I build my website using Next.js and deployed on Netlify.
But I can't find my website using google keyword search.
Only I can see using exact url.
I tried to add meta tags to head element.

Adding meta tags doesn't mean you can find your website by searching them on google

also are you using netlify domain?
American black bearOP
Yes, I am using netlify domain
something like
yoursite.netlify.app?well then it's really difficult to have your site in the top of the search result
also what are you using for your description and title?
what did you throw for query when you did a googling?
American black bearOP
my name, web developer and so on
sorry but what's your name?
American black bearOP
sam wade
title is "Sam Wade - Web Developer"
description is "I've been working on Web development for 10 years straight. Get in touch with me to know more."
haha sorry when I googled your name, I got lots of famous musicians or comedians
SEO is not something that comes easy
American black bearOP
so i searched with the keyword "sam wade web developer"
like the title
try to use "erielle developer"
sorry @American black bear as I said before, if you use netlify domain and you just hosted (less than 1month old-site), you don't have any backlinks
you can't have a good SEO
SEO is not something simple as you think
adding meta tags doesn't solve everything

did you try with "erielle developer"?
you can see the vercel website.
Do you think "erielle" is a male name or female name?
American black bearOP
male name
if you try "erielle " in the google, you should see lots of females
what???
American black bearOP
erielle developer
not only erielle
American black bearOP
you don't know?
it's a female name!!!
American black bearOP
right
correct! so guess what -
there aren't any female developers with that name
or very very few
that's why you get his vercel profile link when you type "erielle developer"
but what happens in your case???
American black bearOP
can you type "sam developer"?
you mean this?
American black bearOP
no
[sam.wade-portfolio.netlify.app](https://sam-wade-portfolio.netlify.app/)
nope, I don't get that in my result
try your query in guest mode
huh, btw they are using exactly the same template?
sorry it's a female name!
I don't think you are following me that much 🤣
nope, it's because you already visited it
try again in the guest mode
puhhh it can't be. I see lots of profiles from linkedin, behance and other strong domains
it maybe different depending on the location btw
nah

Are you sure that your web site is crawlable. You can use screaming frog and check.
