It's a common scenario: The new website is live, but when searching for the company name or relevant keywords, it doesn't appear at the top of the results. Don't worry – this is completely normal in the early stages.
Here are the most common reasons and what we do about them:
1. Indexing Duration (Google Bot)
Google first needs to “crawl” (visit) your website and add it to the index. Depending on the size of the site, this can take between a few days and two weeks.
What we do: We have already submitted your XML sitemap in the Google Search Console to speed up the process.
2. The "Sandbox" Phenomenon
New domains or radically redesigned websites are often evaluated cautiously by Google at first. It takes some time for Google to recognize the professional authority of your new content.
3. Missing Content for Specific Keywords
If you want to be found for a specific keyword (e.g., "Marketing Agency Berlin"), this keyword must be strategically placed in your texts and metadata.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I check if my site is indexed at all?
Enter the following in the Google search: site:ihredomain.de. If results appear, the site is basically indexed.
Has the "No-Index" block been removed?
During development, we often use protection so that Google cannot see the construction site.
Status: This is routinely removed by us when the site goes live. If you still have doubts, we will be happy to check this for you.
Does loading time affect my ranking?
Yes. Google uses the so-called Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor. Our web development already optimizes your site for:
Minimized file sizes (images/scripts)
Fast server response times
Optimal mobile display
