Assuming you appeared within the search results; now try a search for a search term that you would like to found under. This could be your service or product offering e.g. ballet shoes. If that is too broad, you can narrow it down a bit e.g. specialist dancing shoes. You can also try breaking it down by geographical location. E.g. personal dancing shoes Northamptonshire.
