Homepage alignment and google search

support

Hi everyone, I have the homepage of my website : https://serkankocabas.github.io , however the alignment of the name in the homepage with the picture is not aligned, I checked the chatgpt and others, but couldn’t find a way to fit it, also, I would like to use more margins, so I can fit the title of my JMP in the homepage, this is my repository: GitHub - serkankocabas/serkankocabas.github.io , thank you so much in advance. Finally, I would like to ask, when I searched my name on Google, it doesnt come up at all although, I put it on google search console, how can I improve this? Best

I suggest that you take a look at your page in the web developer tools of your browser. There, you can fiddle around with margins etc until everything looks as you want.

Then you set these values in the custom CSS of your site.

It does show up, you are first result.

Thank you for the suggestion but I didnt understand, the webpage title is working fine in the mobile version, it is perfectly aligned with the photo I am using but in the web version, its on the left and I tried many things but the name on the header doesnt move.

The root of the alignment issue is that the container holding your name and the one for the profile picture don’t share the same dimensions.

A quick solution is to add the following code to your /assets/scss/custom.scss file:

@media (min-width: 992px) {
  .d-lg-inline-flex {
    flex: 0 0 33.33333333%;
    max-width: 33.33333333%;
    text-align: center;
    justify-content: center;
  }
}

This should center the name, aligning it with the profile picture. It will not be pixel-perfect across all window sizes, as their parent containers behave slightly differently during resizing.

I don’t quite understand what you mean.

  1. Are your pages indexed?
  2. Have you submitted a sitemap?
  3. How long ago did you submit your site?

Every page has a “reputation”. A brand new site has zero reputation but a established website, like your Uni, has a higer level of authority and will almost always rank first.

So be patient, check the GSC for indexed pages and errors, request indexing for important pages (sparingly), build your site’s credibility (add content, add backlinks ideally from your Uni bio page if possible).

Thank you so much, your suggestion for the custom scss, worked perfectly. I solved the margin problem, thanks again. It wasn’t indexed before, now I did it and I also submitted a sitemap now. For the third question, I did it a month ago. Thanks again for the all answers, much appreciated.
