 * Hi guys, this might sound like a ridiculous question,
    but is there a way to 
   make your page be the first to appear in Google Search when typing out the website’s
   name? My page ([thais-breton.com](http://thais-breton.com)) currently appears
   only page 2 or 3, because there are heaps of other random websites on which my
   name appears before that. Thank you so much in advance for your help!

 * it does for me, try clearing your browser’s cache and deleting your search history
   too so you attack google with a blank slate…

 * Hey guys!
    I don’t know what you typed but it’s not working for me no matter 
   how many times I reset my safari. What I mean is that when I type “thais breton”
   or even “thais-breton” in Google search, the website appears on the 2nd page 
   only..

 * i think we may have all been searching for thais-breton.com…
 * all you can really do to make your site move up the google listings is make sure
   it’s full of content (fresh content too, keep adding new stuff), use an SEO plugin(
   SEO by Yoast is very very good) and stuff your posts full of relevant tags.
 * unless you want to buy your way to the top as google will happily take your cash
   in exchange for a good ranking! 😀

 * on such a specific search phrase, I think that you should be able to improve 
   your SEO. However, it isn’t as straightforward as you might think as [@jack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jack/)
   randal indicates. Content is the key. Post stuff. Use your search phrases in 
   the content and use a good SEO plugin to strengthen those search phrases. Fresh,
   relevant content is always going to help you. Especially words. Research SEO 
   and video. I found this book helpful: [http://buildingfindablewebsites.com/](http://buildingfindablewebsites.com/)

 * Go to [http://www.google.com/webmasters/](http://www.google.com/webmasters/)
   
   Set up your account, read and follow their advice.
 * They will give you a tracking code. They also have a file you can place in your
   root directory with FTP instead of editing the WP files.
