So I'm with James in that you should leave it a few days and see what happens. Google quite often tests results in different positions to see whether the site is a good result. It may be that your optimisations caused Google to start testing the pages for that term, Google may have decided the site isn't a good result or may still be testing.
Without knowing the brand of the site (which I understand you likely can't share) I couldn't comment on what level of competition you might be getting for the brand name but if it's something generic, or something which could be used to describe a whole industry or product, a new site might struggle.
It is also worth considering what James said about the links. How did you get them? Google may think that they are low value links. That could mean the links become devalued (don't have any real impact) or the site might be penalised, in which case it's quite possible not to rank for the brand name. It might be worth doing a quick backlink audit on the site and getting rid of dodgy links regardless of what happens with this specific ranking.

Hello James,
the website pages all indexed so the homepage, nothing in the search console.

Why does my site rank so badly
its my turn to ask the interminable question why does my site rank so badly? site is: marriagerecords.org.uk. it was #1 for 'marriage records' on google for about 6 months. then it was 5th to 10th for about 2 months. now it is nowhere for this phrase and anything else, none of the pages I have written rank for anything. I have spent hours upon hours researching original content and I have got some great backlinks from sites like wrexham.gov.uk and somerset.gov.uk (some dont show in opensiteexplorer yet). im guessing im over-optimizing something but i'd love some concrete fixes if anyone could suggest any. thanks, tom

Not ranking on Google
Hi all, I am optimising a site which is a hotel directory for a small island in the Mediterranean - Malta. The site is www.maltahotelsonline.com. I did a keyword research and optimised the page. However I am now at link building stage. Since we do not have many links the site is still not ranking very well for the desired keywords (ranking fine on Bing and Yahoo yet not on Google). As a result there isn't much traffic on the site. 1. Is there any particular issue that you can spot on this site that is not allowing it to rank well on Google? 2. Any suggestions on link-building please?

Why do I rank so differently in Bing and Yahoo?
Howdy SEOmozers, I've noticed that I rank very differently in Bing and Yahoo compared to Google (and it’s the bad kind of different) for many of the terms that I'm targeting. Can anyone give some advice on how I can put this right or link me to some good resources about the differences in their ranking algorithms? Thanks Paul
