Brand name search does not return our website anymore in Google, but the url does

We've done 90% of white hat SEO and our website is slowly getting more organic traffic. 1 year old, DR 40.

Recently, we noticed that, when searching for our brand name, our website doesn't show anymore in Google. Customers also reported this.

However if we search for the url or even the SLD, our website appears first in Google, as it should. Blog and all the other pages, no issue.

The only thing I can think of is this: a major brand in our space that has been around for a while has a name similar to us (minus a letter in the middle, it's a short brand name). But if that brand complained, maybe they would have reached out, or our entire website should have been penalised in Google - but it's not the case.

I checked GSC, no reports in manual actions or security issues. I also checked the google transparency report but this one is hard to navigate so couldn't really check.

What else can I checked?
How can I solve this without changing name entirely?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
