Actually I checked on Presearch, which uses Dsearch by default. Top results there are the same as Google, but it looks like @liondani bought an ad. That's good if it leads people here. I expect it would be more expensive to get the same ad visibility on Google. I don't think it needs 'conspiracy theories'. Other brands with that name are more interesting to the world. We may each see different results based on location and other factors.
We need some SEO experts to tell us what will improve visibility.

On the Presearch engine I do get the Coingeko listing plus the Hiveonboard ad. Actually DSearch gets the same. As you said, few people would use those. Most use whatever their browser defaults to.

BEER.I'd like to apologise in advance for my SEO ramblings elsewhere on the thread. The tl:dr version is: Hive.io is definitely not prey to a Google penalty, and its rankings are generally quite healthy at least in the US, but it's sorely lacking in other territories.
The main consideration for me is that it is relying almost exclusively on 8.1m backlinks (links from other sites to hive.io), rather than relying on having a competent organic SEO strategy implemented on the site itself. Hive's domain authority rating (SEMRush's statistic) gives us a score of '55', which is actually very healthy (60+ is considered excellent), so I think it any on-page/on-site tweaks could have a more potent impact that sites with, say, authority scores of 12.
ramblings are fine and appreciated 😀
