Use good practices – you have all static pages (they suck for search when combined with only ONE Post)
You need more Posts –

Auxclass, thanks but I did not understand any of that language. What does it mean when you say my site is indexed? Or i have static pages? What can i do? Is it possible for you to please go step by step, I learn very quickly. Although my site appears to be a blog site, I don’t think it was something I was trying to do. As far as “post”. I was a bit unclear on that as well. If you think a quick phone call will help I can be reached at phone # removed by Tess for privacy protection: no phone help on WordPress.com my name is Sportz. Thanks…

There is no phone support here. It takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. What attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/
To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines

You have created a lot of pages that search engines could care less about indexing. your latest post is July 25, 2014 and is at https://homeassignmentsolutions.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/many-companies-are-hring-people-from-home-let-us-help-connect-you-to-these-jobs/

These 5 videos introduce how Google discovers, crawls, indexes your site’s pages, and how Google displays them in search results.

If you are using a WordPress.com theme good SEO is a given. However, going beyond the theme what the blogger has done within that structure is worth evaluating. Whether you write informative, persuasive or controversial content learning how search engines work, and how to apply basic SEO to you content will benefit your blog as it will increase traffic from targeted readers. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/10/21/two-seo-videos-for-bloggers/

Auxclass, thanks but I did not understand any of that language. What does it mean when you say my site is indexed?
That means search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, and so on, have seen your site and have links available to folks looking for it. Without recent updated posts, it will still be ranked very low and will be difficult for people to find on page 1, or even on page 50…
Or i have static pages? What can i do?
Here is information about the difference between posts and pages:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
What that comes down to is that search engines (which are the most likely way people find your site) love new information to index (to show and update). Your static pages are, well, static: the information there stays the same. But if you have posts with new information, pictures, upcoming events, products, or stories, then Google et al will find (index) you and make that news more on the front page. -

A few comments on your site, which are just MNSHO (my not so humble opiniion):
Your top navigation menu has too many options. Use a custom menu to make it easier to see what you offer as a company. Drop downs with similar services would help your customers see more easily what your business does: no one likes reading rows of text to find the info they want, especially on a cell phone. I’m a Luddite as far as phones go, but even I have finally got a smart phone.

And, unless you are a worldwide business, you really do need to put an address front and center. If I’m in a small town in Iowa, and you are in New Mexico, then your services are not relevant to me. But if we are both in Milwaukee then your business would be a place I’d look for! -
Even reading what’s at those links doesn’t create clarity for many bloggers. I find they come to my blog to read the “The Differences Between Posts and and Pages” section in this post http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/07/25/create-a-wordpress-website-step-by-step/

And for local businesses, it is important to pay attention to neighborhood associations, public things you do and advertise about, (and maybe you’re not a business for individual home / apartment owners) but if you are local, then that is what your posts should be about. Claim your business on Google and Yahoo, have a map of where you provide services. If you work with individuals, then go to Yelp and similar services.
I’m sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but I’ve been working on a couple of local not-for-profits and it is important to provide relevant information, places, dates, costs, services, and community clearly and prominently and easily accessible.
Please accept my best wishes for these holidays and the new year.

you need good keywords in your Posts – that search engines can grab onto – so that means city names, neighborhoods etc and what you do – and maybe some of the jobs you have done that were different from standard – you want to write a story about what you do in a series of posts
the big mistake people make is thinking search results are easy and that you just put up a site and thousands will show up – good search takes work
-
And again, the keywords are tags and categories you add to posts, not to pages:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/Plus the local connections you make with your community are important.
