: Why doesn't Google return the main page when searching for the exact domain? I'm trying to figure out a problem for one of my clients. I have to mention that I've not developed the website

I'm trying to figure out a problem for one of my clients. I have to mention that I've not developed the website and the company that has done the development can not be contacted anymore.

The the website's domain is sav-ante.fr. The odd thing with this website is that when you type: "sav-ante" in the Google search box (french Google), the URL which is returned is sav-ante.fr/en/contact/contact-form.html‎.
Is there any one who can explain to me what king of configuration I have to add/modify in order for the returned URL to be sav-ante.fr/fr (which is how the DNS is configured).

Google is a search engine, not a DNS server. If you want to see how DNS is configured for a name, type that name into your browser's location. It will find the web server attached to that name.

Google uses "bots" to visit all the pages of a website and indexes the words it finds on each page. When you search for a term like "sav-ante", it looks through all the pages for that term, ranks them, and returns them in sorted order.

So if you want a term to go to a particular page, use that term on the page and in the meta tags. Also, have other websites link to that page because Google's Page Rank increases the rank of pages according to the number of links to it.
