With ALL MY RESPECT to your provider, if I were you I would do the following once the site is produced:
- Make sure the site has clean CSS
- Make sure title and alt tags are being used effectively for links and images throughout
- Check the header tags contain your keywords
- Place different title, description, keywords meta tags on each page
- Make sure you have effective inter-pages links
- Create a valid xml sitemap and submit it to major search engines - Google, Yahoo! and MSN provide you with tools to do so
- Set some sort of traffic stats (i.e. Analytics or Statcounter)
- Submit your site to local business directories
- Participate in online communities such as UK Graphic Design Forums for instance and use your keywords to link back to your site
Once all the above is in place, give it few months and then make your decision whether you really need to pay for further exposure.
Hope this makes sense.

HI,
wow that was an excellant reponce, thankyou very much!!
Its the same company doing the
SEO thats doing the site, i have paid £500 on site fee's. so i assume that this covers some of the points you have made above.
as for the action plan, not as yet as we are currently working on the site..however i believes its link building, and articles..?
do you believe that with all of the above you mentioned in your post, i can get page 1 rank for edinburgh printers and things to that effect without the monthly £100?
just on a side note, how do you know so much about
SEO, it is something you do for clients?
Many Thanks,
Pete
