          If you look at your souce code, it is a long way done the page before you get to any content, the first content found is the alt tag text "logo", this is almost 400 lines of code down the page.

          after then there is only short menu text for many more lines, there is not real text content to about 800 lines.

          if i take a line of text "Free taxi private hire software" of your page and do a exact macth search your home page is not found in google index. it is found on deeperpages but not on your home page

          this is your problem

            Hi,

            I could not detect a meta description in your code. Maybe try adding this to the page head section:

            name="description" content="YOUR DESCRIPTION TEXT" />

            HTH

            Steve

              The first text element in the site is the alt tag of an image of "logo".

              This explains where it is coming from, as to why slightly stranger.

              Look through your source I see no real paragraphed block of text. All of the text seems to be quite short, fragmented sentences.

              When google has to create a description by itself it normally tries to find a suitable paragraph containing the keyword. Since I can't even see your keyword within the page, this may explain why google fails on making a relevant description and simply uses the first sentence (single word) it finds.

              Solution 1) Add some well written text containing your keyword.

              Solution 2) Add a description meta tag.

                      Should i suggest the client to create an external .js file. It will reduce the code by quite a bit.. There are too many lines of javascript code.
