Not having a sitelinks on the legit website after 2 years

  • Our startup’s website doesn’t have sitelinks even after being online for 2 years.

    At the beginning we had just an html landing page, with anchor links. That variant had sitelinks (what actually surprised me).
    Almost two years ago we switched to WordPress and YOAST and since then we do not have sitelinks. I first thought that it was just a temporary issue and that they will return, but nothing changes through time.

    We have good original content on the website related to our product. We have a decent amount of good backlinks. There is no reason not to have sitelinks and there are no manual actions taken on it in the search console.

    It feels to me that there is some technical issue that causes it, I just can’t figure out what it could be.

    Couple of things that I noticed when I try to search “convoworks”:

    1. As the domain name is convoworks.com, Google asks: did you mean “convo works”. I had several projects before which had similar domain names to usual phrases, and it usually took just a couple of months for Google to stop suggesting the phrase.

    2. Bing – doesn’t even return the main domain in the results. It was there before, but not anymore.

    3. Yep – Returns our GitHub repository on the first place, convoworks.com is on the second place, with sitelinks.

    It is a really strange situation and I would appreciate any help with it.

    As I can’t find an error among the usual suspects, I’ll ask on Google forum.
    Thanks for your response anyway!
