The problem it solves

You want to know how your app is performing in search results and whether your rating is holding steady, but checking the Play Store by hand for every keyword is slow and easy to forget. Trends slip by unnoticed until it's a problem.

Who it fits

App developers or marketing teams tracking app store search performance.

How it works

  1. Every day at a set time, the automation runs through your list of keywords and app titles
  2. It searches the Google Play Store for each app's ranking position and average rating
  3. Results are logged to a running history sheet
  4. A dashboard sheet is updated with the latest results
What you get

Rank trends tracked before you have to ask

Keep a daily record of your app's Google Play ranking and rating without checking manually.

What you get

A history log and a dashboard of your app's Play Store rank and rating over time.

What you need

A SerpApi account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
