Blog not ranking for my name

[james.crowley]

Hi everyone. I'm new here so apologies if I'm not asking an appropriate question - just let me know!

Can anyone help me figure out why my blog (https://www.jamescrowley.net/) isn't ranking at all for my name? I've run it through the standard Moz audit tools and it hasn't picked up any major issues.

It ranks fine for my name plus " CTO", but doesn't appear anywhere in the top 50 without that qualifier. I realise there are many other 'James Crowley's to compete with but weirdly even my GitHub profile page appears to rank higher (https://github.com/jamescrowley)

I moved the domain a while back (18 months+) and I used to rank highly, but it never seems to have recovered (all the standard redirects are in place, and told Google at the time about the move).

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

I created a blog on FaceApp, and I'm facing the same issue there too.

So if your business is not ranking on Google, even for your own brand name, you do have to check whether the pages and blog posts have been indexed?

For example we've had websites built by some website designers, such as a WordPress website, where the "no index" have is left on so it can't be indexed.

So sometimes, let's say the website is brand-new, sometimes it can take a while to get indexed,.

A lot of Cardiff SEO business we talk to also believe, a new website goes to something called the sandbox period, so sometimes it can take a while for a new website actually to appear in Google if it is a brand-new company website that's just been built.
