First, look at your competitions website that is in the top rankings to give yourself an idea of what you need.

Writing electornic articles, posting in forums, and setting up and maintaining a blog for the business, and putting direct links to your website.

Make sure your listed on search engines, most will have a register my site button.

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.

I took a quick look at your site:

    • Pay more attention to your page titles
    • Assign sequential header tags for each page in the source code
    • Add your meta-data; meta tags are not in place (key words, descriptions)
    • Research your key phrases. Example: do church officials really look up "message notification for churches" when looking for services like yours?
    • 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

Those are a few things to get started with.

Cheers!
Karen

Another advice is: have high ranking sites linking back to your site ("do follow links")
Write to webmasters and friends asking them to link to you
A simpler way to achieve this is creating online profiles in high ranking sites, and linking those to your websites.
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)

Good luck expanding your business, and hope my advice helped :-)

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):

On-Page:
  1. 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
  2. Move all javascript to individual files
  3. Make sure your menu items or links to inner pages are in html and not javascript
  4. Create a sitemap page and a sitemap.xml file (check on google on how to create and submit sitemap.xml)
Off-Page
  1. Blog comments on relevant blogs with a link to your website
  2. Get link exchange done with your domain sites
  3. Submit to paid directories like botw.org, yahoo directory, v7n directory etc.
  4. other link building strategies
Slowly your rankings will improve.
