Ranking discrepancies

[dawsonski]

The head office of our organisation has just set up a new website and I see that it is ranking third below two of our retail stores. I performed a link analysis s and see we out rank our stores in terms of Links etc. Can someone explain to me why we are below these stores. Also our website was only launched a week a go. Could this have an effect?

There are a multitude of reasons why your new domain may not be ranking above your retail stores.The age of the site is probably 1 factor amongst many.

If I were you I'd give it a month or so to settle down before panicking too much.

If it's mission critical that the new site rank #1 then I'd consider using PPC to get the visibility while you do some work on it.
