Our business websites show up on GOOGLE, at or near the top. There are several things that you can do. One is to put the service or product that you are providing in your site’s title. Our business has to do with photography – so we put that in the title”Photographer in Half Moon Bay, CA.”. Localizing it (stating where your business is) is important, otherwise it’ll get lost. Make sure that your website’s first page is not in frames, which confuses the search engines. List your site with DMOZ (Open Directory Project):
http://www.dmoz.org/

in the right category for your business. They will list you with all of the important search engines. Finally, link your website with as many (free)websites as you can, that deal with your business. This is how you get your name at the top of the search engines.
