aso: competitors, suggest and audit from official data; ASO card on the Growth tab
- aso competitors: top apps per keyword from the iTunes Search API (name, developer, rating count, release / update dates, localized genre), coverage gaps (words of 2+ developers), new entrants vs the last snapshot (.storebound/aso/competitors/) - aso suggest: candidates from own text, competitor names, localized category names and Apple Ads keyword suggestions (POST /v1/suggestions/keywords/query, relative 0-100 popularity, only with credentials); 100-byte keyword field per locale as a diff, --write marks it a draft that check --aso and aso audit report - aso audit: check --aso, free keyword room, rank trend arrows, gaps, Play short description / density, App Store conversion, PPO / Play experiment ideas, next 3 actions - MCP: read-only aso_competitors, aso_suggest, aso_audit; desktop ASO card (visx rank chart) - docs: README, aso-basics, store-pitfalls (Search API order, no Play search API), CHANGELOG; demo-app listing files; tests on recorded Search API and mocked Ads answers

# Store pitfalls

|

- **Do:** run `scan` from the project root; check that the stack line lists the plugins.
|
||||
- **Guard:** `storebound scan` and `privacy-manifest` resolve packages through workspace folders too.
|
||||
|
||||
## 9. "We rank #4 for this keyword" (from the Search API)
|
||||
- **Symptom:** `aso rank` says #4, the owner's phone shows the app lower (or higher) in App Store search.
|
||||
- **Cause:** the iTunes Search API order is close to, not equal to, App Store search: no personalisation, no search
|
||||
ads, no in-app event rows. It has no subtitle field either.
|
||||
- **Do:** read ranks as a trend over weeks (`aso audit` arrows), never as a promise; never claim a competitor's
|
||||
subtitle (no public API has it); a popularity number exists only from Apple Ads, never estimate one.
|
||||
- **Guard:** `aso rank`, `aso competitors` and `aso audit` say it in their output; `aso suggest` shows popularity
|
||||
"unknown" without Apple Ads credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
## 10. "Check our Google Play keyword ranks"
|
||||
- **Symptom:** the owner asks for Play ranks or Play competitors per keyword.
|
||||
- **Cause:** Google Play has no public search API; reading Play search pages would be scraping.
|
||||
- **Do:** say so. Measure Play through the Play Console acquisition reports (search terms) and `analytics snapshot`
|
||||
(store listing visitors, acquisitions); improve the listing text with `aso audit` (short description, density).
|
||||
- **Guard:** `aso` covers App Store search only; the aso-basics skill states the limit.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding a lesson
|
||||
Every bug found in real use gets an entry in `docs/pitfalls.md` and here, and, where possible, a check or a test
|
||||
that fails without the fix (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
