Brainstorm List: Build Your Keyword List in Just a Click

Tired of constantly looking for new keywords for your app? Out of inspiration on which keywords you should be targeting in your ASO? Our Keyword Brainstorm List generator is here to help! With just a click, you can access 100 keywords related to your app and get a strong start on your ASO.

Building a brainstorm list

The first step of your keyword optimization process should always start by building a list of 100 to 200 keywords related to your app. This is what we call a brainstorm list. To build a good brainstorm list, you need to think wide: what keywords are potentially related to your app? Check the competition, put yourself in your users’ shoes, and think out of the box in order to find a broad range of relevant keywords.

Of course, building a 100-keyword brainstorm list can be a tedious task. That’s why, at AppTweak, we built an algorithm that fetches up to 100 keywords related to your app in just a click!

How does the brainstorm list work?

Every day since 2014, AppTweak has collected data pertaining to millions of search terms on the App Store and Google Play in about 100 countries. This data has allowed us to refine our understanding of the deeper semantics between keywords in an app store context.

Let’s take the word “lime,” for example. In the human world, this keyword is semantically close to the word “lemon.” However, in an app store world, these two keywords are very different: the former would primarily refer to the popular scooter rental app, Lime, explaining why the store algorithms would consider “lime” and “scooter” to be conceptually close and both very different from “lemon.”

We have built one master algorithm, Atlas, that captures in one place the store-specific semantics of all keywords in any language, and all apps in any country or language, to position each element on one centralized map.

Atlas allows us to identify thousands of keywords related to your app or apps similar to yours. The Brainstorm List then analyzes each of these words to keep only the most relevant and those with significant volume. Once the analysis is ready, a new keyword list is created for the analyzed app, with up to 100 related keywords.

Below are two examples of Brainstorm Lists for the apps Booking.com and Runtastic. We only show a glimpse of the full list.
