Five days ago, my app was published by Google. With direct link everything works fine, but if I search the app with the exact title, the app is not shown in the results, not even if I scroll all the way down. It's not an app compatibility issue with my devices, it cannot be found as well on anonymous browser sessions.
Few month ago, I developed a similar app, which can be found nicely. I double checked everything, they are almost the same. I have no idea why my new app is not shown in results and there is no Google contact I could ask this.
Works fine if you search for "Bitcoin Node Observer" at this
link
Not listed in result search for "Bitcoin Address Observer"at this
link
Any help appreciated. Thank you!
Did you try searching it by it's app package name?
I have checked the given links and both of those lead to different apps from the same publisher
Seems like you have published the app recently, it generally takes 4-8 days for the app to be indexed.
Try using better SEO for the app to be listed better.
Refer this link for more about app indexing.
It's listed now... 8 days later.

I uploaded my app to PlayMarket a week ago, but it still can be found by name only. My app about cocktails and drinking. I trying to find it with many keywords like "cocktail", "alcohol", "spirit", "drink", but it never been found. All these words are present in the description of the application. PlayMarket founds apps about drinks and cocktails, but not mine one.
When I putting App name in search box - application is displayed in the results. Alone.
What is more - my app don't have any "similar apps", although there are any.
Why it happening? And what can I do to solve this problem?
Excuse me for my bad english and thanks for answers!
Here is some info on how to help optimize your listing for the search engine. I believe the reason why your app does not show when searching for those keywords is because all the other apps have such a higher weight/rank, which subsequently pushes your app further in the search results listing. This is probably the case if you can find your app with those keywords after scrolling through several pages. Also, I believe the "similar apps" is determined, not by keywords, but by users and what other applications they have viewed/downloaded as well as the genre/category of the listing. As far as what you can do, I think the best option would be to market it on your own. With more reviews and downloads, it will rise up in the search ranks.
You are definitely not right, this is easiest answer I got the same answer from google. First of all I'm not sure but I think google can put some kinda app ban, basically you have app in google play market but nobody can find it.
Now let's look deeper, I have experience with this, I got 3 apps terminated and one time account ban falcely, so basically I wake up and I didn't not see any apps by keywords on night I got termination, so google puts automatically some ban and then bands really later.
I had dating app, I got 100 000 downloads 500+ reviews I ranked it and then google terminated it, in my opinion falsely but they saying their story.
So I reuploaded agan my app and started from nothing whit my sistem, after 3 days ago I got to 22 place whit my keywords I whose very happy, so next day I didn't saw my app anivere, so now it is 143 place in socal apps but it is still not ranked by keyword and there is not similar apps in right side just waiting and hoping it will sort out but I thing nothing will sort out because google is not happy when you are not paing to adwords and ranking by some systems, why google's no1 enemy is seo? Because google lose money by it, the same is here.
I'm in the same boat. My app was in the top 5 search results for specific keywords over 2 months. Suddenly my revenue dropped and I didn't know why. One month after this drop I realized that my app isn't listed when searching for these keywords I was listed before. I contacted a google employee and he told me that my store listing or my app content is marked as inappropriate to child under 10. So my app is rated for an age of 12 in my distribution countries. I included some jokes with rude humour and this is why my app must be for an audience older than 12. So now I'm fighting to get my app back to the charts when searching the keywords. I change the short description, the longer description and even the rude jokes in the app. Nothing! I asked the google employee for more information as it is important for me as I must feed some mouths. Only answer that I'm getting is always the same robot like answer: Your app is marked inappropriate... As I'm a developer willing to change everything so my app comes up in the search results again I'm really disapointed by the developer support. I know the AdWords support which is really great but if you are a developer you're lost with yourself.
I can imagine that your app contains some words the crawler does not like and so you are never going to be listed...
It would have been enough when google just sends out a message to those whose app is marked as inappropriate so they can change something but google just is doing this process silently.
If you have any news on your issue please give me an update as I also want to solve this matter.
Perhaps my answer got you in the right direction so you can also "try" to do something even if you don't really know what to do.
Google automatically picks up keyword from your title and app description. However, adding something like Keywords: keyword1, keyword2, keyword3 to your description is considered keyword spamming by Google, especially if you add the title, or the developer name of a competing app. Instead, try to include your keywords in the description in a natural manner.
I released my first android app yesterday, and got the direct link to the app working after 6 hours. But Its been > 24 hours now, and it still doesnt show up in the search on playstore.
I have been searching in the playstore both from my android device, as well as from desktop browser. The app simply isnt there.
Is this common? Is there something I can do to check the status/find out whats happening?
Thanks a lot
EDIT: the direct link is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidinput
EDIT: The issue was indeed that the name "Droid Input" was too general. Changed it to Moused . Hopefully it makes it a tad better once the update is pushed to prod. Thanks for all your help!
Sometimes newly published apps take time until they appear in search results. The app needs to be indexed in the Play Store before it starts appearing in search results. Also, make sure the app name has enough unique keywords so that it's easier to spot while searching.
All my apps were searchable minutes after the direct link started working. Can you post the name of your app.
Check those in Developer console
published area
minimal Android os
make sure it's published in developer console
If it's all right, don't worry, just wait to published
If your app have any problem google will send email to you
First of all,
you must check if you have no other updates,
second check if the website is not under going several changes if so than you might have to wait a couple of days
check your device for any out of the normal activity
if this is not resolved make sure to contact the company and explain them your issue,
regularly it shouldn't be happening to only you so there might be others with the same issue as you, it is unlikely that it could be your device but there is always that possibility that it might.
Don't know if it's ok to ask this question here, but I didn't know where to ask it...
I have made an app with an ad from AdMob. It works just fine, showing up in the app and everything. The problem is when I want to link my app in the AdMob interface, my app is not showing when I search the market.
But I know that it's actually on the market because I can find it when searching on play.google.com.
This is what I want to do. It says Link your app!
Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
Thanks!
It is this part that I have a problem with:
At the red arrow, where it says "Find your app in the search..." My app is not showing in the search result, but I know that it is on the market!
You need to wait a little bit more after publishing your app because AdMob indexes Play store and iTunes about every 48h.
My app took 2+ days to show up in Admob. Wait, it will show up.
If your app name is a bit too common (like mine was "memes") - I would recommend to search by developer name. Admob will try to list all apps of that developer.
Instead of APP name if you provide Developer name ,then it will show of list all APPs by the developer.Then select your required APP [which was not listed when searched].
Enjoy !!!!
I've been able to resolve it today by pasting the full AppStore URL to that search field.
If your App is published and available in the US region, this should probably work. Note that it may take up to 24 hours for the app to be visible on AppStore after releasing.
Make sure you publish the app for release. If your app is still in Beta it will not show up.
If you face issue linking your app and it takes more than 2 weeks you can contact google adMob team on google groups
Group name : Google Mobile Ads SDK Developers
Make sure you post your app details on the above group. My app was pending for 55 days and once I raised they have added my app in 24 hours.
I have to contacted the Google Mobile Ads SDK Developers group and they quickly fixed the issue for me. Now everything works!
Tip: If you didn't find your app by the name, try the following options:
the app's AppStore URL, for example: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-discover-new-music/id324684580
the app's store ID, for example: id324684580
the publisher name, for example: Spotify Ltd.
I had the same issue. I tried searching using the App Name, it did not show. I also tried entering the full App store url and it did not work either. So to resolve it, I did this:
Went to App Store Connect -> General -> App Information -> View on App Store
Copied only the last 2 part of the URL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/COPIED_THE_REST_FROM_HERE.
Went to AdMob and pasted the section of the URL that looks something like this: spotify-discover-new-music/id324684580.
After that it worked. If the App was just released, please wait atleast 24 hours so the App listing in the store is updated.
I just posted my first app to the Android market about half an hour ago (pretty stoked, really, but that's neither here nor there :p). The issue I'm running into is that I can't find it on the playstore. I've searched on my computer with all devices selected, as well as on my phone and tablet - which I used to test the app before publishing.
I've tried going directly to the link with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ptrprograms.asteroidbelt
I can also supply my manifest file if that's necessary. Thank you!
It takes a while to get propagated through their system. Wait a few hours, it'll show up.
When did you post your app? Take in consideration that there are many apps that may have a similar name so you have to scroll many pages down and it takes a lot of time to make the app available. Try to search the app using you account name in no more than 3 days. Maybe tomorrow... My friends had the same problem and they just waited.
I published my first app about an hour ago and I can't find it. I realize it probably takes a while before it'll show up in a search, so I tried linking to it by name using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.rcp.signals
No sign of it.
Any suggestions??
It's called "Canadian Railway Signals".
I realize this question is similar to others that have been posted, except in the other cases linking to their apps directly worked.
The link you provided works for me. You just had a to wait a few more minutes.
From the Publishing Checklist:
Within a few hours, your app will become available to users and your product page will be appear in Google Play for browsing, searching, or linking from your promotional campaigns.
