Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks guys. Yes open site explorer does not register any backlinks.  According to google webmasters tools we have 49 links in from 7 domains. I'll work through the points you raised.

I'm disappointed about the backlinks as we have, in the past, paid for blogger outreach with programmes like fatjoe and the hoth.  I take it, you would not recommend these?

Even after a good year or so, my site intensivedrivingschoolmiltonkeynes.co.uk does not rank in the top 10 (google.co.uk) for "Intensive Driving School Milton Keynes", and is nowhere for "Driving School Milton Keynes". Do you think the domain name is being penalised, or do you think there are other factors that contribute to the poor performance.

Thanks so much Don.  That was an excellent reply.  I really appreciate it.

Hi there.  Im newish to SEO and first time poster here (so apologies if I've posted in the incorrect place), and I'm hoping for some advice on my homepage title tag.  Its is:

"Asbestos Surveys & Removal, Kent & Sussex - MyBusinessName Asbestos Surveyors UK"

Im hoping to target keyphrases "Asbestos Surveys Kent", "Asbestos Surveys Sussex", "Asbestos Removal Kent", "Asbestos Removal Sussex", "Asbestos Surveyors UK".

My question is, have I attempted to jam too much in? By breaking the location bits away from "Asbestos Surveys", will it rank poorly for "Asbestos Surveys Kent"?  Should I only target "Surveys" OR "Removal".

Many thanks in advance.
