New seller: projects still not in search/browse after ~1 week — review pending?

Hi! I published my first two projects on July 7 (new seller account):

Both have cover images, files/browser build, tags, and pricing set, and payments work (Collected by itch.io mode). The AI generation disclosure is filled in honestly (AI-assisted code only; no AI-generated art).

Checked logged-out: neither project appears in search (even by exact title), tag browse pages, or the newest-tools feed — so I assume the first-project seller review from the ‘Getting indexed’ guide is still pending.

Is the review still in the queue, or is something on my end blocking indexing? Happy to fix anything. Thanks!

Your first commercial game will typically require a manual review by the staff, and while there's no way to know how long that review will take, I recommend waiting two to three weeks before assuming there might be an error.

Most likely, they'll review your page and account within the next week, and if nothing suspicious is found, you'll be indexed.

Your account has been reviewed and is now eligible for indexing, thanks for your patience.

Thank you both — confirming it worked: the projects are indexed and showing up in search now. Appreciate the review and the patience advice.
