We need to figure out how to get it higher up on the Play Store's search results rather than it being impossible to discover at something like #40 on that list

You pay...no way around that. Google has rigged the search in the store, you will never get a good search location unless you pay.

I mean, yeah. Just remembered someone mentioning that yesterday and wanted to add it, because it's ridiculous.

Yeah it's absolutely insane...I searched for an app just yesterday by exact name, and it still didn't crack the top 20 reaults

That's how you know your system is fucked. Searching BY NAME doesn't result in the app appearing as result number 1.

There is absolutely zero excuse or reason for that.
