hypeaccount··on Why is Google charging me $5-10 per click for my own brand name searches
Previously people suggested to use Google Ads to counter it.

But it's extremely expensive. I am paying sometimes $20-40 per click. Just to sell a $5 product.

It's insane.

All of the top 10 Google search results are third-party articles that link to my website. However, my actual website doesn’t even appear in the top 40 results.

As a result, I’m losing sales — people keep telling me they can’t find my site directly. The only current solution seems to be paying Google $5–$10 per click to show up in search.

hypeaccount··on Google Doesn't Rank My Site for My Own Brand Name
I am not able to rank for my own brand name, it's not crowded. All the pages that are ranking from other websites (linkedin, facebook, x) are owned by me.

The website is 1 year old.

All pages that rank are for my own business, but all are above me.
