Hey Guys i had my website redone earlier this year. Prior to getting my site redone, my old website had great position on goolge and in the maps (was always 1st or 2nd in the organic search). Now i am located at the bottom of the 2nd page and not getting any calls tracked from google. Looking for advice. The website is www.jpplumbingandheating.com

the old site was a template site. i wanted to do something else and got talked into doing another site. same domain name and it was suppose to be a custom site. never backed anything up. i feel like i got taken for a huge ride on this.

yep thats my old website. i thought a custom site would be better for me but thats not the case. the lady who built my site worked for a media company doing sales and she built websites on the side. since then she has been fired from the company she worked for an the company has nothing to do with the site. she also has left the state an i can no longer get a hold of her (not that i would want to at this point anyway) so i guess my question is what do i do next. Should i scrap the site an start over with another one?

Then custom site is loosely defined. Unfortunately you're very correct about being taken for a huge ride.

The part about no backups is especially astounding. That is beyond inexcusable. I wouldn't even attempt to be nice when dealing with that level of incompetence, nor will I hold back on publicly stating that failure to create backups is a special kind of stupid. Okay no jokes about how I really feel.

Let's look at the positive though. It used to rank, that's good, recovery should be possible providing they didn't do something even more crazy like spam 20 some thousand bogus backlinks all over the Internet (seen that too many times).

Fortunately the Internet Archive may be useful too. Here's a snapshot from the middle of 2011:
