I can't find our website with any keywords on Google

There are a ton of factors that go into this.

For starters, I googled 'Textita' and did not see your homepage on the first page of Google, that's not a great sign. I was able to find a link to your site though and gave it a look, I noticed the title tag for your homepage is set to 'Bypass Phone Verification' - I would recommend changing that to the company name instead (this is likely the reason why your site is not found when searching your brand name).

You say you tried everything, but what does everything mean? I do not see any additional content on your website beyond the homepage and a couple other pages. Have you invested in content at all? It's next to impossible to get a website to rank without having supporting content (Google strongly favors websites that demonstrate expertise, authority, and trust).

What keywords are you searching for?

For those, who is outranking you? How old are those websites? How established are they as authorities in the industry? What type of content is ranking for those keywords?

Have you set up Google Search Console? Are you getting any data as to how your site performs in search? Are there any queries people are using in order to get to your website?

Overall the site looks a bit amateur (by that I mean it could use some real UX love. I give this feedback carefully as I got the same when I first joined IndieHackers and it hurt, but it is important to give).

Google does not care about the styling of your website but they do care about the quality of content in the search results and whether people stick around or bounce right off. If Google is ranking content that people will bounce off of, it's not a good look for Google so they do pay attention to user activity on a website. I would recommend finding a designer/website developer or browsing website designs on a site like Dribbble and finding some inspiration there as you may be able to improve the overall look of your website.

An example of what I mean:
-The features list may be keyword-rich but it's not very readable and many people will pass over it and leave your website.
-The alignment of elements is a bit off (I would center the video, it looks strange left-aligned)
-There is a white gap between the blue section and the footer, etc.

All of this can be subtly jarring to the site visitor, give them a lack of confidence in your website and that will hurt your ability to convert visitors to customers, and build trust with Google.

You don't have to create the best looking and most sophisticated website, but a website that is nicely designed and looks professional will go a long way towards building trust.

Say something nice to irishgeoffrey…
