Why is my game not showing up when I search it up?

I am looking up the game “High Tower” yet I get no results. I am confused on why this is the case. I asked others to look up High Tower and some of them succeeded in looking it up.

Here’s me looking it up with quotations:

Here’s someone else looking it up:

Does anyone knows why this is happening?

Yes, your game might not show up on search for many reasons:

  • Other games have more visits and/or your game does not enough visits.
  • The game is fairly new and hasn’t entered the algorithm yet.
  • Other games might be called “High Tower”, which can cover the spot of your game on search results.

hmm.

i’ve seen previous posts with your problem, they can’t find their own game!

i don’t think it will be too impactful however, because with this problem, others can still easily find it for some reason.

It’s not that I get drowned out by the algorithm or it’s not in the algorithm.
Other people could look up the game and somehow find it as the first result. When I look it up, it just won’t show me the game.

I believe that the algorithm is based on personalized recommendations. Through the images sent, I see that most of the people who found it were on mobile. This might be the reason. Are a majority of your player base on mobile?

Also, how many visits does your game have?

Games based on personalized recommendations are shown in the home page. I’ve looked it up through mobile and I am not getting the game.

This is a game with 1.8M+ visits.

Hmmmm

In that case, it’s weird that your game doesn’t show up.

Usually either new games or games with a smaller amount of visits don’t come up on search results. When I tried searching up your game, I also couldn’t find the game. Idk what to say except that this is weird

I am still experiencing this issue, it would be great if there are any insights into this.

Issue is resolved, apparently changing the name of your game will make the search algorithm not show your game.

I have tried this with another place and that seemed to be the case.
