Can we make any money from having ads on the site or is it best left as it is?

Perhaps run ads for your own products.

Do you need a blog if so how do we do it?

A relevant blog could work well on your site - it would reinforce the family run image to have "real" people writing on it, and drive good traffic to your site as it's a fairly niche target.

How do we get it into the search engine its not there? Does it cost?

Google will find your site eventually. Google crawls the internet swinging from link to link. If your site is linked somewhere Google crawls often, it may get picked up easier.

Perhaps post a link on Gumtree, Craigslist, or a local directory to get you started.

How far up the search engines you go is down to optimisation. You'll want to read up on "SEO".

How can we see how many people are looking can we?

Get your web company to install Google Analytics - it's a free powerful stats package.
