Hi

Thanks for the advise can you tell me how many pixels my photos need to be please.

Thanks for posting your URL.

At the moment neither of the main Search Engines - Google or MS Live have indexed your site, but going by your 'hit counter' it looks like this may be a very new site.

As Eccles says you need to compress/optimise your images to bring the file size down (especially your home page one!).
A while back I created this page explaining a few website photo basics which may help you.

Your page titles aren't the worse I've seen ;¬) but could be improved a lot - these are very important to search engines.

Use the page titles to sell yourself - don't just have "wedding gallery" or "contact" that won't bring in the visitors. Add more keywords for where you are and the services you provide.

If I was you I would target you local area. It's not much good trying to get visitors by just saying "wedding flowers and balloons etc." you need to focus on your local clients. I think you are in Warwickshire but I can't see that mentioned on your website!
If you are, put in in your page titles and page content.

I would also list the areas you cover etc., get a few place names in there! People tend to look for your type of services in a particular area.

Your current contact page doesn't have an address and phone number - if you are a 'real' business and want to look like one then I would include both.

Also try to get some inbound links - this helps the search engines find you! You can add your site to Freeola's customer sites - that's always worth doing.

That's enough to be going on with :¬)

Hope that helps and good luck.
Any questions feel free to ask...

First thing you need to do is optimise the images you are using on your home page and then upload them again to your InstantPro site as they are each over 1Mb in size!
If you don't do this then they will be optimised when the next version of InstantPro goes live as we're going to try and optimise all image people are using as it'll benefit all site visitors.

You need to give each page some meta keywords and a meta description. You can do this by editing each page and click the page settings link near the top of the builder window.

Getting meta tag info right is tricky so you might like to read our tutorial here. Make sure each page has a different set of meta key words, describing what is on the page and make sure the meta data isn't duplicate on any page as search engines don't like this.

Once you have done this you will just have to sit and wait for you site to be indexed by search engines. We've been quite successful with InstantPro sites, a lot of them show up in Google with 2 weeks but this cannot be guaranteed.


Good luck!

Hi Thanks for your reply.

It would be great if you could check it for me. The domain is highclassflowersandballoons.co.uk.

I would be grateful for any advise.

My first step would be to ensure it's been written correctly and optimised so the Search Engines index it well.

If you can post your site's domain name that would help if you would like it 'checked'...
