Track Apple App Store Keyword Rankings in Google Sheets

Track Apple App Store Keyword Rankings in Google Sheets—Automatically

This n8n workflow checks your Apple App Store keyword rankings every day (or on-demand) and logs each keyword’s position in a Google Sheets tab for ongoing ASO tracking—using SerpApi.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a schedule or manually: Use the daily trigger for regular updates, or run it via a manual trigger to test changes.
• Loads your keyword list and settings: In-workflow configuration provides SerpApi API keys, your Apple App Store app ID, locale/storefront, Google Sheets IDs, enabled keyword groups, and a result limit.
• Processes keywords one by one: Each keyword is queried individually, with a 1-second wait between requests to help reduce rate limit risk.
• Queries SerpApi for Apple App Store search results: For each keyword, the workflow requests up to the configured number of results from the SerpApi Apple App Store Search API.
• Finds your app’s rank: It parses the organic results to match your configured App Store app ID and records the app’s position. If your app isn’t found (or if SerpApi errors), it logs values such as >N or ERROR.
• Appends results to Google Sheets: One row per keyword is added with keyword, group, position, apps (results count), and date to the position tab.

Use cases

• ASO managers monitoring daily performance for keyword groups across multiple locales.
• SaaS operators tracking app visibility trends and catching ranking drops early.
• Automation engineers building reliable, repeatable keyword ranking dashboards in Google Sheets.
