So I whipped up a simple site for a small business a few months back, and this morning I recieved an email from him, wondering why when he types in a few keywords about the site/business - google doesn't list him.
If you type the exact name of his business though, he is first on google's results. He wants people to be able to type in "rural appraiser north iowa" or something to that effect I'm guessing, and see his site listed.
I know google doesn't go by metatags, which is also one of the reasons it's such a good search engine. Is there anything I can do in this situation? The site isn't very large, and I think that google indexes you higher if you have alot of links to high-traffic sites?
I'm not exactly sure how this all works, and I'm off to do some searching on the topic, but I just thought I'd check here first. Thanks for any help guys.
