Chrome Web Store Promotion

[styleb...@gmail.com]

Hi guys,

I am the founder and developer of a small yet useful extension called Templify:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fndgllkjbjkfnkjfcpnajbmgaedokmdo

I am following all the Chrome Web Store requirements and best development practices as well, trying to build a simple but efficient tool for daily usage. So far, the extension works great and I have a certain number of active users.

However, during the extension's lifetime, I noticed that it was only promoted once on the Chrome Web Store (over 1.5 years ago) for a short period of time, compared to direct competitors that have been promoted daily over the last 2 years.

Before drawing any conclusions, I decided to spend more time on this and put even more effort into the extension itself. I upgraded it to MV3 (even before it was required), updated the UI, screens, descriptions, videos, and so on.

But, as you might guess, even after all the upgrades and improvements, the extension is not being promoted on the Chrome Web Store. This is something to consider, especially since the direct competitor is still being promoted, even though it is on legacy MV2.

Can anyone explain why this is happening? Are there any hidden rules or moderation preferences?
