Will our band.bio page show up in search results?

Short answer

Yep, you'll usually show up in search engines after a little while.

Longer answer

How long it takes depends a bit on where else you've linked your band.bio (like on Instagram, etc.), how unique your name is, and exactly what people are searching for.

If someone searches for "BANDNAME + band" for example - which, according to our Google keyword data, happens quite often - then your chances are looking really good.

Here are a few examples:

https://www.google.com/search?q=wbr+band

https://www.google.com/search?q=Lakestaff+band

https://www.google.com/search?q=sonrise+band

https://www.google.com/search?q=dont+ask+band

‍

It often works even without adding "band," provided your name isn't too ambiguous:

https://www.google.com/search?q=sonrise

https://www.google.com/search?q=Lakestaff

‍

Keep in mind that search engine results depend on location, language, and search history. So, your exact ranking can vary a bit based on those factors.

Redirecting your own domain to your band.bio can also boost visibility, especially if that domain already had some traction. Ideally, you should use a direct, server-side 301 redirect. The second-best option is a 0-second meta refresh (<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=...">) if you can only upload an HTML file.

We also automatically set page titles, descriptions, and preview images using your band name, genre, and location so that search engines can categorize your page correctly.
