Ask for the **App ID** (Apple numeric ID or Google Play package name) 3. Ask for the **target country** (default: US) 4. Ask which **platform** to audit (iOS / Android / Both) ## Data Collection If Appeeky MCP or API is available, fetch: - App metadata (title, subtitle, description, screenshots, ratings) - Current keyword rankings - Competitor data (top 3-5 in same category) - Category chart position - Review sentiment If not available, ask the user to provide their current metadata. ## Audit Framework Score each factor on a 0-10 scale.
