I made a page for a website (website A) I'm responsible for. I made sure the SEO is correct. This one got to position 1 in Google very fast. On the second website (website B) I copied exactly the same content and SEO. It is indexed by Google but it isn't showing in the results (I've waited 3-4 weeks before checking). Even when I scroll down the pages of results. It seems Google just don't want this site (website B) in its results!

Does anyone have a clue?

That is normal and expected behaviour and in SEO-terms that's called Duplicate Content. So Website A got indexed before Website B, and since the content is identical, Google sees no value in positioning Website B in its search results. There is no way around the issue than to rewrite Website B's content to be unique to get that website positioned in the SERP.
