Discovery & SEO

Prepare discoverable public listings with accurate metadata while respecting approval, content-quality and indexability rules.

A useful listing explains what the software does, who it is for and which platforms it actually supports. Approval and search indexing are separate steps; neither guarantees rankings or installs.

Prepare a listing

  1. •Choose the category that matches the app's primary purpose.
  2. •Use a clear product name and describe a concrete task in the first paragraph.
  3. •Add real screenshots and an accurate icon.
  4. •Disclose supported builds, dependencies, pricing and who hosts a web app.
  5. •Keep the developer identity and support/privacy links accurate.

For example, “Turn meeting notes into an editable summary; requires your own model credentials” is more useful than “Best unlimited AI app.” Do not publish benchmarks or endorsements without actual evidence.

Publication and indexability

New submissions are pending. Public catalog discovery depends on approval. The website renders public app, agent and developer pages on the server, but thin or unsuitable records can remain noindex. Filtered search and private dashboard URLs are not preferred search destinations. A URL in a sitemap is an indexing candidate, not proof that Google has indexed it.

The marketplace, agent catalog, category pages and public developer portfolios provide relevant internal discovery. Share the canonical public listing after it is approved, rather than dashboard or faceted search links.

Limits

This guide does not publish a marketplace ranking formula. Verification, reviews, release frequency, dwell time and refund rates must not be represented as guaranteed ranking boosts. There is no measured conversion uplift associated with a completed profile or badge here.

Troubleshooting

If a listing is missing, inspect its review status first. If a public page has noindex, contact support with the public URL and listing quality details. If it is eligible but not yet in a search index, allow time and use authorized webmaster reporting; submitting repeatedly does not establish demand.
