How can Keyword Monitor benefit you?
Thanks to accurate data on the potential traffic volume, complexity, and effectiveness for each query, as well as user-friendly tools (the ability to group queries, unload data from the system, and update information instantly), you can not only monitor the app position in the search results but also create an efficient textual ASO and conduct regular metadata iterations.
This is where you will form your semantic core by adding keywords from other tools.

Very high: highest effectiveness for your app.
