Wordpress SEO Troubles...

All I want is my wordpress website to show up in Google searches, but it seems like it's so difficult or I just don't know what I'm doing!
So far, here is what I've done.
1. Installed & configured WP All in One SEO Pack Plugin.
2. Included SEO title & keywords in each of the pages I've published.
3. Submitted sitemap to Google (it says downloaded and shows a checkmark).
4. Submitted URL to Google through (both www & non-www).

When I search site:crossfit29.com I only get an obscure temporary under construction page, but none of my other pages. I'm guessing I can either delete this page or have Google exclude it in the robots.txt file (which I don't have, but can create, if needed). Also, when I do a search on the name of my business ( "29th street crossfit"), I don't even get a hit on my website, but my Facebook page at least shows up. I'm just pretty frustrated at this point, so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    When did you setup your website? When did you get everything submitted? When did you check results? Alot of variables factor into the decision, not to mention competition in the search engines, if there is any. I'd give it some patience.

    How long ago did you submit your sitemap? It can take some time for Google to re-index you. They will crawl your site again! To speed things up you should start focusing on off page stuff (backlinks). A good way to get this going fast is to setup a Posterous blog and link all of your social media profiles to it. Then make small posts daily or a few times per week with links (use Keywords as anchor text) back to individual posts. This will tell Google you have stuff going on at your site and they will crawl it fairly quickly.

    I submitted the sitemap last week, then resubmitted again a couple days ago. I probably am just being impatient! =/ I had never heard of a Posterous blog until now, so I'll go ahead and set that up. Thanks for the advice/suggestions! =)

    Just checked in Google search from the UK.
    crossfit29.com
    It is showing up with a link to www.crossfit29.com/cgi-bin/test1212.html.
    I will throw you some backlinks from my website, lets see what happens
    best wishes

    P.S. All done, good luck!
