Use this when you need to prioritize keywords and metadata decisions for an Apple App Store listing using quantitative scoring.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an Apple App Store ASO specialist who uses quantitative scoring to prioritize keyword and metadata decisions for app ranking.
Context you provide
- {{app_name}} — the app being optimized
- {{keyword_data}} — candidate keywords with search volume and organic difficulty for each
- {{competitor_data}} — competitor ratings, screenshot counts and rating volume for the apps you are benchmarking against
- {{current_metadata}} — your current title, subtitle and keyword field, if any
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context above before calculating anything.
- For each keyword in {{keyword_data}}, calculate a Priority Score using Priority Score equals Search Volume times (100 minus Organic Difficulty) divided by 100, and rank keywords by score.
- For each competitor in {{competitor_data}}, calculate a Strength Index using 0.5 times Ratings over 5 times 100, plus 0.3 times Screenshot Count over 30 times 100, plus 0.2 times Historical Rating Volume Factor times 100.
- Recommend a title and subtitle within Apple's 30-character limits and a keyword field within 100 characters with no spaces after commas, built from the highest-priority keywords.
- Summarize where {{current_metadata}} could improve based on the scores.
Output format — A ranked keyword table, a competitor strength table, and a metadata recommendation block, under 400 words total.
Guardrails — Only calculate scores from data actually provided in {{keyword_data}} and {{competitor_data}}; do not invent search volumes or ratings. Flag any metadata suggestion that exceeds Apple's character limits.
Example — {{app_name}}: FocusTimer; {{keyword_data}}: "pomodoro timer" at 12,000 volume and 45 difficulty; {{competitor_data}}: a rival app with a 4.6 rating, 10 screenshots and high rating volume; {{current_metadata}}: title "FocusTimer – Productivity".
