Google showing sitelinks on wrong spelling of domain

[stackstreet]

Hello,

For some reason, google is giving us sitelinks for for the wrong spelling of our domain. Our site is stackstreet(.com) and our company is named 'StackStreet'.

Instead of showing sitelinks for the search 'StackStreet', google is showing them for 'Stack Street' (with a space).

Any ideas? This spelling does not exist anywhere within our source code.

Thanks!

It seems that its still not showing sitelinks, even though the site gets somewhat significant traffic... I know the timeline for getting sitelinks can vary widely, but the site has been live for almost 6 months and no sitelinks.. is this unusual?

I would say that popularity has a lot to do with it, plus the overall reach of your site. The appearance of sitelinks for the misspelt two-word name variation is a very good sign that the brand is recognised and growing, and that you're on the right track as far as growth goes. I would expect sitelinks to show up for the one-word brand name if you maintain a good, quality level of link development, content promotion, social activity, etc.

Hi,

while the generation of sitelinks is fully automated as of now, I tried to look at the global search volumes for the terms,

stackstreet and stack street using Google keyword planner. It showed that the term, 'stack street' has an avg monthly search volume of 30 while the term, 'stackstreet' has none. Even the Google suggest feature does not show anything while trying to type, stackstreet in the search bar but it does suggest when you try to type, stack street.

Though it may sound weird, you can do as follows:

For 3-4 weeks, ask all your staff, family and friends to type, 'stackstreet' in Google and click on your homepage from the search results. You can ask them to do this few times a day. This will make Google learn about and recognize the search term stackstreet and possibly start showing the sitelinks for it just like it does for, 'stack street'.

Good Luck.

Best regards,
