Limitations

Always include this section:

What this audit cannot measure without paid ASO tools:

• Exact keyword search volume and difficulty scores
• Historical keyword ranking positions
• Download and revenue estimates
• Apple keyword field contents (hidden from public view)
• Install conversion rate data (only available to app owner in console)
• A/B test results from previous experiments

For these data points, consider using AppTweak ($69/mo), Sensor Tower, or MobileAction ($69/mo).
