Naming is pretty poor, a super popular Japanese figure company has that name, so SEO is spotty. The main site is at 4th ranked in search from what I see, but every single other result in Google is related to the toy company.

Yeah the internet is a crowded place. "figma design" works as a search query for it. Also "figma" is pretty easy to figure out how to spell and say according to the phonological rules of English, so that's all helpful.

    Try using an "incognito" browser window (without any state about your previous browsing history.) Google ranks results based on your search history etc.

      It adjusts based on your location too, so browsing in incognito might not be sufficient.

      #1 result for me in the Netherlands in Incognito is also http://www.figma.jp/en/figma/ http://www.figma.jp/en/figma/, fwiw. Though figma.com is second.

The design app "Sketch" has an even poorer name, and they have done very well for themselves. I don't know how long it took, but they are my #1 result for the Google search keyword sketch. Also, I believe at this point in time, doesn't everyone have slightly different Google results? Google tracks users for this reason, among others: to give them more relevant search results. For instance, when I google the word figma I get this design application as my #1 result [0]. I assume your tastes and browsing habits have informed Google that you are more likely looking for action figures rather than design software. 0. https://i.imgur.com/l3SpTpl.png https://i.imgur.com/l3SpTpl.png
