      Hello, we launched www.comparetravel.ie in June but it is not showing up on google search, we have submitted it to google twice but still no sign of our site.

      I thought it would at least show up for the "Compare Travel" search term, it only shows up when you type the full website address into google. Any ideas on what we are doing wrong?

      Alll advice greatly appreciated. (The website is Irish based)

      Thanks

        I have a similar situation with my website. I have submitted it to Google once in Webmaster Toolsbut it only appears when you enter the URL ....a brand name search doesnt dictate a position in the SERPs.

        Its been live for around 2 months now. Im sure most answers will be to be patient...but its hard! Relying on PPC for brand searches at the moment which isnt ideal.

          Hi,

          I understand that "Compare Travel" is your brand, but I would think, that would be at least a moderately competitive keyword, so just existing would not dictate a high position. (until you establish yourself as the "brand" compare travel - which is tough, cause compare travel to what and how?

          I also, am not sure that "Compare Travel" would be interpreted as a brand signal, right off the bat either.

          This just seems like a list of keywords, with your "Brand" thrown in (you even have a similar keyword to "Compare Travel" in your title, not helping your Brand Distinction (in my opinion)

            There is not one instance of "compare travel" on your homepage.

            Doing this is the best way to assure that your site will NEVER rank for "compare travel"

            http://www.comparetravel.ie/terms-of-business/

            Also, it's only a 11 page site with poor SEO, it takes more to rank for a moderately competitive keyword than having it in your domain name.

            FYI, pull your CSS code out of the body of your page and reference it in an include file.

                Google knows it's there, there is no need to re-submit for indexing.

                https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acomparetravel.ie+*

                I suggest you start with the basics. Work on keyword optimizing the content of your website, and then building links where you can.

                All the best.
