Target term hits a glass ceiling despite A grade

[Nightwing]

Greetings from 13 degrees C wetherby UK

Ive hit a roadbloack in my attempts to get a target term onto page one, below is a url pointing to  a graph illustrting the situation. The target term is on the graph (I'm reluctant to stick it in here incase this page comes up)

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/glass-ceiling-office-to-let.jpg

This is what Ive done to date for page -
http://www.sandersonweatherall.co.uk/office-to-let-leeds/

1. Ensured the Markup follows SEO best parctice
2. Internally linked to the page via a scrolling footer
3. Shortened the URL
4. Requested the Social media efforts points links to the page
5. Requested additional content

But i wonder... Is the reason for hitting a glass ceiling now down to lack of content ie just one page or is there a deeper issue of an indexing road block?

Any insights welcome

The points which you've mentioned/explained is only related to optimization. What exactly are you doing on promotion part.

I guess you must be promoting this page via:

1. Guest Blogging
2. Forum Participation
3. Directory Listing (High quality directories, regardless of NO/DoFollow and PR)
4. Article Syndication
5. PRs, etc.
6. Sharing content on FB, Twitter, G+, etc. (very important)

If not then start immediately. Optimization helps in better indexing but not directly in SE Rankings.

Apply variation in Anchor Texts while developing links, so that it looks natural. for e.g:

1. office to let deals in Leeds
2. office to let Leeds
3. office to let in Leeds, etc.

It appears as if the bounce of this page would be relatively high, NO?

Hitting the A grade in terms of on page, in most cases, doesn't mean your site will make it to page one. So the next step is to delve deeper into your off page.

Couple of Suggestions:

• Maybe support the page more by linking through from your own blog (http://thesandersonweatherallblog.com/) with useful content.  Have your social team spread the message to your target audience and you should earn a few back links for this.
• Take link data pulls from OSE or Majestic of your competition who are ranking on page one for your target term and have a look at the types of links they use and see if you can "piggy back" of their methods.
• With the geographic nature of your target search term, you will always be up against places listings within the SERP, it may be worth optimising you places listing at your office in the centre of Leets around this search term.
