Brand name not ranking in Google
-
Hi Moz'ers,
Could you help me with something I cannot seem to figure out by myself.
In June 2017 my company started a rebranding campaign. We've changed our brand name and launched a new website: https://spotler.com.
Everything is going fine, but if you Google our brand name "Spotler" our website doesn't show up. How can it be? Our domain authority is 38.
It would be wonderful if you could help me. Let me know if you need more information.
Best,
Simone

Simone,
I've meant to set the configuration in Google search console, going to: search traffic -> international configuration. There go to the country tab and select your country.
Best luck.

Hi Gaston,
Thanks for your help! I've added a hreflang to the site, is that what you mean with configuring the language in GWT?
Best,
Simone

Hello Simone,
I think this is a problem of regional targetting.
Well you are definetelly indexed. I get 290 results with site: search.
What i can see is that you have a gTLD and you want to rank for netherlangs. Have you configured the language in Search Console?
Cant see it from here, have you redirected the old site to the new one? That might help a little.Let me know if those already done, in order to dig further.
Best luck.

Are you sure? I am finding your site with this keyword "spotler" on google.
-
Have you set up a Google + account? - https://www.google.com/business/
Set one up and fill in all your company details, photos etc.
then verify your domain on it.
Also get a your address verified by having a Google postcard sent (or sometimes you can do it via a landline)
Then get a couple of reviews.
Get the above sorted and it should show up in no-time!

BetterWidget or Better Widget? Brand name effect on SEO
I have a company that produces widgets. People generally search for "widget". I need to decide how to brand my company. Stylistically, I like BetterWidget, but I worry about the effects on SEO. If people are commonly searching for "widget", and my page title contains "BetterWidget", but no other use of the term, that may have a negative effect. 1. Is Google able to parse through these joined words? (this is similar but distinct from the discussion on common compound words like ice cream) 2. Does capitalization of the second "word" in the joined word help signal to Google that these are two terms joined together? 3. On the flip side, is there a negative effect from not having a unique "brand". In other words, articles that are about my company Better Widget may seem to google just to be about better widgets in general. Thanks

How to improve my rankings?
Hi guys, I'm targeting a specific country NZ to start off with as my site is only new 3months old - whilst I'm trying to rank for various keywords such as - psychic readings, online psychic readings, love psychics, clairvoyant, astrology, tarot card readings etc I can see I'm slowly ranking around 18, 20,30,40 through my blog page, but nothing from the site. I know the site is content thin and were currently working on improving this, is there anything else you can suggest that perhaps I might need to be aware of? Or any tools I could use to go about getting information that could help put me ahead lol Thanks all!

Google Brand Preference- Real Estate Industry
So the changes in the Google algo over the last 2 months has ruined most real estate oriented SERPS. I used to rank very well for all of my chosen local real estate keywords. Google pretty much serves up Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, Remax(corporate), Century21(corporate), ERA(corporate), and Exit(corporate) for every high traffic real estate serp. It's pathetic. Literally useless to searchers. Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com have always been contenders. Now they just dominate. They were always front page, now they are top three in every high volume real estate serp nation wide. The truly disheartening thing about the update is that it's putting franchise websites in the top rankings that in many cases don't even have a local feed to real estate. So users cant even search properties, but Google's brand is putting them above all the local franchise offices. So if you are a Remax office, Remax's official site is beating you on your local real estate keywords. The corporate site doesn't even relate at all to the local search. I described the issue. I could use the next five sentence to cry about my lack of faith in G anymore, but I won't. How does one compete with brands like Zillow for local keywords. If anyone has a local realtor client that competes against Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com, I am willing to pay you for consultation.

Best practice for the brand name in Page Titles
We are considering changing the way we treat our brand (TTS) in our page title tags. In MOZ I found the following advice: Optimal Format Primary Keyword - Secondary Keyword | Brand Name
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | TTS_Group
or
Brand Name | Primary Keyword and Secondary Keyword Are these of equal merit or is the former (Primary keyword | Brand) the better route? Currently we use the second version - 'Brand | Primary Keyword' - but we are proposing to shift to 'Primary Keyword | Brand'. We currently get an awful lot of brand traffic that converts very well so I need to be sure that no harm is done as a minimum. All views appreciated. Many thanks. Jon0 -
Why is my ranking not improving???
Our site is about 4 months old now, although the domain is older. We are adding fresh new content, building good facebook/twitter/Goolge+ and undertaking good PR - but our ranking does not seem to be improving at all. Have I missed something obvious???? Thanks.
