Short answer
Open the content rating questionnaire in Play Console and answer it again for the app as it is now, including any content or features added since the last rating. Check that the ads shown are not significantly more mature than the app. Submit the new questionnaire, then the update. If you disagree with the rating, appeal through the link in the certificate email.
Rather not fix it yourself? App Fix Ticket starts with a fixed-price diagnosis, then a fixed price for the fix before any fix work.
Why Google Play flagged the content rating, and the fix
01
The app has no content rating
“We don’t allow apps without a content rating on Google Play.” Google Play, Content Ratings
The questionnaire is required for every new app and every app active on Google Play. Apps without a rating are removed from the Play Store.
02
The app changed after it was rated
“you must submit a new content rating questionnaire in the Play Console.” Google Play, Content Ratings
Retake the questionnaire whenever new content or features change the answers.
03
The answers don’t match the app
“Misrepresentation of your app’s content may result in removal or suspension, so it is important to provide accurate responses to the content rating questionnaire.” Google Play, Content Ratings
Answer for what the app actually shows, not what it was meant to show. Under-reporting content is misrepresentation.
04
The ads are more mature than the app
“any ads that appear in the app must not be significantly more mature in content than the primary content within the app itself.” Google Play, Content Ratings
Also check: the ad network’s content filters match the app’s rating.
Checked against the vendor’s docs on : Google Play Help: Content Ratings policy.
