Within minutes of that email, the Featured badge appeared on the Chrome Web Store listing!

🎉 No manual follow-up. Smooth process.

⏱️ Just 2 days later, on July 24, I got the email:
“Self Nomination Request has been created”

That’s when things got exciting.

After submitting, I got a confirmation email from Google.
🗓️ Date: July 22
Subject: “We’ve received your request”

They said they’d get back after a manual review.

Some of the questions you'll be asked:

✅ What's your extension’s purpose?
✅ Main use cases and how users should use it
✅ Does it require access to any external services? (Netflix, banking, etc.)

Form link:

Note: You can self-nominate once every 6 months.

The process starts with a simple support request form.

Go to:
➡️ Chrome Web Store Developer Support
➡️ My Item > I want to nominate my extension

They’ll ask a few questions that you need to answer clearly and briefly.

To get the Featured badge, Chrome extensions must follow a set of best practices and pass a manual review.

I recently migrated to Manifest V3, then submitted a nomination request via the Chrome Web Store team.
