We find with the vast majority of our client's websites it takes a little while for Google to notice you. Give it a bit of time and I'm sure you'll start seeing your brand name up there. And as pointed out above, get some high quality links pointing at your sites and you'll start to see some improvements.

Thanks for the response. I understand the importance of link building and such but is it normal for my site to not rank _at all _for when searching for it? I've checked every single search result page and couldn't find any pages to my site.
I guess my question is: is Google 'hiding' my site until I get more authority?
Thanks again for the help.

Congratulations on launching your new website! You currently don't really have any links pointing to http://www.indigolune.com, which is going to make it hard for Google to consider your site important relative to other sites on the web that have your keywords in the title. You need to find a way to get websites to link to yours in order to increase your authority. Social shares are nice, but they alone will not do the trick.
Here is Moz's basic primer on links and link building, but I think a simple start would be with a single press release announcing the launch of your new business. This won't get you a ton of links, and they will be pretty low quality, but they will be a start. Also, consider reaching out to friends, family, coworkers, business partners, associates, etc. to see if they would be willing to write a blog post about you launching your new website. Even just a couple of participants may be sufficient to get you ranking for your brand.
Good luck!

Removing a site from Google index with no index met tags
Hi there! I wanted to remove a duplicated site from the google index. I've read that you can do this by removing the URL from Google Search console and, although I can't find it in Google Search console, Google keeps on showing the site on SERPs. So I wanted to add a "no index" meta tag to the code of the site however I've only found out how to do this for individual pages, can you do the same for a entire site? How can I do it? Thank you for your help in advance! L

Should you use google url remover if older indexed pages are still being kept?
Hello, A client recently did a redesign a few months ago, resulting in 700 pages being reduced to 60, mostly due to panda penalty and just low interest in products on those pages. Now google is still indexing a good number of them ( around 650 ) when we only have 70 on our sitemap. Thing is google indexes our site on average now for 115 urls when we only have 60 urls that need indexing and only 70 on our sitemap. I would of thought these urls would be crawled and not found, but is taking a very long period of time. Our rankings haven't recovered as much as we'd hope, and we believe that the indexed older pages are causes this. Would you agree and also would you think removing those old urls via the remover tool would be best option? It would mean using the url remover tool for 650 pages. Thank you in advance

Unnatural Link Warning Removed - WMT's
Hi, just a quick one. We had an unnatural link warning for one of our test sites, the message appeared on the WMT's dashboard. The message is no longer there, has it simply expired or could this mean that Google no longer sees an unatural backlink profile? Hoping it's the latter but doubtful as we haven't tried to remove any links.. as I say it's just a test site. Thanks in advance!

Google Knowledge Graph related question
I have a client who is facing age discrimination in the film industry. (Big surprise there.) The problem is, when you type in his name, Google's new Knowledge Graph displays a brief bio about him to the right of the search results. This bio snippet includes his year of birth. Wikipedia is credited as the source for the bio information about him, and yet, his Wikipedia entry doesn't include his age or birth date. Neither does his iMDb bio. So the question is, How can he figure out where Google is getting that birthdate from? He wants to try and remove it, not falsify it. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Remove a directory using htaccess
Hi, Can someone tell me if there's a way using htaccess to say that everything in a particular directory, let's call it "A", is gone (http 410 code)? i.e. all the links should be de-indexed? Right now, I'm using the robots file to deny access. I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do since Google webmaster tools is showing me the link as indexed still and a 403 error code. Thanks.

Is it possible for someone outside an organization to remove links?
The other day I used the Explorer tool to check my links. I checked again today, and the strongest links, which have been on my site for many months, are no longer listed on the report. I'm wondering if there has been some malicious activity. If the links have been removed, how do you get them back?
