ExtGuard
Yellow ZincMetadata & Listing

Missing or insufficient metadata

The store listing is missing an icon, title, screenshots, or a meaningful description.

Common reasons Google rejected this

  • 01Required listing fields are empty or contain placeholders.
  • 02The title is generic, misleading, or doesn't reflect what the extension does.
  • 03Screenshots don't show actual functionality.
  • 04Description doesn't explain what the extension does.

How to fix it

  • Fill every required field on the store listing.
  • Use a descriptive title (e.g., 'PromptForge — save and reuse AI prompts', not 'AI Helper').
  • Add screenshots showing the extension actually in use, not marketing graphics only.
  • Write a description that lists the actual features.
