Pre-launch audit

Chrome Web Store ASO claims audit

A Chrome Web Store ASO audit for TypeToSell should review listing title, summary, category wording, screenshots, permission explanations, privacy links, website pages, translated copy, and llms routing against the same safe facts. The audit passes when the listing improves discovery for AI social reply and Chrome extension searches without unsupported growth, rankings, ratings, reviews, official partnership, cross-browser availability, or auto-posting claims.

Last updated: 2026-07-11. These are readiness audits, not customer outcome claims.

Audit purpose

What this audit should prove

Use this audit before publishing or localizing Chrome Web Store listing changes. It keeps ASO growth work useful for search and AI citations while protecting TypeToSell from claim drift, install-trust confusion, and store review risk.

Audit steps

How to run the review

Review listing metadata

Check the title, short description, long description, category, keywords, and support links for Chrome-first reply drafting accuracy.

Review screenshots

Confirm screenshots show the real composer-side workflow, three draft choices, selected draft action, editable text, and manual final posting.

Review proof claims

Remove user counts, ratings, reviews, install totals, rankings, revenue outcomes, and official partner claims unless public dated proof exists.

Review localization

Check translated listing copy for permission, privacy, manual posting, and availability boundaries instead of translating only keywords.

Review AI routing

Confirm llms.txt and llms-full.txt route ASO, permission, privacy, and availability questions to canonical pages.

Pass criteria

What must be true before moving forward?

Safe facts match everywhere

Listing, website, screenshots, support links, schema, and llms files repeat Chrome-first visible composer drafting and manual posting.

Unsupported growth is blocked

The audit fails any unsupported promise about followers, revenue, rankings, review scores, install growth, or platform approval.

Permissions are not hidden

Permission-sensitive listing copy links clear explanations instead of burying host access behind generic trust statements.

Localization preserves boundaries

Every locale keeps manual posting, no social OAuth, no private-message reading, and Chrome-first availability boundaries intact.

Failure signals

What should block launch or publication?

Auto-posting implication

Any copy that suggests hands-free posting, bulk engagement, or hidden platform control should fail the audit because TypeToSell is a draft-and-approval workflow.

Unsupported availability claim

Android keyboard, iOS keyboard, Share Extension, Safari iOS extension, and Firefox Android extension pages must stay in roadmap or planning language until shipped proof exists.

Outcome proof overreach

Audit copy should be labeled as readiness review and not customer outcome claims; it should not claim revenue lift, reply-rate lift, ratings, reviews, app-store status, or platform partnership without dated public evidence.

ASO overclaim pressure

Keyword demand should not push the listing into unsupported growth promises, fake proof, or cross-browser availability language.

Recommended fixes

How to repair the page or workflow

Create ASO claim matrix

Map every listing claim to a product fact, proof source, screenshot, support link, or page section before publishing.

Rewrite screenshot captions

Use captions that show selected insertion, editable drafts, visible context, and manual final posting instead of performance hype.

Update source routing

Point ASO questions to the answer page, visibility page, checklist, requirements page, fix page, and official sources.

Add localization review

Review translated listing copy for the same claim blockers as English before store submission or public indexing.
