The site www.airrepaircarolina.com when i type that entire url into a search engine it still doesn't come up. It also doesn't come up when I put the company name in the search area. The code for the index page is below. I'm sure it's something in the meta tags or something I have left out. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Also, if you know how I can get higher rankings in google, yahoo etc without having to pay for that I would appreciate the info.

It looks like the site might not be indexed yet, which is why it’s not showing up in search engines. Make sure you submit the URL to Google Search Console and check that your meta tags and robots.txt aren’t blocking search engines. Also, creating some quality content and backlinks can help improve rankings over time.

Your site has only been online for 3 days. It can take months to get search engine recognition. In the meantime, buy some Google Keyword Ads in your region.

META content is ignored by search engines. You can delete the long winded meta content because it isn't valid code it won't help you get noticed.

Change this:

<title>Welcome to Air Repair of the Carolinas</title>

To this:

<title>Air Repair of the Carolinas, Heating and Cooling Services</title>

It's vital to have good keyword-rich content in the <body> of your page and to use good semantic markup. I don't see any keyword-rich text inside <h1> <h2> <h3> or <h4> tags. Search engines rate the importance of your content by the semantic structure you use. Heading 1 is the most important tag so it should contain the most important keywords -- Your Company Name.

See Google's SEO starter guide.

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/09/seo-starter-guide-updated.html

After you optimize your site with good headings and content, use Google's Webmaster Tools (it's free)

http://www.google.com/webmasters/

Submit an XML site map to Google. Eventually all the search engines will get around to indexing your site.

Thank you everyone for your help. I have done all you said and asked him to rewrite his content for the first page so it will be more friendly to the spiders and web crawlers. Hopefully he will.

I wish the client would be patient he wants to see his website in his google search.

Sometimes what we want and reality are mutually exclusive.

This is one of those times.

There is no way to speed up Google's indexing by any appreciable amount. It could literally happen tomorrow, next week, next month or later.

Make sure all of the points above are followed and when it is finally indexed, it will have a much higher position that the version pasted in your original post.

Your meta tag is not formatted correctly.

There isn't one named the...

...tag. If you wanted a description and keyword meta tag, you first need to create the correct format...

You also MUST reduce the size of that description. Generally speaking one or two sentences is it and formatting is also ignored (all the line breaks). That massive block is being ignored first, because it's not correctly formatted, second even if it was, it is going to present to the search engines as a cramming situation and be ignored.

Your meta tags are not a major factor in how your site will be found. In fact, the keywords meta tag (which it appears you have combined with your description tag) is completely ignored by the major search engines. Your site needs to have keyword rich, relevant html text first and foremost. Without it, you won't be found.

EDIT: Also, being indexed takes time. You may benefit from creating a Google Webmaster Account, but there is no guarantee it will speed up the process. Indexing can take up to a month in some situations. If the site just went up, give it time.
