      Hi guys,

      One of our website (https://www.residentiebosrand.be/) has been online for about two months. It's indexed and Google shows search results. But the website is not ranking on the keywords it's supposed to be ranking: 'residentie bosrand'.

      How come we still don't find the website on the first pages in the search results, while these are the main keywords on the website's URL, page, ... ?

      Best regards,

        Hi Conversal

        I remember you asking this before. It's common for Google to take time to rank new websites. It can take a year to fully optimise all of your search positions so I am not surprised at all. Even scanning the site with SEMrusg give sthis information:

        "Sorry, we haven't found any information related to your request in the google.co.uk database.

        There are some reasons why this could occur:

        • 1. The domain name was mistyped. Please make sure it is spelt** correctly.**
        • 2. The website with this domain name does not exist.
        • 3. This is a new website and we don't have it in our databases yet.
        • 4. We haven't noticed this domain rank in Google's top 100 organic or paid search results for keywords from our databases."

        You really need to be patient and in the meantime maybe use pay per click or other means to get traffic.

        Some sites can get lucky but they are few and far between:

        https://ahrefs.com/blog/how-long-does-it-take-to-rank/

        Just make sure your site is the best it can be and be patient. Follow every SEO tip you can, meta titles, descriptions, images, H1, H2s, on page content and make sure each page has its own unique theme and user intent and the traffic will come.

        Regards NIgel

          Hi there,

          I have been in same boat myself with a brand new website that wasn't actually ranking for its own brand name.

          This is just usually something which fixes itself over time, it can be frustrating but as long as you are following guidelines and publishing fresh and unique content then you will get there in now time.

          I hope this helps

            Hello there,

            Since you already got replies telling you that things can take some time, I would just provide you with something that you could do to expedite the process.

            • Press release
            • Setup relevant social profiles, GMB, and link to your own website make sure you have a consistent NAP
            • Get citations from the local website
            • Build some quality backlinks

            Upon checking the keyword "residentie bosrand", I found that it wasn't a keyword with much competition either, and you have an exact match domain. So I believe the above tips can easily get you rank for your own brand name in a matter of days.

            BTW, considering giving a more descriptive file name for your PDF, Google might think they're spammy. Or just simply hide them from search results. (https://moz.com/community/q/no-index-pdfs)

            Hope this helps,
            Joseph Yap

              The thing about this website game regardless of it's intent and mechanism of monetization you have to be capable of not looking at things in terms of time and deadlines, goals. You plant a seed the seed will grow. If you don't water it, it will die. Unfortunately, unlike trees, you can't guarantee nor approximate  when and how much fruit it's going to bring in for your harvest if you ever even get that far.

              One day, one step at a time, what is it you can do today, to improve the size, and quality of your site. Do the same thing the next day. There is no "My website is complete" It is a certainty the better quality content and design, the better quality and visit times/quantities will be for you.

              The more content and pages, the more possibilities and reasons for visitors to appear. Until you have 20 really solid amazing pieces of content on your site, don't stray or go link building. Because what will be the point?

              The first time it occurs if you take everyone here's advice it will most likely be MUCH quicker than it took me, because I resisted making content as long as humanely possible like an idiot but this occurence is amazing! You'll eventually produce something Google thinks is godly.

              That content could literally be relevant amongst some ridiculously tough key phase, it will just seemingly skyrocket to the first page like it belonged there from the beginning of time and was nailed firmly in place! It's crazy encountering it because you see so often the times in which Google is letting the most ridiculous events occur and make no sense of it.

              But then their algorithm will unexpectedly do something brilliant, genuinely rewarding you for your hard work! Don't get used to it!  It is rare! but it happens 🙂
