        Hey I live right up the 15 in Corona.

        Anyway, your site is in google. Getting found is another matter.

        My advice would be to get in google places/maps, but you need
        a physical address.

        Adding a physical address would help a lot.

        In So Cal, you have a TON of competition.

        Okay, here's the big hint. Your text at the top is an image.
        That's bad. Put that "text" into real text, same place.

        Text in an image is useless, and that is the text you want front
        and center to be found.

      Ditch the image that has the text.

      You already have
      McManus Pool Service

      951-977-0439

      As text. Just add the text that was in the image to that.

      I might change the first line to

      McManus Pool Service in Temecula

      You also have other images on the front page that have text.
      Again, use a smaller image, add real text.

      You have almost zero real text that says who, what, where, or why.

      And in your case, that might be a killer.

    I deleted the top section and created 2 "text" boxes and added the text "in Temecula". Real text?

    I know this is not SEO, but cut down the number of fonts you use. Roboto is very nice typeface, but the others aren't in my opinion. If you need to have your company name on "love ya like a sister" then try limiting that font to just "McManus". Also, text that is aligned to center is pretty hard to read because the start of the line skips around randomly. I would not do that unless the page was about poetry.

    I'm not sure if you're using dozens of fonts, but that's what the builder is suggesting for the browser to download.

    There's quite a lot of h1 headings in the sub pages at least. The first of them seems to be your company name on every page. In my opinion it's better to have something that describes the current page in the h1. If you can also have only one per page, but this might be something your builder doesn't allow.

    You seem to have the same title tag for every page which isn't recommended, and the title isn't that good. The current one is "Pool service and equipment repair in and around Temecula!".

    I'd have something like "McManus Pool Service and Maintenance, Temecula" for the front page. Your company name already contains the main keywords, and it's slightly easier to read.

    For the maintenance page, perhaps "Maintenance and Equipment Repair - McManus Pool Service, Temecula".

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

      I was going to mention this at first, but did not. Why?

      Because that font looks under-water-ish, for lack of a better term.
      Not a bad idea.

      Second, that was just the intro. No big deal.

      Third, not all people use a browser that recognizes all fonts.

      Fourth, this is 2015. People expect fancy text.

      Fifth, I would only change "article" text to browser default.

      To help with your local SEO, add your times of operation, maybe in the contact part. Also, I don't know if somebody told you different, but I always use my full address on my websites, just as it would appear on my Google plus

    You need to be descriptive.

    If I was your traffic I wouldn't have a clue what green to blue means. I'm guessing green water?

    Don't make Google or traffic guess.

    I have the fill address in the "contact" page with Google maps also. At least it appears to me I do if what is up is wrong I'm not sure how to change it to be right.

    Paul your right it was supposed to appear watery. In go daddy website builder I don't have many options for fonts

    the term green to blue is very common when you have a pool, one of the most discussed topics due to price

      You'll need to do better than that because it doesn't tell me anything useful, you can bet your traffic is thinking the same thing.

      Again, be descriptive, talk to potential traffic like they just stepped off the bus. What are you selling, why do I need it?

    Yukon, I understand what your saying, when I built the site I had keywords I'm mind and tried to make sure I had them. I see now that a lot of the content is repetitive.

    When I start changing the wording do I need to worrying about specific words that will get me to page 1 on Google or phrases or just selling points to people that view my site?

    there are many websites present that will tell the ranking of your website, keyword density, content quality and other characteristics related to SEO. In those website you need to put only the URL of ur website. so you can do it yourself to analyse properly.

      I would imagine in the summer in So Cal, people do tons of searches for

      why did my pool turn green, get rid of a green pool, etc.

      I would indeed include green along with "technical" terms.

        I don't think it will rank on Google. You need to add more content to your website.
        With your site, the fastest way to get traffic is PPC.You can buy ads from Adwords, Bing.
