My site and Google Search

Hi guys,
Apologies if this has been covered to death, but it's still an issue for me.
When I do a Google search for 'Symmetry Images', nothing comes up related to my site. www.symmetryimages.com.au
I've read thru the article here >> http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93327. but this has not helped, as I have entered data for all the meta tags, description, image names etc etc.
I currently have a custom domain name that I obtained thru GoDaddy and it all seems to work fine with the new SM, but unless I specifically type in the page name of my site, I don't get any search results for my page.
Is there something I'm missing? I've even paid GoDaddy for the SEO component to try and get it to work. Plus I've also verified my business with Google Business, but this hasn't helped at all.
Any advice or suggestions is very much appreciated.

Personally nobody is gong to search for your site name anyway, so I would not list it in your <title> tag and use this: 'Canberra based Beauty & Fashion Photographer'. Google only shows around 50-70 characters, so adding your site name first, you are "chopping off" the important keywords (Canberra based Beauty & Fashion Photographer).

Fantastic, thanks so much Mike, I really appreciate your help!
My experience is surprisingly the opposite. I don't get a huge number of random visitors that find my site through search engines, but MANY repeat visitors find my site through searching for my site name every single time. Not sure why they don't make a bookmark or just add .com, but this is oddly common for my site. I agree with your recommendations in general but I also hate when sites try to cram too much info in their titles. Bookmark a site without their name first in their title and you'll see what I mean.
