I may need the advice of an apple expert. I published an app to the App Store and as you might now you have a “keyword” field where you input several keywords (max. 100 chars). The Apple documentation says “don’t use spaces between keywords and separate them with a comma”. So I did exactly that. But for unknown reasons my app is not ranking at all for the provided keywords BUT it ranks quite high if I search for the keyword and add a comma at the end.
My input looks like:
keyword1,second keyword,keyword3,keyword4…
So for example: If I search for “keyword1” in the App Store, my app does not show up at all, also when scrolling down to the very bottom of the list.
On the other hand, when I search for “keyword1,” (note the trailing comma) it ranks quite high.
And this looks definitely wrong to me. The comma is just used as separator of the keywords and not part of the keyword itself. Am I doing something wrong? I also tried to check if there were special characters pasted by mistake but does not look like that.
Any help would be much appreciated, really struggling with this. Thanks a lot.
