I was talking about your site Dustin, but I was able to figure out the centering by doing some searching and taking a look at the code.

The times "Detailing" is mentioned it doesn't even say "Auto Detailing" or "Mobile Detailing". If you want anybody to find you, you need to have more keywords on the first page. Don't over do it, because Google will consider it spamming, but put words like your City,Cars, Mobile Detail, Auto Detail, etc, etc. When the Google robot spyders your site it looks for those keywords. Adding meta tags will be important too. You need to go to some Webmaster forums and learn all you can about SEO, because if you're not on that first page of Google your traffic will be minimal. Yahoo is basically dead, and MSN has changed to BING, which is popular for some searches, but Google makes up over 70% of all people searching for your business. The top 3 slots on Google make up about 85% of all traffic, so shoot for that. Many webmasters will offer to do freelance work if you post on Webmaster sites. Just a few ideas and critiques, hope this helps.
Oh, and the Godaddy site builder is Website Tonight, and they also have "Traffic Blazer' which can help you with SEO. It does take work but when you make it to the first page of Google you won't believe the amount of traffic you will get, and then you can pick and choose who you want as clients. Good Luck!

Thank you very much for the helpful tips and pointers. I'm still working on the content of the site, but as soon as I finish that I will do my best to learn as much as I can about SEO and hopefully have my site come up as the first result. There is another detailer in my town, and while his site does come up first, content wise it looks very messy and incomplete, so I know if I can get my site right up there with his in the results, I should have no problems gaining some business. Do you happen to have any particular sites you could recommend to seek some help from webmasters?
Thanks in advance!
