The service
Our approach to App Store & Extension Listings
If you publish an app, a browser extension, a plugin or an open-source package, there are platforms Google already trusts where your product can hold a permanent listing. We write and submit those listings properly, including the store copy, categories, screenshots, developer profile and links back to you. They act as proof of identity rather than raw authority: they confirm that your business exists and what it does, in places crawlers and AI tools check early. On their own they will not move a competitive keyword, and we tell you that up front.
Problems that show up again and again when we first look at an account. Our plan is built to deal with each one.
Your product exists but no trusted platform lists it
You have shipped an app, an extension or a package, yet the stores and registries search engines already trust have no record of it. A listing creates that record.
Each platform shows a different company name
One store shows the numbered Ontario corporation, another shows the trading name and the support link goes to an old subdomain. To a crawler, that can look like two companies.
Registry entries nobody finished
An npm or PyPI page with no homepage, no repository and a one-line description typed in a rush at first publish.
AI assistants skip tools they cannot confirm
When someone asks a chatbot for a recommendation, it leans toward tools it can tie to a real company. Uncertainty pushes it toward a competitor.

How we keep the work accountable
Before work starts, we agree on the number that matters most to you. Each sprint is planned against it. You get a short recorded update every week and a dashboard you can open any time, and the senior lead joins every call.

Our Process
Four stages of App Store & Extension Listings
The same order every time: find the constraint, plan, deliver, then review. Here is what each stage involves.
01
Backlink Gap Review
A senior analyst compares your backlink profile with the competitors ranking above you and flags harmful links that may be holding you back. You come away with a realistic sense of the gap and what closing it involves.
02
Targets and Story Ideas
We assemble a checked list of relevant publications, including Canadian trade and regional outlets, and develop data-led story ideas your industry cares about. Prospects are scored on real readership and topic fit, never on a domain metric alone.
03
Pitch and Place
Our team sends personalized pitches, answers journalist requests and runs digital PR, aiming for placements on sites with genuine editorial review. Link networks and private blog farms are off the table.
04
Check and Report
Each live link is screenshotted, checked for follow status and added to your dashboard with its referring traffic. A weekly recorded update covers new placements and any ranking changes they help drive.
01
The listing
Treat the store page as a landing page
Three audiences read a store listing: the store’s own search, outside crawlers and a shopper deciding from a title, two lines and a few screenshots. The category you choose decides where you appear when people browse. The optional fields most publishers skip are a cheap advantage.
We write each listing for its store and submit it, using the same legal name, support email and website URL that appear on your own site.

02
Extensions and registries
Browser galleries and developer registries
Chrome and Firefox add-on galleries, plus registries like npm, PyPI, Packagist and crates.io, all have profile fields for homepage, repository, maintainer, licence and description. Most teams leave them empty. Completing them takes a few hours and ties each package clearly to your company.
If your developers have published anything, those pages already exist. We make sure they say the right things.

03
Where it stops
What these listings can and cannot do
Almost all of these links are nofollow, and on their own they will not lift you for a competitive search. Treat any vendor selling store submissions as a ranking tactic with caution.
Their real job is making your company easy for machines to identify in the places they check first. That matters for knowledge panels and, more and more, for whether AI tools name you at all. We explain this before you buy.
Mostly nofollow, explained before purchase
Confirms identity; passes little authority
Supports knowledge panels and AI answers
Not offered when there is nothing to list

FAQs
Before you sign: common questions
Straight answers on scope, timing and how we report.
Do store listings help rankings directly?
Rarely. The links are nearly always nofollow. They help by confirming that your company and product are real, which search engines and AI tools look for before describing you.
We have no app. Does this apply to us?
Possibly not, and we will say so. Some companies have more than they realize, such as a browser extension, a plugin for a platform their customers use, an open-source library or eligibility for a cloud marketplace.
What do you need from us?
Access to your developer or publisher accounts, the product images you already have and someone who can confirm the legal name, support email and pricing. New accounts are created under your company’s name.
How does this relate to knowledge panels and AI answers?
Both rely on matching your company to a single, clear identity. Listings on trusted platforms are one of the least expensive ways to support that, which is why we run this alongside our entity work.
Enter your domain and we pull your link profile. You see the gap between you and the sites ranking above you, plus a frank answer on whether links are what is holding you back.
Tell us about the business and a senior specialist will get back to you within one business day. If starting with Link Building looks like the wrong first step, we will say so and suggest what to fix first.
