Got my app ranking first even though 20 other apps with the same name exist, kinda crazy :)

So I built this app which lets you extract places from reels and build collections kind of stuff

I was trying to get the ASO working and there's a bunch of these apps but my literally started ranking above all of them really quickly

(Not for all countries tho i think)

But yeah it was pretty good to see it rank on tap :) I think reviews matter a lot for this as well

Key Insights

1

User reviews appear to be a significant ranking factor for competitive keywords with multiple apps sharing similar names

2

ASO strategy can help apps rank above competitors even in highly saturated keyword spaces

3

Geographic ranking variations exist - ranking position may differ significantly across countries for the same app
