Submit your sitemap link through Google Webmaster Tools. You will need an account, and you'll have to verify you own the site, but this is a simple thing to do. When you are creating content for your website, optimize it by using the right keywords. You want to use keywords that searchers are searching for. Google Adwords Keyword Tool can help you find the right keywords. Write optimized content, but don't go crazy because search engines don't buy.
