You have to check out It fully automates the SEO process without spending the big bucks on the outside services. It cost like $98 and is well worth it. You stay in complete control of keywords, phases and everything, but, it does all the work. You just have to turn it on once a day and walk away. I’ve been using it with one of online businesses and I’m getting really good results.
It primarily works using medium density keywords. Which still gives you really god results, without trying to compete with the big huge websites!

First of all, your uses an abbreviation for your business state location. Spell out “North, South Carolina”. And lengthen your metatag for more descriptive language and finally, shorten the number of entries in the metatag which is normally limited to 15 words which are plural and compound variations.
As to your choice of web design which includes large flash files, did you survey your client base to determine whether or not they are Net dial users or high-speed DSL subscribers. It’s very important to know that at the outset of your ecommerce solicitation since the majority of dial uppers will simply leave your website due to the slow uploads of the flash files. Should you discover that in fact your client base is well over 80% dial uppers, you should seriously consider redesigning your current website to remove the flash graphics and rely on a pure HTML-based opening webpage and use small .jpeg files to illustrate your housing inventory.
The following article may prove helpful to you in design of an effective ecommerce website along with SEO strategies on the opening webpage to generate major Net traffic.
The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at?...... and
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.
Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.
You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.
Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple
question, “Who’s my end user – is he on dialup or
DSL?” And if you had to choose between these two users
for maximum marketability, then select analog users
since 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages
is best for them.
A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.
Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.
Placement of Metatags:
A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the “Title” metag which
should consist of no more than 60 characters separated
by commas. The “Title” should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the “Title” is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.
The second metatag is the “Description” which is
usually up to 41 words to form a complete paragraph which
best describes one’s goods and services. It is not merely a list.
And the very last category – “Keywords” are also
somewhat limited to 15 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as “spamdexed entries” which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
“Spamdexing” when discovered on a webpage and reported
to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.
Here’s an example of a very highly-placed website on
Google.com: Begin with the very “generic” search query
“sandwiches downtown los angeles,” taking note to not
abbreviate Los Angeles to “LA” and of course, leave
out the parentheses (“). It will bring up some 2.4
million+ search results. Check out where “Nazos.net”
is ranked. It’s on the SECOND FRONT [ranked 15]!
Again, Nazos.net’s high web presence was achieved by
proper web design and placement of relevant metatags
according to Google’s publication guidelines.
Good luck!

I think enough advice was given by VicSEO but i wanted to comment on another answer.
NO ONE should do what “hair” recommends. If you are not a pro and do not understand SEO at a high level then trading links will hurt your site.
Do not do link exchanges or buy/sell links. This is a violation of the TOS for most search engines when it is being done to improve rankings.
You will be reading a thin line where interpretation is the law. You want to leave your company up to interpretation??
