My app used to show up under productivity->task management, without a
user having to search for it by name. Now, it doesn't show up. What
do I need to do get it to be featured on the page again?

What factors increase the rank?

-Number of searches for the app?
-Number of users clicking the app?
-Number of users installing the app?
-Is there a premium account?

I have a website where I can direct users to search and install teh
app, but I want to know what factors are relevant.

Hi,

This is likely because you have the app installed and you no longer see apps you have installed in the Chrome Web Store.  Users who don't have the app can still search for it.

You should direct users directly to you item page, and also use the inline install API from your existing app.

I have same problem.
I added app to Chrome Web Store about 2 weeks ago
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chhdogkpkeolfmbdonbapmbgnleekgjn?hl=ru
I send some users directly to it and 353 installed - but I still can't
find it anywhere in Store for exception of search by name or keyword.
And I cheked Chrome Web Store not from my account.
Is here some pre-moderation and how long it can take?
Or there any other steps required or it's problem with Russian
language of app?
Also there previous verison of same app in store we lost access to -
may be it in some way interfere? I can try to delete old version if it
can help.

It is in the store and I can see it in the store when I go to the category your app is listed in.

If you are searching in another games category that is not role playing then you will not see it.
