Thanks Nick. Although the general terms are there on the site that specific search term isn't. I've updated the site and will re-publish it.

Do the search terms you are using appear on the site other than in that PDF file? Are there other search terms that return pages from the site?

It might be worth reading Google's SEO Guide; without more details, it's hard to give a specific answer to your question. You can use the Google Webmaster Tools to find out what Google makes of your site, when it last indexed it, and so forth. (Other search engines such as Yahoo and whatever-the-Microsoft-one-is-called-this-week have similar tools available.)

I've been testing my website visibility and I'm not sure why something is happening.

Google finds a link to my website, but only to a string contained in a pdf file I have available for download on my website, and not to the actual website itself. What should I look at changing on the website so that Google finds the site first, rather than the pdf file?

Cheers
