Google Rank Help Please

I have a friend who recently hired a webdesigner for 2 projects. He is satisfied with the sites but his Google rank is very poor.

I have tried everything to help him out and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me out.

I have in the past asked you guys at Kirupa and someone put in the description and URL in some program and it worked great. If anyone knows how I could help out the google rank please let me know and I will put the URL and name of the sites.

Thanks,
Mike
