Ever seen a message like that on google? Works more or less ok when you have a search query misprint or smth, but really crushes the experience about brands content. Like "Did you mean:", actually No, I didn't!
Rather often when search for small companies, brands, products google adds its "Did you mean:" with several other options. That seems really annoying for webmasters who try to build beautiful UX and SO to have as much leads as possible.
Ever wanted to remove such message? Me all the time. At least to update its primitive and catchy design. Seems the only way to do that is to convince google that users aren't mistaken and that's really what they search for and what they need. Well, a brand/query needs a bigger amount of search traffic then. Usually webmasters don't have a possibility for that, the amount of searches isn't enough anyhow. Nothing else to do then, no alternative with such an alternative.
There's an idea like to try to optimize content for the keywords that "Did you mean:" offers. At least there will be a search list picture that has more logical structure view, that includes branded content, some titles, descriptions, etc. of the words google suggests. Probably and luckily this "Did you mean:" message will then soon won't be shown.

Web search is just so primitively untrue sometimes.
