For keywords you can start with something like this:

computer, repair, computer repair,service, IT, troubleshooting, on site, PC, pc, tech, support, help, upgrades, network, installation, virus, removal, detection, firewalls, security, wireless networks, data recovery, custom computers, training, computer problems, George Town, Georgetown, georgetown, georgetown">

For google maps:

SEO is not only about using the Description and Keywords metatags in the html. Google is far more sophisticated. Important items to get better rankings are:


The title of the page. Company name, location, and key services can all be part of the title
The home page should start with a paragraph or two that describes your website/company and should use your keywords, but not overuse them.
Get links from highly ranked sites to point to your website
