Last 30 days: organic search, browsing the store, features and paid ads.

Hidden keywords
YouTube shows up in App Store search (US) for 16 words that appear nowhere in its name, subtitle or developer name, so they are almost certainly in its private keyword field, and it ranks in the top 10 for at least one of them.
Where it ranks now
Both stores, across every country we track.
