The designer is great but knows very little about SEO, as do I. I want to learn!!!! My site offers seasonal residential household services, I started the company in the summer and I did ok. But I spent way too much time delivering flyers to drum up business. So I want my site to be represented on these search engine results, so my only question is what is the best way to learn the trade? I just want something to start me off, maybe a good book? Something not too advanced..
Do some research on basic "on page SEO" and "link building". Basically on page SEO entails researching keywords that people would use to find your business. Then getting those keywords in your page titles, page descriptions, H1 tags, and of course the page text. Once that's done you need to get links back to your site. You can get these from web directories, forums, blogs, other people you know that have a related web site, etc. Here's google's starter SEO guide that should help you. http://www.google.com/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf
