: How do I make it clear to Google that my domain name contains `www` like www.wwwexample.com? I've noticed that domain names containing www (e.g., http://www.wwwexample.com) sometimes are ranked
I've noticed that domain names containing www (e.g., www.wwwexample.com) sometimes are ranked lower in search results.
I have also noticed that Google assumes it to be example.com. For example,
my domain name has the format of wwwexample.com, and when I search on it, the first results are not my domain, but the one with www omitted (i.e., example.com). Both of these domains however refer to totally different content.
Is there any strategy or approach to making it clear to Google that it's actually wwwexample.com and not example.com?

Using www in a domain name like wwwexample.com is likely confusing to users and Google as well, since www is usually a subdomain.
If you're not open to reconsidering the domain name, then the following strategy should be helpful:
You should probably 301 redirect wwwexample.com to the root domain wwwexample.com to make the URL and links a bit clearer to users.
Setup a Google Webmasters Tools account wwwexample.com and verify it.
Tell Google that the preferred domain is wwwexample.com
Submit a sitemap containing links to just wwwexample.com
Make sure your titles and content state wwwexample.com (without any space after the www)
Try to obtain as many (quality) backlinks from other sites to help Google build trust and recognition for wwwexample.com
