With Sensor Tower’s App Intelligence and Usage Intelligence products, you can find apps your targeted users are engaging with and discover keyword ideas from these relevant apps. These keywords will be terms your targeted users are most likely searching for in the App Stores.

With this help document, you’ll learn how to utilize our App Overlap feature to find apps that your users are more likely to use. With Keyword Spy you can find the keywords these apps are currently ranking for in the App Stores. These apps will not be direct competitors, but apps whose users are more likely to use your app than the average user. Targeting these keywords will ensure a high-quality user-base because these terms are typically displayed to users who are more likely to engage with your app.

Finding Related Apps

In App Overlap, you can view the specific apps whose users are more likely to use your app and which apps your users are more likely to use in conjunction with your app. With this data, you can analyze where your app's user-base spends their time and which apps your targeted users are currently utilizing.

To find the relevant apps for Pinterest’s users, follow the steps below. *Note: You can view any App in App Overlap using these steps.

1. Go to App Overlap within Usage Intelligence.
2. Enter Pinterest in the search bar.
3. Make certain All Categories is selected in the Category filter and Other Apps is toggled on under Users Of. *Note: You can select a specific Category relevant to your app

You will now be able to see the apps whose users are more likely to use Pinterest. This feature gives Pinterest an idea of where to target ASO campaigns because these users are more likely to use Pinterest than the typical user. For example, Fitbit users are 27 percentage points (p.p.) higher than the average person to use the Pinterest app. Indicating that Pinterest can target Fitbit’s users because a Fitbit user is 27 p.p. more likely to use Pinterest than the average user.

Discovering New Keywords

With Keyword Spy, you can view all the keywords a selected app is currently ranking for side-to-side to your own app’s keywords. Keyword Spy helps you evaluate keywords and keyword selection strategies from any app in the App Stores.
