Resolved Question

How do I get my businesses website on page 1 of google?

I've recently taken over a business and the old owners never really did any web advertising, despite being an online store! I'm trying to bump my website up the google rankings - currently, when you search 'children's wedding favours' (which I sell) I don't come anywhere close...I have yet to find myself on a google search!
Has anyone got any tips on how to improve this? I'm just about to start a google adwords campaign and am having a new website made by a company that apparently are quite good at optimising your website, but is there anything more I can do?
My website is www.eventsmiles.co.uk if that helps at all!

I just looked at your website, its invisible to search engines, it has no meta tags. Unless you know how to edit web pages, there is nothing you, yourself can do. (But why not learn as its not that hard, and cheaper than paying me / another company to do it for you)

The meta tags are what madison the person above me is refering to

• Search engine optimisation...ensure that key words/phrases are registered with google that relate to your site, the products you sell etc.
  
  Secondly, get your company/website well known by advertising, blogging and maybe doing a few deals with related websites so that potential customers can link through to your website and you onto theirs.
• To get a good search engine rankings, you'll need knowledge on SEO. There two kinds of optimization, the on page optimization is the optimizing the site itself which involves modifying of keywords on domain name, title tags, headings and contents, the second is the off page optimization or the link building, it involves creating of quality backlinks getting from relevant sites.

• Search engine optimization. You can have companies do it for you, but basically its about editing your content. Make sure it's clean and is straight to the point. When you upload pictures and other things you have to make sure their tags are specific to what they are. URL should be simple too. It's all about word choice.
  
  Try googling search engine optimization.
• before you waist alot of money on these expensive ads you should try some free ad sites like usfreeads.com ilist.com adsglobe.com there are tons of these. If you feel it is necesary to spend money on google then use good keywords that really describe your site you are right if you cant get to the top its not worth it most people only go through the first couple pages before they choose one.

• I'm going to have to chime in the same way: Search Engine Optimization.
  
  The only difference is I would make sure to get a course in Google Search Engine Optimization best practice techniques.
• I noticed there are 26,300 results (2630 pages) for that phrase, is your page better than 26,290 others?
  
  the two big factor for ranking are (1) relevance to the key phrase, ideally it would appear in the domain name, header, and body text. (2) Perceived popularity (authority), gauged by the number of sites, particularly relevant ones that link to yours, that's where the seo effort comes into play.
  
  The sites on page 1 have a page rank of 0-2, they are not seo monsters.

• I am going to march to the same tune with the above peeps and I will add my own tune as well.
  
  If you want to do it yourself, please do take a course so you know what to do and what to expect.
  
  If you want to pay someone to do it for you, it can cost a bit per month and it will still take some time till you rank on page one.
  
  Either way, in this case time is everything.
  
  NOW here is where I am drumming a different tune.
  
  If you pay attention, you will see Google is now allowing videos to be ranked on their pages. This is something that is being overlooked by many and being used by the powerful. You can create a video, send it out to the world and have it backlink to you site. It not as easy as I said it, but I am using a great program that makes this work.
