I applied for it and they were meant to send me a postcard or something ......never turned up
Do it again. It's not unusual to have to reapply. This is the most important part of your SEO so keep doing it until it turns up. You should get it second time around - I've never had to apply a third time
 
Title tags don't seem to be there although they're done so I'll look into that and description IS different and relevant on every page that matters. Yes Dave needs to sort out google places or whatever it's called now but as it's coming up high on some pages for certain phrases something there must be right ey. Site map is last thing I do and it's 99% finished so will be done V soon.
As Dave isn't concentrating on window cleaning the sites optimised for several services, each having it's own page so check every page for keywords and descriptions as they're all slightly different but they are present and I won't install plug-ins for the seo unless I can't sort those titles myself which really is just a matter of adding it manually, there's no need to confuse matters.
Hi Dodger - I've put together a quick list of things for you here. If you need any help then just message me on here or on Facebook:
Focus on "window cleaning" as opposed to "window cleaner" - this is what your commercial customers will be typing

Add the local area name to the URL of each page, i.e. window-cleaning-Spelthorne

Also remove index.php from the URL by adjusting the permalinks. The default keeps index.php but there's no sense it being there

TITLE tags will take a maximum of 70 characters but add your keywords at the beginning and try not to "stuff" them too much

The All In One SEO Plugin will also let you manage the DESCRIPTION tags for each page which will give you an extra 150 characters of keyword-rich data

A non-SEO related point but the cookies banner is quite intrusive and interferes with the navigation. As long as you have a cookies policy and it's in plain site (the footer will suffice), then that's fine and you can do away with the banner.

One last point, don't expect ANYTHING until the sitemap has been made AND submitted to Google and Bing. The best way to get the sitemap scanned with Google is through Webmaster Tools and Bing have a similar set up.

 
My wife builds websites and I just give her the keywords. If you type in window cleaner Leeds I'm on and always have been on the front page of Google. The wife is just on with new website, which should be live in the next week or so.

I'm only local, so looking at my stats the keywords range from window cleaner Leeds, window cleaners Leeds, window cleaning Leeds. Even commercial window cleaners Leeds and i'm on the first page of Google.
