that pool, in any order, in any field. "Movie picker" can rank a listing whose title says "picker" and whose keyword field says "movie".

### Does word order matter?
No. Apple combines words across your whole listing regardless of order or field, which is why the tool checks each word of the term separately instead of looking for the exact phrase.

### Covered means I will rank for the term, right?
Covered means you are eligible: Apple can index you for the term. Where you land in the results depends on how strong your app is against everyone else indexed for it, which is what demand and difficulty scoring in ASO Studio measures.
