Know-How Exchange : Website Critique

Google, Yahoo, and other search engines list you when they find you and catalog your pages. This takes some time.

Sometimes there are places on the search engine where you can submit you page to be scanned and speed up the process. Should work, though the few times I have done it haven't seemed to made much difference.

The other way they find you is through links to you. If there are sites that link to you, and that site get scanned, you will then get scanned. One way would be to have your partners link to you from their web sites (and you should link to their sites). Another way would be to buy advertising on a site that links to you (say on the yellow pages - your business would seem to be a decent one for yellow pages listing). Also being in business directories and local directories (local chamber of commerce, etc.) could get you scanned by a search engine.

On content - on first glance, it seems good. Perhaps add some before pictures to go with the after pictures (they may have been there - I didn't look that closely). You may want to add some positive comments from customers who have used you in the past.

Content-wise, if you're hoping to sell something from this homepage, you need a bit of work. Images. Trust-building (even if everything is a sponsored link for you to get referral $).
All the links on the page redirect through sedoparking.com, which won't help you. Title page. Removing "This is a future home page". Contact information.

It generally takes awhile to get listed. You need a link from someone else's site to yours to get listed (or submit your website to the various search engines).

Buy more web site names. Then 'point' them to your URL. DisasterRecovery.com for example (if the names are available If you name your URL's with descriptive words it shows up better on search engines). FireDamage.com, if you search for open domains you can buy them cheap and have them point to your site.

Also, give a bit more description of what you do. Search keywords at google and then see what words come up and then get those words on your homepage.

Another great idea is to find the site of your competitors and right click on their homepage and click on view page source. Search their HTML and see what keywords and descriptions they are using.

Go to compete.com and put in your address and your competitors web addresses and learn how people are finding your page as well as their web pages.

Good luck
