So a client has been using a domain for years now just for email. They recently had me attach a website to that domain about 2 months ago, but it still is not indexed with Google. I already set everything up with Google Search Console 2 months ago (registered the site, had it crawled, asked it to be indexed, made sure it had a good load time, made sure it was not being blocked by a robots.txt or metatags, etc.) but it still is not showing up. I've also confirmed that it does not appear to be a flagged domain for spam or Blackhat SEO.

Is there anything else I can try to get Google to index it? Also, is this a problem that can be caused by using an old domain like this, or is it likely something else?

FYI: It is indexed on Bing

[EDIT]

Okay I checked back this morning and Google finally indexed the site; however, it is showing up on the 5th page of SERPs in Google even when typing in the exact name of the company, but 1st result on Bing. Google REALLY is discriminating against this domain (https://rapllclaw.com/)

They are not an SEO client; so, I don't need them showing up 1st, but they should atleast show up on the first page for a proper name query.
