The Web Is Fantastic

This is a huge problem. Search engines never find indie stuff that answers my question any more. Instead, they find huge websites that are only tangentially relevant to my query.

I used to often have people tell me "I was looking for a solution to a problem with Django and found your blog, thanks!". Now they find an unanswered question on SO instead.

Maybe your site is just unappealing and has bad UX? Have you tried adding adsense, tracking scripts, cookie consent banners, auto playing videos, scrolljacking, newsletter popovers and put the content after a long GPT generated background story at the bottom of the site to make it more appealing to PageRa.. I mean users?

Don't forget the obligatory "we care about your privacy" popup with the options "accept all" and "manually click three thousand checkboxes".
