How does Google determine search result order?
Google has a large index of keywords that help determine search results. What sets Google apart is how it ranks its results, which determines the order Google displays results on its search engine results pages. Google uses a trademarked algorithm called PageRank, which assigns each Web page a relevancy score.
How does Google decide what websites to return in a search result and in what order?
Google renders the page and analyzes both the text and non-text content and overall visual layout to decide where it can appear in Search results. The better that Google can understand your site, the better we can match it to people who are looking for your content.
How do search results get ordered?
Search engines display their results as an ordered list. The list is ‘ranked’ with the most relevant websites (as determined by the search engine’s ranking algorithm) highest on the first page of returns.
What typically is listed first in a list of search results?
People tend to view the first results on the first page. Each page of search engine results usually contains 10 organic listings (however some results pages may have fewer organic listings).

If you regularly search for similar keywords, Google will remember this, offering you results based on prior searches. This can be especially misleading for businesses used to searching their own company name or specific keywords on a regular basis.
What to do if Google is not indexing your website?
Turn off safe search, which might be filtering your results. For a missing page: Search Google for the full URL of your page.
