        Every page title should be under 70 characters and unique from each other. The one on your homepage looks really bad... CSCS | CSCS Card | CSCS Test | Apply for CSCS Card | Apply for CSCS Test ... It's too long, overuses your target terms, and isn't exactly descriptive of the page. Your meta description on your homepage is similarly bad... Call 0207 199 9800 for Apply CSCS, CSCS Card, CSCS Test through Construction Helpline. Take the CSCS test, earn your CSCS card easily with Construction Helpline, Apply for your CSCS Card online. There is no good reason to say "CSCS" six times like that, its should be less than 160 character long (yours is 194) and should be relevant to the page. And your meta keywords tag is a red flag that you're trying to game the search engines to rank for CSCS cards... CSCS, Construction Skills, CSCS Cards, CSCS Card, CSCS test, CSCS tests, CSCS certificate, CSCS Health and Safety test, health and safety test, construction helpline London ... which will likely all lead to you being penalized in some fashion by Google.

            No, I can't give you new titles and descriptions for your pages. Do you have an in-house SEO and/or a copy writer on staff?

                Can't believe I didn't think to post that link... ::facepalm::
                That would've made sense for me to do earlier in explaining what some of the issues were on the site.

                        Newer Google algorithms have come out, been tweaked and been refreshed repeatedly that almost exclusively target thin and spammy content. Something that may have worked in prior years won't work anymore. Perhaps you were hit with an algorithmic penalty during a refresh.

                          There is no magic number of times that a keyword should be included in meta tags or copy. Their placement just needs to look and sound natural.

                          Your title tag on the homepage looks far less spammy now than it had before. Your meta-description is still a bit long so it'll wind up truncated in search results but it sounds much more natural than it did before.
