Chrome Web Store

We help publish and optimize an extension in the Chrome Web Store: listing preparation per requirements, passing Google review, page optimization, analytics. Honestly and bluntly upfront, and as a matter of principle: this is an extension store — you must already have a working extension (or it must be developed separately). Google strictly reviews extensions (especially privacy/permissions), a listing does NOT guarantee installs, policies can reject/remove. Without promises of approval, top and installs.

Chrome Web Store — overview

Chrome Web Store — price, timeline & scope

Chrome Web Store is publishing and optimizing a browser extension in the Chrome Web Store: checking the extension's readiness for Google requirements and policies (manifest, minimally necessary permissions, privacy policy, justification of data access, Manifest V3), preparing the listing (title, description, icon, screenshots/promo, categories), passing Google review, page optimization (keys/conversion), working with rating/genuine reviews, analytics, tracking policy changes. The work: policy compliance, listing, review, optimization. Honestly about 'a ready extension is needed', this is key and fundamental: the Chrome Web Store is an extension store; for publishing a working extension compliant with Google policies is needed (or it must be developed — separate development, not part of the listing). 'We will simply list you' without a ready extension = a lie. Honestly about 'strict review and privacy', critical: Google strictly checks extensions, especially requested permissions and handling of user data (privacy); excessive permissions, opaque data handling, policy violations lead to rejection or removal of the extension — Google's decision is beyond our control; 'we guarantee approval' = a lie. Honestly about 'a listing ≠ installs': listing optimization increases visibility/conversion, but installs depend on the extension's usefulness, demand, competition, reviews — not on the fact of publishing. Honestly about 'Google decides ranking/visibility': the position is determined by the Chrome Web Store algorithm — we optimize, but top is not guaranteed. Honestly about 'policies change': requirements (e.g. Manifest V3) and policies change — current compliance is needed. Honestly about 'no inflation': installs/reviews are only genuine. Honestly about the effect: it prepares the listing and publishes a ready extension in the Chrome Web Store (policy/privacy compliance, review, optimization, analytics, genuine reviews), increasing the chances of visibility/conversion, but a ready extension is needed (development separate); Google review is strict (privacy/permissions, can reject/remove); a listing ≠ installs; Google decides visibility; policies change; only genuine reviews. Honestly about access: a ready extension (or development), a developer account, a privacy policy are needed. An important boundary: this is listing/publishing in the Chrome Web Store (not extension development); Shopify App Store — 604; Salesforce AppExchange — 606. The base price starts from 22,000 ₽ for listing preparation + review + optimization (extension development — separate).

Problems we solve

  • You have an extension but it is unclear how to publish in the Chrome Web Store (policies, permissions, privacy, review).
  • A misconception that you can 'list' without a ready policy-compliant extension.
  • Not knowing about the strict Google review (privacy/permissions, rejection/removal) and that a listing ≠ installs.
  • Excessive permissions/opaque privacy; a desire to inflate installs/reviews.

FAQ

  • Can you just list the extension in the Chrome Web Store?

    Only with a ready extension, honestly: this is an extension store, and for publishing a working extension compliant with Google policies is needed. If there is no extension or it is non-compliant (privacy/permissions) — this is separate development/fixes, not part of the listing. We will honestly check readiness and say what is needed.

  • Do you guarantee approval and installs?

    No, honestly: Google strictly reviews extensions, especially privacy and requested permissions; violations lead to rejection or removal — Google's decision is beyond our control. And a listing increases visibility, but installs depend on the extension's usefulness, demand, competition. We do not give approval/install guarantees.

  • Can installs/reviews be inflated?

    No, honestly: inflating installs/reviews violates Chrome Web Store rules and leads to extension removal/sanctions. We work only legally (listing optimization, requesting genuine reviews, working with feedback). We do not do inflation — this is fundamental.
