Hi over a sustained period we have been in the to 2 pages on google and other search engines but in recent times we have lost our place and for a lot of items that were there they have disapeered

I have checked with google and it seems our website has errors that google and others see as not right

I have also had lots of these people who send me emails to say that our website is poor when it comes to search engine compatibility

something has changed but not sure what

can you help and direct me

Hi Ian

Anyone contacting you out of the blue are likely to be scammers.

Do you have Google Analytics / Console enabled on your sites?

Yes, never respond to these - most all of them are scammers or at minimum will enlist black hat tactics on your site.
They tell you that your site is performing poorly to get you to react.

Hi Yes

I never entertain them but cannot understand why we have lost our positions

I have google analytics

not the other one

I try to do the best on my own

but one of the team at the web hosts looked and said I had a lot of old html and redundant code

which makes the website conflict with google search

THIS IS TYPICAL CODE FOR A DESCRIPTION

<div align="center">Annabelle is our brand new lop bunny and is pantomime in style. She is fully jointed and has been created using several different plush fabrics in natural browns, soft creams, white and deep chocolate. Her flat paw pads enable her to stand on her own and her gently curved paws help her strike lots of different poses. She has tiny bright eyes and our signature Charlie Bears who me look. A delicate pale pink thread has been used to form her small bunny nose and a floppy sheer ribbon adds a touch of glamour as her accessory. </div>
<div align="center">The rest of her Family are Glade, Woodland </div>

IS THIS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE DONE

IMHO, on your home page, you have an over use of <h1> tags.

I would also switch the site fully over to SSL considering the upcoming change to Googles Chrome browser (Chrome 68) in July. Globally Chrome is used by 58% of users [url]http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share[/url]

Sinbad created a very good post about adding SSL to a website
