Hello,
3-4 days ago I completed my website that converts word to pdf (formatpdf.com) and I published it on Google search. Indeed my website is indexed by Google, but I can't find it under any keyword except when I type "site:formatpdf.com". SEO and speed scores of my website are positive.

I am aware that my website is completely new and I have some competitors, but I expected I will get at least 50-100 visitors.
Is my website poor? Should I wait more time for indexing me higher?

I know that my website is nothing special, because it only converts word to pdf (I will add more tools in future), but I think it sill deserves for some traffic.

Main keyword for my website should be: "convert word to pdf" or something like this.

Do you have any ideas?
Thanks
 
There is nothing wrong as there is Google & Google sometimes takes time to get indexed a new website or Blog.

So you should wait until your website doesn't get index.
 
My website is (and was) already indexed by Google, but I am still concerned, because it is not even in top 100 for "convert word to pdf" keyword.
Should I still wait even few months for improvement, or maybe do something in order to improve my SEO scores (that are not bad) ?

Here are stats from Google analytics

I could be the fact that it's higher competition then you thought. Did you build any links to it? Is the onpage done correctly? Maybe use serpbook and follow your rankings so your not manually looking for it everyday.
 
Why did you expect 50-100 visitors? That is not a realistic expectation for Google to send you 50-100 visitors in few days, or few weeks, or few months.

When you search "convert word to pdf" for example, there are about 345,000 results. Why should Google rank your site in the top 200 of those results?

I have a website up with 10 mostly original (re-written by hand, native English speaker with University education) articles, lots of social media bookmarks and strong social media presence, and even little blackhat backlinks, and it gets less than 5 hits per month from Google after 6 months.

Is your site added to Google Webmaster Tools? The best thing you can do is keep building backlinks, social media promotion, and write some articles on your website, then watch Google Webmaster Tools to keep track of where your website is showing up to see what words you should target more.

This can take months before you really see your website showing up naturally in Google search in Top 200.
 
The advice and expectations of SocialManager are spot on. Expect it to take one to three months just to come up on the first page when users search for the name of your website -- and that's if the name you are targeting is unique and you are using SEO best practices.

Oh, It is my first website I published and I didn't think so that it is so difficult XD

Yes, it is added to Google Webmaster Tools.
I was thinking about social media, articles etc., but honestly I think there is nothing interesting to write about pdf/word converters.
I saw that my competitors don't have any articles, but they have few thousand backlinks, so I think I have to focus on backlinks.

Yes, it is still onepage, but I will add more converters in future.
I didn't build any backlinks.

Can you give me some ideas or examples how and where can I build backlinks for my website. Please keep in mind that my website is not blog or shop and it is not very rich in content.
 
As advised above - what does your Search Console show you?
It should clarify your positions at least

3-4 days is too early to get lots (or any) organic traffic
What is your monetization model? Ads? Have you considered buying traffic? As getting organic wouldn't be fast or easy.
 
3 days? Lol you expect too much. There's people here still cannot get 50 hits daily within 3 months.
 
Google Search Console shows nothing except performance

I created this threat 7 days ago, so it's about 10-11 days (of course it is still too early)
 
It is your first website. Did you really think you could just launch a website and be the number one in Google in four days?

SEO is a long term goal. It could take a year, depending on competition, to hit the top ten.

You have a lot to learn.
 
There's nothing

Don't worry this is normal for 1-3 weeks. If nothing after 3 weeks, you need to add more information to your website. Search on Google "how to convert pdf" and look for articles that other people wrote. Now create a "blog" on your website (install wordpress to like formatpdf.com/blog/) and copy/paste those articles to be new posts on your blog. You can use "article spinner" or change some of the words around yourself, but even 100% copy paste can be OK just so Google has some more words to make you show up for. Then in 2 weeks after making some of those posts, you should see results in Google Search Console. It's not just backlinks, you also need more words.

Think about how Google works. If your website only has 1 page, it has very few words for Google to show in response to searches from users. The more words you have, the better.
 
I saw nothing for my first few weeks. In fact, just checking my search console I didn't see anything above 1 hit per day for the first 3 months!

After some time and backlinks I'm finally getting an average of 10 a day and growing but patience is necessary for this.

It takes time to get ranked my any keywords, in the meanwhile you should optimize your website with you targeted keyword.
 
You want your site to be on the first page and first spot on the page? Just promote using google AdWord

it takes atleast 3 months for a website to get noticed start submitting your website on relevant sites and check results after 90 to 100 days.
