This answer should deal with your questions:

How do search engines find relevant content?

The only thing you can do when everything is perfectly optimal is getting backlinks, interacting with other sites, get a community, maintain your content.

Its widely speculated that there is something called sandbox effect.
So please wait before any drastic measures.

And meanwhile, browse the higher ranked websites on your search critieria for more room for improvement on your own SEO rankings.

Apparently you're website is new? there are probably thousand of website launched every day and crawler trying hard to get the most of them.

if this happened then you need to leverage your website to get indexed.

after you're done with you in-page SEO then you need to get inbound link (link from other website to your website). please do search around for there are many good article about inbound link.
