I concede this is a really, really minor issue, but it has bugged me for years.

Out of habit, I navigate to the extensions developer dashboard via Google search results, and the appearance of the search result makes it very hard to find. See the screenshot below, with the developer dashboard link indicated.
  • The page title and meta description resemble the main Chrome Web Store landing page, and only when I closely inspect the breadcrumbs am I able to find the correct result. 
  • The icon is for Chrome, not for the Chrome Web Store. 
  • The attribution, "Google" is misleading, as I'm scanning for "devconsole" but not "Chrome for Developers". 
  • The correct result URL (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/devconsole/) has a page title of "Developer Dashboard" which would be much more appropriate to appear in search results.
