Website Please Help Me

I had Web.com do a website for me. It is free for 30 days then will cost me $95/month for them to host it or I can purchase it outright for $99. I personally think it sucks. When I called them to make changes I was politely told to write the content myself and make the changes myself. Now why did I let them do this? I don't have time to deal with it and I don't know enough to get it to the top of the listings.

What I need from you is your honest opinion. Can I fix this easily or should I scrap it and hire someone who will do this and actually put some effort into it? Keep in mind I sell mainly life but do health, dental, disability, LTC & retirement too.

Warning!!! There is language in there that as an insurance pro will make you very uneasy. The site is trfinancial.org
 
When we spoke over the phone they told me they would build a professional website and make changes until I was happy for the first 30 days. I went thru a ton of questions on what the website should include and what I wanted, which still remains a mystery why it isn't included. So yes they were supposed to do it all for me from the beginning, per the sales person I spoke with. So yes that is what I expect because that is what I was told.

I was told it would have all the right keywords to hit top ranking and everything. Does it have that? I don't know because I'm not experienced in website design.

From a SEO standpoint just based on your meta tags, keywords, page titles you're a 1.1 out of 20. I'm not a SEO expert but you need one.

They are supposed to be experts, so you are telling me that it isn't even coming close to what I need? Sorry, you are speaking a foreign language to me but I'm trying to understand.
 
Ok, based on your site, from being on page 1 of Google to the last page - you'd be on Pluto. Let me tell you just how bad it is. If you Google TR Financial you don't even show up.
 
I have to agree with your assessment, pretty poor job of building a site. They haven't done the most basic stuff to get your site traffic much less designed a site that will get conversions. Your best bet is to choose a good SEO guy and let him suggest a designer who will build a site that will get you the conversions you need. Then let the SEO guy get you the traffic.
