Your offer of have your carpets cleaned and get your suite for half price needs more detail.  What happens if they only have one carpet in the house??

The screen shot seems very wide and hench hard to read the paragraphs.  Id go for a more of a newspaper layout.

just had a good look after my 10 course banquet lunch and must say, its a cracking website arbee.
marks got a point if they only have one carpet and the rest laminate. suppose you could quote double for the suite and then half it ;D
good luck with it. just one point, if no one can find it then it don't matter how good it is, get it up there and you'll rake the work in.

change your page names.
if you look at the very veery top of your screen and i mean very top, it will say personal touch-homepage-windows internet explorer.

change it to carpet cleaning (where ever you live)

all of your pages.

on upholstery page change to upholstery cleaning (where you live) you could also add other areas with it so for intance it could say.....
carpet cleaning manchester cheshire stockport

this will get you higher up the rankings as this is the first thing google spiders see when crawlinbg your site.

you could also change your picture na,mes (meta tags) to say the same thing.
just a little tip for ya.
maybe someone with a bit more SEO knowledge could help more. thats if you can edit all this yourself
oh and i couldn't find where you cover on your site.

you need a web editor john, did it on my old site as its got a complete page wizard so dead easy, but can't on my new site so paid an SEO bloke to do it, page 1 for 10 towns and 1 county now so happy with that.
if you have got an editor or wizard then just play around with it till you find what to do. took me a few hours on my old site but not sure what buttons i pressed. trial and error for me, but you will shoot up the rankings if you do.

I can install an editor for most sites to allow you to edit the text without messing up the code!

Looks really good mate, looking at it, it would be hard to believe you've just started up within the last year, it really portrays a quality and well established service.

Only one thing to criticise, you needed a bloody hair cut for your mug shot ;D

Very nice looking website and it is easy to navigate.  You need to add keywords and a metatag description.  These are crucial to getting search engine rankiing.

Good luck!

Yep

Only CC links allowed.

And the site is really for CC. At least she made some useful comments though.

Doug was saying yesterday that google likes websites with around 4-5 pages . Not sure how much of a difference it makes but it's worth noting.
