I have a nicely working glide app (assemblycare.org) with a custom domain name. Its been running several years. When I go to google and search Assembly Care Ministries (which is very specific to our website and not at all a search term that would have lots of competition) our site doesn’t come up at all on any of the first 3 or 4 pages. Are there some basics about GlideApps and custom domains that someone could point me to. I feel like something might not be set up right with my app/site (which seems to run great otherwise). Or is this just a feature of GlideApps… that they don’t really do SEO at all?
Yes, it is feature.

Glide explicitly changed its approach and now prevents apps from being indexed by search engines. This decision was made for security reasons and is a fundamental security measure within the platform. The majority of Glide users utilize the platform to create apps for business purposes, often creating private and internal applications that they do not want the public to find.

I see you’re using your GlideApp as a website. What I would recommend in your case, is to create your website using an easy CMS like Wordpress for instance.
If you’re not tech-savvy, just download a theme (definitely not a fan of using themes, but for non-tech people this could be useful). Optimize the website using SEO-optimized content (download Yoast plugin for WP) and link to the GlideApp on a subdomain.
