Hello good people,

 

I can't find my website on the google results when I type my name on it.. I've done the key-words authorization into analytics like 10 days ago.. but still, I'm not found  by google..

My website works perfectly, it's online, no problem here.. but it seems that something is wrong whatever..

I've dig a bit through the helping pages of Squarespace and found that it's maybe a DNS issue.. I've tried to add a rule to the DNS but it says that I don't use a squarespace domain...

I'm a bit lost I have to say !

It's possible you have a DNS or other technical error, but unless you share your site name and URL, it would impossible for anyone to say.

However, what you've described is not really how search indexing works. Just because you've launched a site with a certain name, even an uncommon name or made-up word, doesn't mean Google will immediately rank you over longstanding pages that contain the same or similar words, even if you've submitted your site to them.

Ten days is not long. The typical rule of thumb is that it takes several weeks for any changes to have any noticeable effect on your rank and as long as 90 days or so before you see the full effect of those changes. (Actual results will vary significantly, but start with that expectation.)

There are any number of decent primers on SEO. Squarespace has one. I often send beginners to Semrush because they have some nice short videos that cover the basics. But you have to recognize that it's an entire discipline. It's many people's entire job. If you're lost, you might consider hiring help.

Hi !

Thank you for your anwser ! What you say is obvious and I think I've been just a bit naive about how it works !

I'm learning it by myself and already upgraded a bit my knowledge, and I'll continue !

Thanks again !
