We see a lot of website's, some great, others not so much. An enquiry came in just today asking for help with growing their business online. The first thing I did was take a quick look at their website to check they had plenty of relevant quality content which they did.

However when I checked Google to see how many pages had been indexed (using site:theirwebsite.com) zero results were displayed so they were invisible to Google, Bing and their potential customers. When such simple things are missed this is typically signals there has been no search engine optimisation performed.
