The first few lines of on-page text and last few lines are very important. The very first line of on-page text on your site is as equally important as your <title>. You have been sadly mislead. This is one of the more important things at the top of the list.
The first text makes an almost for sure site description when getting listed in google if that first text is starts with your main searched for keyword or phrase.

It might help to have a "link to us" page also so they don't have to guess what anchor text you would like displayed on another site.
