The guide
What the play store keyword research tool does, how to use it, and what to do with the result.
This Google Play Store keyword research tool shows the phrases people type into Play Store search, with monthly search volume and trend for each, so you can choose the keywords that will bring installs. Enter a seed such as the job your app does, pick a country, and you get up to hundreds of real Play Store suggestions to build your listing around.
How to Find Google Play Store Keywords
Start with the problem your app solves in the words a user would use, not your feature names: "budget planner" rather than "expense module". The tool returns Play Store autocomplete suggestions for that seed, which are real searches, with volume where it is available. Repeat for two or three seeds, then shortlist phrases that match what your app genuinely does.
Free Google Play Keyword Research: What You See Without Paying
Enter a seed on this page and you see the top 10 Play Store searches for it, ranked by monthly volume, with no account and no card, for up to five seeds a day. That is often enough to pick an app title keyword. A free Brainito account adds 20 credits, enough for four full searches at 5 credits each, and a full search returns every Play Store suggestion for the seed with volume, trend and CPC where available.
Reading Search Volume and Trend
Volume tells you how many people search a phrase each month; trend shows whether that demand is growing, flat or seasonal. A smaller, growing keyword your app matches exactly often beats a huge generic one dominated by the biggest apps. Use the trend to time updates around seasonal demand, such as fitness apps in January.
Google Play vs App Store Keywords
The two stores read keywords differently, so the same research leads to different listings. Google Play has no keyword field: it reads your title, short description and full description, so keywords have to appear in text people read. Apple's App Store reads the app name, the subtitle and a hidden 100-character keyword field, and not the description. If your app is on both, research each store with its own tool, because iPhone and Android users often phrase the same need differently; the App Store keyword research tool covers Apple's side.
Where Keywords Go in a Play Store Listing
Google Play indexes your app title (up to 30 characters), short description (up to 80 characters) and full description (up to 4,000 characters). Put your most important keyword in the title, a second in the short description, and use the rest naturally in the full description. Google Play warns against keyword stuffing, so write for people first.
ASO Beyond Keywords
Keywords get you shown; your icon, screenshots, ratings and install rate decide whether you rank and get chosen. Refresh screenshots to show the main benefit in the first two images, reply to reviews, and fix crashes, since quality signals feed Play Store ranking.
Research Each Market Separately
Play Store searches differ by country and language. Choose the country in the tool to see each market's real phrases, and localise your title and descriptions rather than translating them word for word.

How do I check Google Play keyword search volume?
Enter a seed keyword and a country. The tool lists Play Store search suggestions with monthly volume and trend where available, so you can compare phrases before you change your listing.
Where should keywords go in a Google Play listing?
In the app title (30 characters), the short description (80 characters) and naturally through the full description (4,000 characters). Put the most important keyword in the title.
How does the Play Store keyword research tool work?
Type any seed keyword and Brainito pulls real Play Store suggestions, the phrases Android users type in search. Each one includes search volume, trend direction, and CPC where available, so you can judge demand at a glance.
Can this tool help with Android ASO?
Yes. App store optimization starts with knowing what users search for. Use high volume, rising keywords in your app title, short description, and long description to improve your ranking in Play Store search results in 2026.
Is Brainito's Play Store keyword tool free?
You can preview the top 10 Play Store keywords for any seed on this page free, with no account, up to five seeds a day. A free Brainito account adds 20 credits, and each full search costs 5 credits, so you get Play Store suggestions with volumes, trends, and CPC without paying for a heavy ASO suite.
Does it work for the Apple App Store too?
This tool covers Google Play. The App Store works differently (a hidden 100-character keyword field, and the description is not indexed), so use Brainito's App Store keyword research tool for iPhone apps and research each store separately.
