Public App Store listing example, not an endorsement.

Proof media system

Every free tool starts from store evidence, not a generic AI promise.

AppTide output preview

Output must be visible before users scroll.

The visual system pairs source badges, example listings, result frames, and crawlable transcript text so the page explains input, evidence, and next action.

Live now

Use the tools that already have a complete public workflow.

Only index tools with real utility and unique page content. Future tools stay in the product workflow until they are strong enough for their own SEO page.

Tool roadmap

The URL system is ready before the tool matrix gets crowded.

These tools should get their own /free-tools/{slug} pages only after they have a complete public workflow, unique copy, and a clear next action.

Keyword Inspector

Inspect traffic, difficulty, ranking apps, repeated words, and opportunity signals for one keyword.

Competitor Analysis

Compare one app against rivals and see where keyword or listing pressure is coming from.

Planned

Niche Analysis

Turn a broad topic into app niche clusters with traffic, difficulty, competitors, and market gaps.

Planned

Keyword Rank Tracker

Monitor app rank movement across store, country, language, and tracked keywords.

AI ASO Action Generator

Convert audit, keyword, and rival evidence into one listing update recommendation.

URL rules

One folder. One canonical. No thin tool pages.

Every indexable free tool should live under /free-tools, use lowercase hyphenated slugs, and have a self-referencing canonical URL.

Query-based tool results stay out of the sitemap unless they become unique evergreen pages with real explanatory content and a stable URL.

Start with one app

Run the audit before adding more tools.

The fastest path is still one app, one score, one keyword, one rival pressure check, and one ASO action.
