I've uploaded an Android App only available to four countries. I can't see its Google Play link indexed on Google search results. At first I thought it was due to it not being available in my country but running some tests I've found links to Apps not available at all in my country (for example ABC live TV) and whose results appear in Google Search results. Is there anything I must do to help Google index my App? I've seen there's a framework called Google Indexing but as far as I've read it's more focused on deep-linking rather than app discovery.
Just to clarify, I can access the App via the direct link from Google Play if I click on it on my Google Play Developer Console but I can't see my App in the search results if I look for it.
Can anyone just share some light about this issue?
Turned out to be just waiting for a couple weeks to wait for Google to index the App, now it's appearing properly

So I have been trying to find wayx to associate My App to my website's google search, a couple of post are suggesting using App Indexing from the Google Play Store I tried that and nothing has happen so far...( Unless I have to create a deeplink in the App Mainfest?) And example of what I am trying to achieve is similar to the screenshot provided for such as Walgreens where they have a install button. And I want to achieve the same with my personal project. Are there any resources out there to achieve this feature?

Getting Data from Android Play Store
I work on a Android TV project which can search movies with using users choices as input, and I want to integrate it to the Google Search Application.
For example, user enters "Interstellar" to Google Search application, my application can take this input and it will show the own results in the below of the Google Search results.
Is it possbile ? Is there any api or tool for it? Thank you.
What you are looking for is called App-Indexing. Google can search your app and suggest users to open your app in the search result. E.g. if you have the imdb.com app installed and you are searching for a movie on your phone, you will be able to open the app from the search results, pointing to the specific site in the app.

Please some on guide me the way to give Google indexing to my android app but i don't have a website on my own. All i want is to show my app on searching in Google and on clicking that search item it should go to play store.
Here is the google developer doc for the same.
https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/?hl=en
Please someone could help me explain how it works.
Google indexes websites. If you have a unique app or other way for Google to recognize your app among many others, then submit your app to other app "markets" like Amazon or AppBrain.
You can also submit to websites that review apps or want to reference to talk about "new" or interesting apps.
You can also pay people to write or blog about your app, but that is a possible violation of the Google Play Store TOS (subject to interpretation of course).
App indexing allows developers to connect pages from your app web site with specific content within your Android app. This enables Android smartphone users who have your app installed to open it directly from relevant mobile search results on Google. If you don't have a website connected to your app I don't think you can index your app for Google Search Results.
Having said that you could try to add app indexing to your app only for Google Search App just to re-engage the user but I'm no sure if it is possible to do that or not.
We all know that the Google spider comes by your website now and then to update their database so your website shows up in Google Search.
Is their a way to tell Google all the text I have in my app so it will show the Google Play Store page of my app when a users searches for keywords I use in my app?
I looked into the new Android feature of Google Indexing but those deep-links are something different.
I would like to index the content of my app so it can be found in Google Search before the user knows about and installed my app.
Background info: My app has a lot of (static) textual content in TextViews.
There is nothing like this that I am aware of.
Google indexes the text you put in the description of your app when you publish it on the Google Play Store.
Take a look at this:
