Traffic from search dropped. Not indexing

Hello. I guess you have the same issue on Google Play. Downloads dropped, most of keywords not indexed. Please check img, as most keywords are in 200 and less position..before Google **** update app keywords were in top 10... now it up and down..

Google if you dont know what you are doing..just dont do anything..you are not Apple, you just can't be it..

*EDITED:

App is in TOP 10 dating category in a country there are 90 MILLION people and getting 10-15 DOWNLOADS (ten donwloads!!!) in a day :D..

Also dropped from 2nd place in a country with 50 MILLION people to 100 place by dating category...

Sooo.. dropped from two countries with 140 MILLION people..and now getting 10 download from one of them beeing in top 10.

Can't find any of apps by name in Google play search!!!

And its almost a year, and its not fixed yet!

THANK YOU "gOOOOGLE"...

Hi,

Others have commented on this issue. Google Play have responded to say everything is working as it should, However we can't comment on that image as it is not from the Play console. If the stats in the play console show the same and you are concerned then contact support.

Ben, may you ask Google..is it normal for YouTube Kids app to be seen on Adult content?

And for example for people who are looking for Dating to see Bank app in top list?

* Since when people are dating in the Bank:))))

Hi,

The first question you will need to ask the YouTube community - the second one - well searches are also based on user search history and apps most likely to be of interest to the user will be shown. If you and I searched the same words we would see different results based on our past interactions and searches.

No, its not normal:)

Since when.. on "S*x dating" its normal to see apps like:

*Google drive :D????

* YouTube

* LinkedIn

* Facebook

* X ( twitter)

* Google meet?

* Google maps :Dd ??????

* Google Chrome????

* Tiktok??

* Google photos???

* Discord

* Telegram....

And these keywords are jumping up and down every day,, Google 364 days just can't fix it:) yeah, same i can see on Google Play console..one day UP ..increased users..next day down...

Conversion rates - Google says GREAT Job!!! Its better than the othe apps..but still missing keywords and some crap apps are HAPPY to be at the top...

I think they messed up the whole system and they can't figure out how to fix it. They are hard on developers but they should first clean their own house. Extremely dull they are, keep messing with their system and making it worst.

Unfortunally no update. Google just cant fix these issues.

Maybe they should ask for some help from professionals, for example Apple help?

I can confirm that my apps are back. They now can be searched again and the number of installs restored.
