What you can do now...
The first step is to visit Google or Yahoo and search for your website. Initially
search for your company name, if you don't appear under this then it's time to
take action! Assuming you appeared within the search results, now try a search
for a search term that you would like to found under. This could be your service
or product offering e.g. running shoes. If that is too broad, you can narrow it
down a bit e.g. specialist running shoes. You can also try breaking it down by
geographical location. e.g. personal trainer birmingham. Hopefully you will have
listed on one of the searches you have performed. If not then it's time to take
a look at your website and see what can be done to improve things.
