How do I get my site indexed in Google?

[vicarious george]

Ok folks,

I created a website a few years ago for my parent's business. For the heck of, I tried a google search to see whether or not it shows up. Unfortunately, it does not. That's not even the big issue though; the real problem is that when searching under what would be the most common search terms, the #1 returned hit is her biggest competitor. This is obviously a big problem, so I'd like to know how to fix it.

Thanks in advance,
John

To start you need to submit your site if you haven't already http://www.google.com/addurl/

then make sure you have good optimization, good tags, ect.
