Why do other artists' works appear during a search on my name?

Your artworks on your profile Artmajeur

All your works, and nothing that your works appear on the section WORKS of your profile on Artmajeur.

You have a unique web address (the link to your Artmajeur profile) that allows the public to access your profile, and to view ONLY your works.

Your works in search engines

In all other pages on the internet, on a Google search or on Artmajeur, there is not only your works:

All artists around the world are likely to appear in searches.

The images that appear in the searches are not classified according to a particular artist, but according to the search algorithms.

If your artist name is simply "Ernest", a search on Artmajeur or Google with the word "Ernest" will not only show your work but ALL WORKS whose description, title or author contains the term "Ernest" ".

If a great artist is also known with the first name Ernest in his artist name, he will certainly be in all search results, because the search algorithm believes that this is an important result (even if you do not look for his name in full).

What can I do to make it easy for me?

The most important thing to do is to work on your SEO.

You will quickly get results, they are directly proportional to the investment, time and energy that you put into the work of promotion and SEO of your profile.

If your artist name is "too simple", try to complete it in the logical way to make it more unique. For example, if your artist name is "Ernest", use your last name to complete it.

The more precise and unique the search terms are, the less results there are, and the more they will match the work of the desired artist, for example:

"Ernest Pontier de Chamaillard" returns only 28 000 results on Google, only works by this artist.

On the contrary, the larger and more generic they are, the more results there are. Thus, a very general search on "Artist Abstract Art" returns millions of results on Google, with works, photos and very varied contents coming from hundreds of thousands of artists

What if my artist name is too generic?

If your artist name is really too generic, it will honestly be very difficult to position yourself among millions of results, because searches on your name will irretrievably display a lot of unwanted results, without any relation to your work.

It may be interesting in this case to choose a really "original" artist name, or to add an element to your artist name to make it unique. You can help this by doing some research on Google to be sure no other artist is using this name. You can also file the corresponding trademark to protect yourself and keep the exclusive use of the name you have chosen.

WARNING: it is not a matter of denaturing your artist name by artificially adding terms for the search optimization, it will not work. This is a deeper step to change your artist name, under which you sign your works, with which you communicate, and with which the public will recognize you!
