How to submit to Chrome Web Store

  1. Open the Chrome Web Store submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    Chrome Web Store asks you to sign up before you can submit.

  3. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Chrome Web Store (Chrome users searching for extensions), not for search engines.

  5. Wait for review

    A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.

Tips for Chrome Web Store

  • Register in the developer dashboard, accept the developer agreement and pay the one-time fee before your first upload
  • Use a developer email you check, since policy and review notices go there
  • Fill in privacy fields and test instructions fully to avoid review delays

From Chrome Web Store’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for developer tool directories.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • Links to your docs and a quick-start or install command
  • Your GitHub or GitLab repo, if public
  • Supported languages, frameworks and platforms
  • Pricing for the API or hosted tier, including free limits

Is Chrome Web Store worth it?

Good for discovery, not link equity

Links from Chrome Web Store listings carry rel="ugc", so they pass little or no ranking value. Submit if its audience matches yours: the value is visitors and being findable where people browse.

  • No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
  • A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
  • Listing costs money. Pay for the audience, not the link: Google’s spam policies treat buying links that pass ranking value as a link scheme.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
