You do not need to contact Google to become part of their search engine. Google and other engines use spiders to index webpages, and only the search engine will decide what keywords are used and what rank you get. Make sure you Title Tag is relevant to your website as this is the most important tag for SEO in Google. The character limit of the title tag should be 160. Description is another important Meta tag and should not be used to stuff keywords. Remember search engines are much more intelligent and if you try to trick them, chances are that your website will be dropped. Meta Tags which were once used to identify keywords are now ignored by Google.

<head>
<title>Your relevant title goes here</title>
<meta name="Description" content="Proper description of your website, do not stuff with keywords.">
<meta name="Keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2, keyword3">
</head>
