Three tactics straight from past issues

Your title's first 3 words carry the most ranking weight

Both stores weigh early title tokens more heavily. Put your single highest-volume keyword phrase right after your brand name — “Brand: Habit Tracker” beats “Brand — The Best Way to Build Habits” for the keyword that actually matters.

The iOS localization trick that triples your keyword space

Apple indexes keywords from certain additional localizations for the same storefront. Adding English (UK) and Spanish (Mexico) localizations to a US listing gives you two extra 100-character keyword fields that count in US search — 300 indexed characters instead of 100.

Rank #11-30? Those are your money keywords

Keywords just off page one are your highest-ROI targets — you're already indexed, so a small metadata push or velocity bump can move you into the visible zone. Check which of your keywords sit at 11-30 and give them title/subtitle placement before chasing brand-new terms.
