    Default managing a web site

    i have a web site.
    i do antenna installs so do not sell anything on the site.
    is just to get my name out there if people searching for tv antennas..
    now the question is what is a average cost to maintain this site.
    help with google/bing rankings.
    i mainly just want to keep it in the rankings on google and such..
    all work is done. emails / hosting and such..
    it is already on up there with some keywords .just do not want it to go backwards from lack of use...and maybe try other keywords..
    thanks..

    google doesn't give a flying shite whether it is a "home made site " or a scrit, as the google spiders see the same source code that an every day user see's, just straight html , all the scripting code is on the server that a user never see

    what google does care about is keywords or more like key phrases , in bound and outbound links , relevance

    google relies on on site maps , contents, back links, social media, carefully chosen words for meta. alt tags + more list goes on you can download the google requirements. of there site.

    Gone are the days when you could put 100's of words in the meta and get good ranking in all area's
