Google is investigating a possible issue with its search results where Google is not ranking *****-oriented sites for its brand name in some regions. Instead, Google ranks the ***** site’s help and support section above the home page for its name.

John Mueller from Google responded this morning on X saying, “I’ve been looking into it with the team. I’ll let you know when we have more to share.” He added, “it might just be things that we’ll improve on our side,”

Here is a screenshot from Vicky showing the drop:
She also shared how this is impacting her competitor:
