MusicBrainz doesn't seem to appear in many search results?

This is definitively an issue, I’m doing a lot of searches for artists and can confirm sites like discogs, allmusic, and metalarchives often appear on 1st google results page, and MB is perfectly invisible even when it’s the sole site of this kind having infos about an artist.
Sitemaps are submitted, googlebot is crawling, but it seems to me there’s an issue. We know the site is likely to be ranked down because it isn’t mobile compatible (but devs are working on react move, that should let us to fix that in near future).
But still my feeling is that something is wrong, because searching for a not very popular band which is in MB since years still doesn’t yield to results.

Any SEO expert around?
