My brand name has 2 words but Google only indexing as 1 word. Is there a fix?
-
Hi all...I'm at a loss. I've never had this happen. Google only shows pages of my site when I search the brand name as one word.
When I Google the site as one word BrandBrand- it only shows my blog page and about us page plus Twitter and Facebook on page 1. The homepage does not show up at all.
When I Google the site as two words Brand Brand - My Facebook page is on page 1 but nothing else. The homepage isn't showing up at all.
When I search both words on Bing and Yahoo both are indexing it as two words and shows on page 1.
Any ideas?

Site age? Incoming links? Did you submit the website to even Google?
Does it list at all? Like page 2 or 3 etc? If thats the case, i'd suggest inspecting your incoming link profile and adjust links accordingly. It might be considered spammy.

It's a new site. It's doesn't list at all...I checked through page 14 with the two words. But it does with one. There are no backlinks yet as it's new. But it should still be showing results for the brand name search.

New sites are damped to prevent quick spammers launching up domains on to go. So it takes a while or some time for google to release that and start listing you actively.

Great. I'll wait it out then. The reason I reached out is I've seen aged sites with this same issue. Let's see what happens in a few weeks. Thanks!

In my experience it can even take 2 to 4 months really. It's why i focus more on domains with a longer age then newly registered ones. I have domains of over 10 year old in relation of registration and those index in just one complete night if i renew the website. Just saying.

Right but most pages of my site have been indexed. They're not ranking well yet and that's what takes time. The indexing happens quickly, it's the ranking that takes time.
I appreciate your responses, though.
