You are missing Meta tags in the source-code.
Several search enignes look throug the "keywords" found in the meta tags in the source, it means if a guy searches for "small format sheet fed printing " the search engine look through the metatags in a bunch of websites untill it finds one. since your site does not contain theese, your page will not come up as a "hit" on this search.

Jeff,
I had a look at the site and found the following:
1> No <doctype> declaration - this means the site won't validate against standards and will cause problems.
2> No <meta keywords> or <meta description> tags. Not all search engines use them but the keyword tag can help. Only use keywords that are in your main text (copy). I have found that meta tags are not as cricial as good, interesting copy.
Not necessarily. If the term "small format sheet fed printing" is not in the copy then Google won't place the site high in the search lists.Several search enignes look throug the "keywords" found in the meta tags in the source, it means if a guy searches for "small format sheet fed printing " the search engine look through the metatags in a bunch of websites untill it finds one. since your site does not contain theese, your page will not come up as a "hit" on this search.
3> No internal links or cross references - search engines like these. If you mention "we can print XYZ" then link from "XYZ" to the XYZ page.
4> No site map. Search engines love site maps.
5> There is not a massive amount of copy to index in the search engines. Basically, more (interesting) words = more chances of a hit.
6> The coding is completely crp. Sorry I can't put it any better, I hope you didn't pay for this site. This type of coding is about 5 years out of date and definitely will not help your search engine ranking.
7> There is a <script> tag (postamble) at the bottom of the page after <html>. This won't work and is invalid.
8> You have lots of external links pointing to you so it seems strange that you have dropped in the search engines.
9> Google last crawled your site on the 21st Feb. Was the "new" site up at this time? If so that's the problem. In a nutshell it's the new site....
In summary:
If you paid for this, ask for your money back. To improve things it will need a total re-write and much improved copy. If you still have the old site then re-install it. Some traffic is better than none.
Sorry mate, that's all I can offer. If you want any more info, PM me.
