My game is not visible in search

The problem is that I can't find my game in the search. By full name, by tags. It doesn't show up in any way. I read an article about why a game might not be visible. Everything that's described and what could be - doesn't seem to apply to me. The game has been published on itch.io for over a month. I'd like to at least get feedback on what's wrong with it? There's only one game in the profile, but if needed, I can attach links.

I'll speed things up for you.

Thanks, now I can see the game in the search. Tell me for the future, what was the problem?

I don't know.

I have same problem, I have two games on Itch and no game was indexed even one game released before nearly one year. The Itch links is indexed on Google already however I cannot find my games even search with exact name and tags. I really don’t know why this happened, and what I did wrong. I followed Itch guidelines; all games have screenshots, descriptions, downloadable contents.

The games affected from this issue:

  • Flying Doge (Released: Jul 01, 2024)
  • Crimson Helix (Released: 2 weeks ago)

I'll speed things up for Flying Doge, but Crimson Helix was published and modified more recently, so itch.io staff should probably have a chance to look at it first.

In any event, next time please make your own topic. I almost missed your post.

Thank you for looking into Flying Doge, I am really glad about that.

Sorry for initially commenting instead of making a dedicated post. I didn’t want to duplicate the topic, I will open new topic next time.

Thanks again for quick response.
