    No offense intended, but for a website consulting firm from the bay area selling a search engine optimization package for $1700, I would expect you to know this stuff already ;-) The H1, H2, etc. tags simply indicate a heading in the document structure. The font size doesn't have to be larger, you can control that in the stylesheet.

    If you google for web page analyzers you should be able to find a free tool that will show you how the bot sees your page.

    You need more content, heading tags, and as Aaron111 mentioned you could plop a blog on there and get them blogging regularly to generate content the spiders will eat up, and push the google juice to the home page with some smart structure.

    ok from my personal experience I had a site that was built using HTML ..that did nothing for me...WHEN I upgraded to xhtml syntax...GOOGLE loved it!!

    Now this isnt a for sure thing...but in the new era of web devolopment. GOOGLE is starting to look at the sites structures and coding.

    I would recommend upgrading your site to xhtml.

    Here is my 2 cents. You need a relevant title with the keyword included and keep it short and sweet. The description should be around 20-25 words and should include the keyword. Keywords should be limited to what you want the search engines to find you for so use only 3-5. The H1 tag should whatever kw you are targeting on each page. Increase the amount of text to around 250 words with the KW appearing at least 3 times in the copy. Then give your images the appropriate alt tags identifying them, try to use kws without stuffing! In all situations the usage of your keywords should seem natural to your visitors and the search engines. Another thing that will help is relevant sites linking to yours. Try and obtain one way links and avoid reciprocal linking. Good Luck!

    Yes I have seen your sites it is very nice. But as far as I think you should keep focusing on your key keywords.

    We are human and google is a search engine. We can get charmed seeing a wonderful thing i.e website. But google does not recognise the wonder or beauty unless it can be easilly understandable by the S E. Actually the images are stored in such a format that the search engine cannot recognise what is wtitten or drawn on it. It can understand only text. So make your website text rich. Keep as few image link as you can. Instead use text link below the image. Provide enough key words. I mean maintain the keyword density so that the search engine would recognise that you are providing the actual rich content what the site say about. Except this two your site is great.:D

    Did you add a sitemap.xml ??

    Did you verify and submit your sitemap via GoogleWebmasterTools?

    If not, that will solve your problem.

    XHTML is not really an upgrade. Just about all XHTML is being served as HTML anyway (content (MIME) type text/html). It should be served as content (MIME) type application/xhtml+xml to be XML functional, but then there are rendering problems. It will display in MSIE 6.0 release 2900 and 7.0 but they will not render xml content. MSIE 6.0 release 2800 and earlier presents a download screen -- selecting OPEN presents a plain, text only, rendered page -- sans style sheet. Of course, such pages display and render as prescribed in compliant graphical Browsers such as Firefox, Opera, Safari, et al.

    Here is a page that outlines the problems serving XHTML

    Here is an XHTML page served as content (MIME) type application/xhtml+xml for testing by those interested.

    There is one advantage to serving XHTML as HTML -- the well-formedness constraints make for better structured Markup for those who do not normally employ that principle when composing HTML pages. Except for the two XHTML pages referenced above, and one reference page composed using ISO-HTML, all of my pages were composed using HTML 4.01 (Strict) Markup.

    100% agree - fix your meta tags first, add some valuable content and don't panic
