Apps BIG ISSUE WITH APP VISIBILITY

Hi guys,
i don't know if any one faced this issue before, but i'm having a very weird problem

i have an android application called "WTF Jokes", and it had a good ranking in many keywords ( "wtf" , "yoo bro" , "sarcasm", "joke of the day" ... and many more)

a few days ago i submited an update an changed a few words in the discription, the update was rejected at first (with the app still live on store) but a second update was accepted.

the issue is that my app is no longer visible on the play store; you only can find it by it's full name
the other keywords has become dead

as you can see, after oct 14 2017 the my app's visibility is null
i contact google developpers support and still waiting for respond
does any one have any idea about what's hapning !!!
 
A few thoughts:
  • I wonder if it has been flagged as being "adult" in nature because of the WTF?
  • What service are you using to track these keywords? It's possible they are being blocked from seeing content flagged "adult" in nature
  • Maybe the service itself is messed up and the timing is a coincidence
  • Check all your age ratings/settings to make sure nothing in your dev account is wrong or seems suspicious
Wish I could help more... curious to hear if you find a solution.
 
thank you for the reply
  • it is ranked as +12

  • i used many services (mobileaction/ watch.appfollow / sensortower ...)
the issue is that my app was verry well ranked, but now it's not even visible something changed and i thing it happened when my update was rejected ( it was rejected beacause i used the word "9gag" in the description, on the second update i removed that word)

by the way it is visible on other keywords ("halloween jokes" "trump jokes") wich i added in the second update
this issues is getting verry weird :/
