I think that's a Trigglet.

There are ways to triggle it but no way to force it.
As far as I was aware you can use webmaster tools to request a crawler visit, which you'd normally do if you've done a lot of changes, but not to request it visits every 5 minutes forever. Pretty sure Spiceworks is constantly crawled because it is a massively popular site.
-
Spiceworks is not crawled, I don't think. Well it is, but not every minute. Instead they send an update signal to the Google API like any blog can opt to do (or used to at least) so that Google is aware that a change has been made and exactly what it is so that instead of crawling the entire site they just crawl the new content.

Using this website I found that you have a 302 (temporary) redirect from http://pinnaclemetalbuildings.com and was taken to http://pinnaclestructures.wix.com/pinnaclestructures. This is wrong and should be fixed with a page by page 301 redirect.
You also have a 301 redirect in place for http://pinnaclestructures.com to http://pinnaclestructures.com.
Because of the 302 for the index page or home page the rest of the pages for http://pinnaclemetalbuidlings.com are live pages.
You should have a 301 redirect from http://pinnaclemetalbuildings.com/contact.html to http://www.pinnaclestructures.com/#!form__map/c24vq (which is the contact page).
Wix is not as SEO friendly as WordPress, but follow the stuff from Marketing Grader and it will help you a lot. I would start with the SEO section which deals with your image tags and unique page titles and descriptions.
I know I did the above and yes, weeks later, our search results are still quite a mess...I will check my settings again but was wondering if anyone had any other advice on how to get this...I mean, our default www.pinnaclestructures.com doesn't even return in search results...

You still have a temporary redirect from the old site to the domain.wix.com address instead of a 301 redirect to the new website. Also it doesn't appear that you have done 301 redirects page to page, which is very important. This will cause you to lose all search rankings you previously had.

Right...I am checking because I thought I had set that up on the WIX end...

No, the 302 redirect is on the website/hosting from the old website. The redirect you are using is only for the home page also, which is why this page is still working: http://pinnaclemetalbuildings.com/contact.html
