My Page Does Not Show In Google?

Your view counts are very low. While google does come in to sniff around, you have to advertise out, you need to be on social media and have lots of connections.

You can't enter that entire line either in quotes, if that's what you did, it will look for that exact phrase.

Also google has a tendency to show faa search results and not really go to the main page. If you go to google images you are on top.

You should not use the word ART in your name!

On every page I see art listed twice. Helga Blanke Photo Art Art

Just your name would be better! Helga Blanke

Thanks Mike for your answere.
I am on twitter and facebook with 2 pages, and have messages regularly. Maybe I should make a paid advertisement?
Your right in images I am on top, but those are from my dutch/european site and my own site. There are only a few from Pixels and
FAA doesn't show at all.
I surely haven't used the quotes in google, that was just to seperate it from the rest of this message.

Thanks Jessica for your answere.
I have seen that also, as that is the name of my other sites, which I already had, I made it the same here, but maybe I should change it.

Nothing paid is needed. You have to advertise everywhere, get on blogs etc. Have many links coming in. The fact you have photo art in your name as pointed out - doesn't help you because it acts like a filter. It takes a long time before google places you from the sandbox to the main search. Often up to a year. I think they like proper named stores over the subdirectories the site likes using.

So like mikesavad.com comes up better than the fine art version. But it takes a while.

Be sure to add #hashtags to your posts on twitter. Or you won't be found there.

Thanks Mike for your tips.
I will change the name, but before I can do that I have to change a few other things or I won't be found at all.
Never used #hashtags so I will start with that also. Thanks.

It does take time (and the actions Mike + Jessica outlined). I remember when I was in the same boat - been here since mid-2019.
Now when I google (incognito) [ "Western Exposure" art ] , the first item is a block of 15 images and the second item is a 5 image link straight to FAA.

Helga, when and if you change it you need to ask Abbie to also change your URL Only she can do that.

I'm not seeing your Premium site?

@Helga
remember that the results also change according to the country with which google physically places you ...
usually the best results of fineartamerica appear almost exclusively on goggle usa and canada.

Thanks Western Exposure for your answere.
I have been here since jan 2022 so I guess I have to be a bit more patient. Although, I said I would change the name, and I don't doubt everyone's expertise for a moment, I still ask myself if it is sensible to change the name, as there are more Helga Blanke's on the world, with exact the same name. Besides that, everything has that same name so that is a bit of a problem.

@Jessica
Thanks Jessica for the tip!
My premium site is online https://helga-blanke.pixels.com/ but is named helga blanke. That is also the case with the main page..so that might be the reason. I guess I changed the name afterwards without having the url changed.

@Stefano
Thanks, didn't know that either. Although I did use .com

I see! Now that one you can have photo art in the title!

Thanks Jessica and everyone for your info!
