      <description>Improving your rank on Google involves a meticulous execution of several strategies. The strategies can be classfied as on-page (changes on your site) and off-page (outside your site):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;On-Page&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Incorporate the keywords for which you are trying to rank on your web site (focus 2-3 keywords on any single page) Put the keywords in the html titles tag, in heading tags (h1...h6) on the page and also in the content copy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Move all javascript to individual files&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure your menu items or links to inner pages are in html and not javascript&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create a sitemap page and a sitemap.xml file (check on google on how to create and submit sitemap.xml)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Off-Page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Blog comments on relevant blogs with a link to your website&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Get link exchange done with your domain sites&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Submit to paid directories like botw.org, yahoo directory, v7n directory etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;other link building strategies&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
Slowly your rankings will improve.&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Another advice is: have high ranking sites linking back to your site ("do follow links")&lt;br /&gt;
Write to webmasters and friends asking them to link to you&lt;br /&gt;
A simpler way to achieve this is creating online profiles in high ranking sites, and linking those to your websites.&lt;br /&gt;
For example. you could create a www.lookuppage.com profile for youself. and/or add yourself to www.LinkedIn.com and www.naymz.com (though they are more aimed at social networking rather than google results promoting, they would probably still do the job)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck expanding your business, and hope my advice helped &lt;img class="jive-emoticon" border="0" src="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif" alt=":-)" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
I took a quick look at your site:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul class="jive-dash"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;ul class="jive-dash"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pay more attention to your page titles&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Assign sequential header tags for each page in the source code&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Add your meta-data; meta tags are not in place (key words, descriptions)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Research your key phrases. Example: do church officials really look up "message notification for churches" when looking for services like yours?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I noticed your site is built on .NET - have your developer move the viewstate out - it is still resident in your source code at the beginning of the page code - too much code bloat&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those are a few things to get started with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Cheers!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
First, look at your competitions website that is in the top rankings to give yourself an idea of what you need.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Writing electornic articles, posting in forums, and setting up and maintaining a blog for the business, and putting direct links to your website.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make sure your listed on search engines, most will have a register my site button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make sure you use your keywords in the body of the page, 2-3 times each.  Also, don't list too many keywords.  A lot of companies are making keyword specific pages, So you would have one page for text message advertising, one for voice message advertising, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
