Site doesn't rank for its own exact brand name. Content + links done. What am I missing?

crownau77.info, Casino site, AU market. Live for a while now, has had content published and link work done on it. Searching the exact brand name does not return the site anywhere near the top. Would appreciate it if anyone can point out what's causing this and what the fix looks like.
 
i’d check indexing canonical tags brand mentions and search console for any manual action or indexing issue first if the exact brand still doesn’t rank i’d investigate the site’s overall trust and whether google is clearly associating the brand with the domain
 
It's not a unique brand, there are possibly tens of similar names that have existed and ranked for years.

You domain is also on .info extension, perhaps, there are similar domains on mainstream extensions like com, net, and others.
 
I’d check GSC first especially indexing manual actions and the links pointing to the site If the exact brand isn’t showing I’d look there before doing more link building
 
Bro - You need more high authority backlinks for brand - crownau77 linked with crownau77.ino URL in order to overcome the results from other websites.
 
casino niche, .info, brand name that isnt unique.. google has no reason to believe you ARE the brand man. thats the whole problem, not links

"content + links done" means nothing for a brand query if none of those links say the brand name. google connects a brand to a domain through mentions, not juice. check your anchors, i bet 90% are keyword anchors or naked urls and almost nothing says crownau77

what fixed it for me on similar sites.. social profiles with the exact name pointing home, few web2.0 buffers with the brand in the title and text, brand name as the anchor on those, then tier those buffers so they actually get crawled. a month or so of brand mention links and the exact match query usually sorts itself

also being honest, casino on a .info with a generic name is fighting uphill from day one. works but takes longer than it would on a proper domain
