Hi with a very low budget I simply wanted a site that would give people the basic info about our gallery. I bought a fiverr gig to get a site map index installed on to the site. Is it that I used wix to create it ? is it that its only a couple of weeks old? is the keywords? Can you help

Bass Rock Framing & Gallery

    If it is the Bassrockgallery website, this has already been indexed by Google and I can get the website on the search engine... However, if you are talking about ranking say for the keyword "Bass Rock Gallery", well that will take some time and SEO work. But with an exact keyword domain like yours, that is very easy.

    You'll need to begin learning SEO.

    The only trouble with that is this:

    - Steep learning curve
    - Long time to see results

    Your best bet is to combine your SEO education with learning how to generate traffic from other means:

    - Social
    - Virl
    - Content
    - Video
    - Offline
    - Viral

    There are many other means of generating traffic, and indeed those above encompass many systems, but a combination of the above will get your site rocking and rolling sooner than mere SEO and SEM.

    Google Cant Find You? can you explain what you mean?

    If you type into the google search bar the word 'site:' with the colon) and then you web site name, Google will tell you all the pages it has indexed.

    Clearly Google will return pages that it thinks are relevant to your search terms, and it may be that your site is just not there yet in terms of content to excite the G at the moment.

    Putting my own quick view on it... I visited your site. Very content light, and hardly worth promoting to page one. You need to add some quality content pages with at least 600-1000 words. Each page needs to focus on one keyword you want to rank for. The blog has #! in the directory name and then pages of just 4 random letters. Google uses page names as a big part of its ranking and you are giving it nonsense. The design looks good, but big G doesnt care much about that yet.

    Simon a huge thank you for your feedback. I saved money by building it myself but Im not adverse to spending a bit to get it up to scratch. Some of your later comments dont make sense to me so I see I have already run out of the necessary skills to fix it, if you or anyone would be interested in fixing these things and adding some value to the site Id be happy to pay.
