Competitor Tracking

竞品追踪

You set up and run ongoing competitor surveillance — catching metadata changes, keyword shifts, rating drops, and new feature launches before they impact your rankings.
你可以设置并运行持续的竞品监控——在元数据变更、关键词变动、评分下降和新功能上线影响你的排名之前及时捕捉到这些变化。

Setup: Define Your Watchlist

设置:定义你的监控清单

  1. Check for
    app-marketing-context.md
  2. Ask: Who are your top 3–5 competitors? (get App IDs if possible)
  3. Ask: How often do you want to review? (weekly recommended)
  4. Ask: What are you most concerned about? (keywords, ratings, creative, pricing)
Use Appeeky to identify competitors if unknown:
bash
GET /v1/keywords/ranks?keyword=meditation&country=us&limit=10
GET /v1/apps/:id/intelligence  # check competitors array
  1. 检查是否存在
    app-marketing-context.md
    文件
  2. 询问:你的前3-5个竞品是哪些?(如果可能,获取App ID)
  3. 询问:你希望多久查看一次监控结果?(推荐每周一次)
  4. 询问:你最关注哪些方面?(关键词、评分、创意素材、定价)
如果不清楚竞品,可以使用Appeeky来识别:
bash
GET /v1/keywords/ranks?keyword=meditation&country=us&limit=10
GET /v1/apps/:id/intelligence  # 查看竞品数组

What to Track

监控内容

Metadata Changes

元数据变更

Check weekly using Appeeky:
bash
GET /v1/apps/:id  # title, subtitle, description
Watch for:
  • Title changes — new keyword being targeted, repositioning
  • Subtitle changes — testing new hooks or keywords
  • Description changes — messaging strategy shift (Google Play especially)
  • Screenshot updates — new creative direction or A/B test winner shipped
每周使用Appeeky检查:
bash
GET /v1/apps/:id  # 标题、副标题、描述
重点关注:
  • 标题变更——新增目标关键词、重新定位
  • 副标题变更——测试新的钩子或关键词
  • 描述变更——营销策略转变(尤其在Google Play上)
  • 截图更新——采用新的创意方向或上线A/B测试获胜版本

Keyword Ranking Changes

关键词排名变化

bash
GET /v1/apps/:id/keywords  # their ranking keywords
GET /v1/keywords/ranks?keyword=[shared keyword]  # who's ranking where
Watch for:
  • Keywords they're newly ranking for (they optimized for this — should you?)
  • Keywords they dropped (opportunity to capture)
  • A competitor jumping above you for a shared keyword
bash
GET /v1/apps/:id/keywords  # 他们的排名关键词
GET /v1/keywords/ranks?keyword=[共享关键词]  # 查看排名情况
重点关注:
  • 他们新增的排名关键词(他们针对该关键词做了优化——你是否也应该跟进?)
  • 他们掉榜的关键词(这是你的机会,可以抢占该关键词)
  • 竞品在某个共享关键词上的排名超过了你

Ratings and Reviews

评分与评论

bash
GET /v1/apps/:id/reviews?sort=recent&limit=20
GET /v1/apps/:id  # current rating
Watch for:
  • Rating drop (they shipped a bad update — opportunity to highlight your stability)
  • Surge of 1-stars around a specific complaint (user pain point you could solve)
  • New positive reviews praising a feature you don't have
bash
GET /v1/apps/:id/reviews?sort=recent&limit=20
GET /v1/apps/:id  # 当前评分
重点关注:
  • 评分下降(他们上线了糟糕的更新——你可以借此突出自身稳定性)
  • 大量1星评论集中在某个问题上(这是你可以解决的用户痛点)
  • 新的好评提到了你没有的功能

Chart Positions

榜单排名

bash
GET /v1/market/movers?genre=[genre_id]&country=us
GET /v1/categories/:id/top?country=us&limit=25
Watch for:
  • A competitor entering or exiting top 10 in your category
  • New competitor entering your space from a chart rise
bash
GET /v1/market/movers?genre=[genre_id]&country=us
GET /v1/categories/:id/top?country=us&limit=25
重点关注:
  • 竞品进入或退出你的品类Top10
  • 新竞品通过榜单排名上升进入你的赛道

Pricing and Paywall

定价与付费墙

Manually check every 4–6 weeks:
  • Trial length changes
  • Price changes (lower = aggressive growth; higher = LTV optimization)
  • New paywall format or plans
每4-6周手动检查一次:
  • 试用时长变化
  • 价格变动(降价=激进增长策略;涨价=LTV优化)
  • 新的付费墙形式或套餐

Build a script that calls Appeeky weekly and diffs results:
bash
#!/bin/bash
APPS=("6759740679" "987654321" "111222333")
KEY="apk_your_key"

for APP_ID in "${APPS[@]}"; do
  echo "=== $APP_ID ==="
  curl -s "https://api.appeeky.com/v1/apps/$APP_ID" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" | jq '.data | {title, subtitle, rating, reviewCount}'
done
Store results weekly and diff with the previous week's output.
编写脚本每周调用Appeeky API并对比结果:
bash
#!/bin/bash
APPS=("6759740679" "987654321" "111222333")
KEY="apk_your_key"

for APP_ID in "${APPS[@]}"; do
  echo "=== $APP_ID ==="
  curl -s "https://api.appeeky.com/v1/apps/$APP_ID" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" | jq '.data | {title, subtitle, rating, reviewCount}'
