Default Can't be googled

My website is up and running. It's a business website and if someone in the area googles say electricians in Atlanta or electrical contractor. I am no where to be found. I'm trying to understand how to get on the main page with the electrical contractors in the area. I filled in the meta tags with everything I could think of and still you can only get to my site if you know the website name. Help, losing Business! This is website tonight, also do I need to subscribe to a traffic booster program? Does this work?

...moved to Search Engines & Directories forum.

How long has your site been up? It could take 6 months to a year to begin seeing any decent search engine traffic.... especially from Google.

And don't pay for any traffic boosting services. You can do all you need to do yourself.

Since your site is for a local business, your strategies may differ slightly. Here's a great blog about optimizing your site in Google for local businesses.
