How to set "Alarms & Clocks" category for an extension in Google Chrome?

I have a question about Google Chrome extension development if there are people with relevant experience out there.

I have created a timer extension for Google Chrome but when I want to publish it, there is no "Alarms & Clocks" category in the dashboard. The closest I could find is "Productivity". But I want my extension to be listed under alarms and clocks.

This is what I see in the Developer Dashboard > Edit Item:

I literally typed "Alarms & Clocks" in "Additional Categories" but it didn't help either. How do people set those categories like "Utilities", "Education", etc. that you can see in Chrome Web Store?

Solution

  • I know that promotional images for extensions are reviewed by Google employees. This quality control may also include setting detailed categories. To help them choose use Additional categories (comma-separated): option. Description for it states:

    Enter additional categories that describe your item. We will use them to improve our selection of categories.
