Need Desperate Help With SEO!!

[thetzfreak]

Hey guys, I'm in desperate help for search engine optimization. It's not my business, but someone elses, and it is not going so well. He could sure use some help with it, and asked me, who's asking you. It's on the verge of bankruptcy in one or two months!!! The business is located in the north of Atlanta, Georgia, and we believe that the internet is a great source for customers; a couple said they found us through search engines, but when we tried repeating the same keywords, we couldn't find the site. The site:

http://21stcenturypictures.com

As you can see, it's a studio, and one of the best ones out there, too. And I'm not just saying that because of my friend; the people who HAVE gone there said it was the best picture experience they've ever had, but the problem is, almost no one knows about it! If you search for 21st Century Pictures on google, the business is found on the THIRD page. That is extremely bad. I don't want to see this business die!

I'm looking for help and tips for search engine optimization for a local business in only one area. Can you please give tips or ANYthing that could possibly help for our situation? You'll be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch.

Note: You might find this message on another forum because I'm trying to get as much help as possible.

welcome to the forum! given the age of the domain your friend may still be in the sandbox. also if you type in 21st cemtury pictures you get more than 12 million results--a lot of sand to filter thru....the internet is usually just one way of advertising or selling a product. a few additional ideas might include printing up t-shirts with his domain name and giving them away to customers, contacting little league teams and sponsor purchase of their team uniforms and let the media know about it...great publicity especially if done for low income groups--connecting with a department store in the area and agree to photograph 50 customers free or at a very low cost like a $1 or $2, sponsoring ads in various church bulletins, high schools and colleges are also effective--what your friend needs are referrals and they will come if he is smart about promotions, and is willing to give a little to possibly get back a lot.
Of course there are experts who can assist with SEO for a fee if your friend is interested, and probably a member of this forum.

You need backlinks for starters, and the homepage needs optimizing.
