It’s a shame. Google used to be a lot better at telling what the original site was.
They overcomplicated their own algorithm and this is the result.

Github has always been a great way to rank for certain search phrases. I use to put the front-end build code on Github with a link from the main website and then a disclaimer in the README of the homepage URL (and sales pitch), and Github would frequently outrank the main page and often at the #1 spot for actionable search phrases.
This guy had no website until 2 weeks ago, did a bit of SEO and is wondering why it's not up there yet. He can also report the impersonation site to the Google Web Safety team, there are forms to fill out, and with the reach of his application I'm sure it'll get expedited (it seems he may have already, but it takes some time). He is a dumb ass for not putting up a simple static landing page on the root domain to begin with.

Yeah, I mean the fake one is even showing at #1, compared to what he said in his story where the fake site was showing at #2
The real site isn’t even on the first page at all for that search term and it’s just nuts
A lot of that happens on Google Ads with people buying ads to pretend they're official website of an app but it's malware instead. Interesting to see the seo version lol.
