Getting started with Keyword Intelligence

Keyword Intelligence helps you organize App Store keyword research around an app, storefront, language, and device. Start by choosing the context you want to study, then check the evidence and availability shown in the dashboard.

Current availability

As of September 19, 2026, Keyword Intelligence is in a private preview. Paid checkout is not active. The dashboard currently reports that scoring models await publication and organic rank collection awaits App Store validation. Apple catalog research and an optional App Store Connect metadata connection are available separately.

A visible research page does not mean that every score, ranking, or history series is available. Check Data and model status before interpreting results.

Your first steps

1. Open the Keyword Intelligence dashboard and sign in with an account that has access.

2. Open Settings. Optionally connect App Store Connect to import your apps and listing metadata, or use Add an app manually for a manual research context.

3. Choose your apps, then open Apps to review their available listing information.

4. Open Keyword explorer. Enter a keyword and select its storefront, keyword language, device, and optional app.

5. Choose Analyze keyword. Review any availability messages before interpreting the results.

Do I need App Store Connect?

No. The connection is optional. It supplies your accessible app catalog and localized listing metadata. It does not unlock Apple search popularity, validate organic rankings, or import App Store Connect analytics.

How does this relate to ASO Signals?

Keyword Intelligence focuses on keyword research and market evidence. ASO Signals has a separate ASO workflow and its own Apple connection. Follow Keyword Intelligence setup instructions here; ASO Signals analytics setup and permissions are not required for this metadata connection.
