I’m facing an issue with how users find my website on Google. When they try to search for my site’s name, "AcuaNet," Google automatically corrects it to "AquaNet." If they don’t select the option to search for the exact term, they can’t find my page at all. This is significantly affecting my website’s traffic, as many users are unable to access the site directly by its name and are forced to include additional terms like "AcuaNet Spain" to locate it.

By default, my website is primarily targeted at users in Spain, and most browsers accessing it are set to Spanish. I’ve noticed that this issue is specific to searches conducted in Spanish, as Google doesn’t attempt to correct the term when the search language is set to English. It seems to be a problem related to Google’s autocorrection or translation behavior in Spanish, which mistakenly assumes the user intended to type "AquaNet" instead of "AcuaNet."

Is there any way to prevent this behavior and ensure my website appears correctly in search results?

I'm in the UK, and also have to click the non-autocorrect button to see the results.

I suspect the major problem is that your site is too small to currently be treated as a brand. Google tend not to translate brand names it recognises.

Assuming your site is the one I think it is, then you appear below scraper sites like Webscorer and your asking this question on Google (though those sites are in English, so likely to be given a boost in my SERPs for that). Again, this suggests that your site is not particularly visible to Google, presumably lacking backlinks.

Ultimately, you can't change how Google functions, so this is going to be about signalling to Google that you are a brand and the keyword exists. Quality, relevant and not spam backlinks that feature your brand name should eventually signal to Google that it's a separate brand, though that can be slow work getting them. If relevant, then things like a Google Business Profile are worth setting up, too. Anything that signals that this is a brand.

Also, PPC is probably not going to be too expensive if you are running it against a term Google don't even recognise. If you have the budget, that may be the temporary solution whilst you work on brand awareness.

  • According to what you have told me I will start working on it. It is a statistics platform for fishermen here in Spain. At the moment we have little traffic so I will try to put some balance in google ads to start making google recognize the name. Commented Jan 11 at 20:54
