Sadly there's little hope for this site to rank at all, because the code is so bad. There are major problems with the overall designing of this site and I hope no money was exchanged for such a service. I'll explain and list the problems I see straight away, Issues: Issue 1 Over use of H1 Tags on the front page alone it has over 12, including one as the footer which is a huge no no. Issue 2 No use of h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 tags, these tell google that the content is still important but less important than h1 which is the major keyword matching method. Issue 3 You have no META Description on any of the pages, this should a 156 char description which is a sentence using the keywords found in the title and h1 tag, and other important h2-h6 keywords without spamming. Issue 4 Far to many keywords listed in the keyword meta tag, keywords which ain't even on the page. Only use keywords which are actually on the page and if you said it once, don't repeat it in another order. This is for use for Bing and Yahoo, google ignores this. Issue 5 The Title tag is 79 characters long, Google only displays a max of 70, Use a combined Phrase almost like a sentence outlining your keywords. Issue 6 You have 6 CSS files which are not gziped and combined, Google actually ranks on site speed and uses many factors like overall use of JS and CSS files. Use a online minify and enable gzip on the server. Issue 7 None of the images on the pages are compressed, Google Yslow Pngcrush and Transjpeg, this will reduce the file size without lose of any image quality. Issue 8 None of the images have alt tags, this is extremely important as it adds overall text content to your page and tells the search engines what kind of images you have on the page. Issue 9 The file names of the images are not very relevant to the content, this is less important but file names actually helps SEO. Issue 10 No Terms and Conditions Page, No Privacy Pages, No Social Network Pages, all of these help SEO as it adds content to the site. Issue 11 Less than important again but no Google analytics, Which is amazing for improving your site keywords at a later date and finding out customer trends. Issue 12 The services are not listed on Google shop, it's free. Issue 13 No coding to allow google to determine the services listed, there are codes you use to add prices, and services on a page this tells search engines that you are selling something and lists its accordling, I could go on but this requires major work, and I strongly advise this site is looked. A professional can easily resolve the issues listed above. Hope this helps you out in the right direction.

Flash is a SEO nightmare, you can defeat Google though which people have failed to mention, you can provide a text version of your website with merely just text, that way Google can least read what you got on it. Further more with flash sites you can successfully rank them if you link build. Build Quality links to your site with good Anchor text and your site will climb, however another site with equal links which uses HTML site you won't over come that unless your links are better. On page Optimisation is important, but off page optimsiation can be used to overcome a lot of these issues, Don't go spamming your links to less relevant sites otherwise Google will punish you more. But if you are serious, move away from Adobe Flash.. It's 1 rubbish, 2 hell, and 3 dead.

Sitemap isn't that important, Google most likely rewards SEO points if you have one or not. However the bots rarely check the sitemap, I have had many New URLS listed and Indexed without the bot even reading the sitemap, the sitemap is audited and not checked every time it skims your site. Google most likely uses its own sitemap for your site and spiders the links from their, but occasionally checks your sitemap in case it's having problems following links.

Looks tidy m8, well done

That's awful LoL but since its pancake day it'll do
