What you can do to improve your standings:

Search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc. work with spiders or crawlers that search the web for keywords in your links, content and meta tags. New websites can take up to 6 weeks to be found by spiders.

Your most important tool for search engine optimization:

Your content will be your most valuable asset. Try to use words that are appropriate to describe your business and services. Use the keywords preferably in the first paragraph of your page copy. Read more about content considerations you should make.

Is your domain name search engine friendly?

Of course, we all want our domain name to match our business name and to be easily remembered by customers. Is it the most effective for search engine optimization though? Most likely not. We recommend our customers in addition to their company name to purchase a domain that will be representative of their location or area of service and include keywords. For example: sandiego-graphicdesign.com, vista-webdesign.com

Other SEO considerations

Flash websites are not easily recognized by search engines and are therefore not appropriate for all needs. Paid insertions with search engines will improve if not guaranty your fast insertions and standings in the search results.

You can improve your standings by asking your business partners/suppliers to include a link to your site into their website. The more links you have pointing to your website the higher you will rank.
