I recently built and took service responsibility for another website for a Spa/Hot tub repair company located in Virginia.

I am looking for ways to get them noticed, any ideas?

Trying to get them to show up when you google etc.... Suggestions?

There is no shortage of submission sites Eric, so many in fact that it's pointless us even suggesting any. Did you put keywords and title tags in the header? I couldn't see them when I viewed the source of that page, but I only had a quick look as I'm off to bed now. Properly laid out headers with keyword tags etc are important if you want the site to be indexed by search engines.

Let us know when you have the tags done Eric and we can take a look. There are some cool sites that will test your page headers and rate it. I'll get the links for you when you are ready.

Well it is a work in progress. The owner of the company takes good care of me for keeping his site up. Not to mention I get good breaks on supplies.

If any one ever needs spa parts supplies etc.....Let me know. I will get anyone with an ULTRA license 20-30% off anything from covers to pumps, filters etc. Anything but chemicals.

Any make and any brand!


Jim/Di....If this is not OK please edit my post.I do not want to cross any lines.

Eric, I hope you don't mind if I make some suggestions. I had a look at the index page again. Your keywords need improving as they are important. First, separate them only by commas, like in the second line instead of the first one;

hot tubs, bath tubs
hot tubs,bathtubs

Also you don't have enough keywrods on the index page and some of them are not on that page at all. For instance you have;

hot tubs
bath tubs

as keywords but they only appear on the index page once each. You should try to get them in several times each but don't make it look spammy by typing something like

hot tubs,hot tubs,hot tubs,hot tubs,hot tubs,hot tubs,hot tubs,hot tubs,hot tubs,hot tubs...

or by making the text invisible (same colour as the page background). Search engines don't like those tricks.

The following keywords I couldn't find there at all;

Washington 0
D.C Northern Virginia 0
Montgomery County 0
Maryland 0

If they are on other pages instead, you can adjust the keywords in the header on each page to cater for them.
I hope all that made sense Eric.

You're a fast learner Eric, I had a quick look again and you got the keyword frequency right. I'll just show everyone here your opening paragraph as an example of good keyword frequency;


"Conversion and retrofit of older hot tubs is a specialty. Why pay thousands for a new hot tub when we can bring your existing hot tub back to youthful life?"

That's your main keyword placed three times in one sentence alone, well done Eric.
