keywords you are targeting are not very competitive so it should not be too hard to move up a little higher. i see you already in the middle of front page and with some good quality contextual relevant link building and giving it a little more time should slowly move you up. regarding google local search, did you submit to google local map to be included?
Hey there, Bit of a newbie in the field so please bare with my ignorance I have register my busniess in the local business center for google if thats what you mean? What exactly do you mean by "contextual relevant link building" and how would I go about doing this? Is there anything anyone can suggest that will help me out with least amount of work? I am trying to do it myself to cut costs and dont have the time to fully seo it continually. A few key things that will help me keep up and/or dominate with my competition would be great.
contextual links are links within an article. for example, if a blogpost having an article related to your topic having a link within the article pointing to yuor site would be relevant contextual link.
Take a look at these SEO factors that I posted here at Digital Point. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1291299 Note: The second page of this topic also includes a link to a post that I created that related to link development when optimizing a website to establish relevancy of keywords and keyword phrases.
