Read the ranking chart
The Y axis is reversed, so position 1 is at the top and a rising line is an improvement.
A gap is never zero. See Positions and rank depth for why treating it as zero inverts every trend.
Use the range picker to change the window. Dates are UTC, so a chart point labelled with a date is the observation for that UTC day.
Inspect a SERP snapshot
For every tracked keyword and day, asobeast keeps the top 10 search results with the app, its position and the listing signals the store returned. That snapshot is what makes the rest of the page possible.
Google Play search results carry no rating counts, so the rating columns stay empty for Google Play keywords. That is a store limitation rather than a missing sync.
SERP entries are pruned on
RETENTION_SERP_DAYS, which defaults to 90 days.
Understand volatility
Volatility scores how much a keyword’s top 10 changes membership, on a 0 to 100 scale. asobeast averages the difference between consecutive observed days over an eight day window, so 0 means the same ten apps every day and 100 means a completely different ten each day. It measures which apps are present rather than the order they sit in, so a top 10 that reorders without anyone entering or leaving scores 0. High volatility means the result page turns over on its own, which makes a single day’s change weak evidence. The Action Center uses this directly. A volatile keyword damps rules that would otherwise fire on a one day movement, andserp.hold_volatile tells you when that happened. See Work the Action Center.
Discover competitors from a SERP
Any app in a stored SERP snapshot can be added as a competitor in one step, which is usually a better starting list than guessing. See Track competitors.Troubleshooting
- The chart is empty for a new keyword. No daily run has covered it yet.
- A line stops and restarts. The app left and re entered the captured depth. The gap is real data.
- Volatility is missing. It needs several observed days in the window. A keyword added yesterday has none.
