Google help

[walkerlee]

My website comes up top when I type in my company name, but does not appear at all when I search under the name of my biggest selling product. I have included meta keywords and meta tags in the homepage. Does anyone know how to do this or do I have to wait for Google to update their site?

Google takes a lot of time, frustration and effort. Search the forum and you will see lots of information that will help you with Google related issues.

My website comes up top when I type in my company name

Thats a good start. It took me months to get this - as a result of having a company name built up a common words.

I find that popular products (that are sold by many of my competitors) are very hard to get a decent listing, but a search on many other products (not quite so popular) get me a high listing. This happened after about 6 months of being online.

google is very hard work as someone said earlier, it has taken me over a year to get in top ten

you need loads of links as well!!

plus it is probably worth , paying for a site submission service , as i found they do work

There is a lot of advice on here for "SEO" and Google and well worth checking out if you have not already done so.

It may be worth posting a link to your site for someone to take a look over to see if here is anything obvious that could be done to help the site along further

Thanks guys,

The product I inlcuded on my home page is Rubio Monocoat (We are the UK agents and it is a wee bit embarassing not appearing on google when you do a search). The site is still in a bit of a mess as I am trying to juggle between 2 jobs at the mo.

Thanks again,

First things first - the homepage text is mainly a huge image file - this needs to be plain text for Google et all to be able to index and read properly.

[acompton]

And Google only lists one page for your site, so it is not yet admitting any other pages exist, and won't list them in a search.

Search on this forum for "google" and "indexing". your site might also be in the sandbox, so search this forum for that word as well.

If you have a unique product(s), you should get a very high ranking, once Google has indexed the page.

Thanks,

I will remove the Newsletter and return to the original text. If I include Rubio Monocoat in the first few sentences will this help?

[jont]

Yes. Try placing the keyword between <h1> tags to provide added importance. As ever be careful about spamming the keywords too many times - it should read natural to a human

[RuralWeb]

Your title tag is showing as "Home" without this changing to include your key phrase your will never rank well for it.

[walkerlee]

Thanks

Thanks guys,

I have changed a few parts around and am going to jig things about to make the site look atleast slightly professional.

Any better?

Right guys I have tweaked things a wee bit. Also updated my sitemap to Google Webmaster. Should the refreshed website help my chances of PSK Marketing appearing when a person searches for Rubio Monocoat.

A thing I noticed - the Title of the homepage is: Home of....
I would remove 'Home of' and perhaps add your name onto the end such as:
Rubio Monocoat PSK Marketing Ltd
