Maybe the easiest way to get further up is to concentrate some time on Google+ Local. Get yourself a decent local setup with good keyword usage, make sure the account is 100% complete with photos, video etc and do some local citation building. Get as many of your previous clients to put reviews up (gradually) and once you get past 5 reviews you might see a jump onto page 1. From what I see here in the UK the competition is pretty weak for Buffalo apartments for Local so this might be your best route back to page 1.
Any thoughts from anyone else on this approach?Ant

Get back to basics! I love the fact that onsite SEO tactics are still as important as they are!! Social engagement is another biggie! Use Facebook, twitter, Google + & YouTube to spread content.

Anthony has very good advise.
I would add, when writing content either on a blog or on pages or descriptions be very natural, try not to sound to much like a cheap car salesman and DON'T stuff the content with keywords. Also don't be afraid to make your reviews public. Good and bad, all work great for your site, use the bad reviews to improve service, also respond to them.

Attempting to check your website from my office and I get this::
Malicious website blocked
| Rating: | Dangerous | Verified fraudulent page or threat source. |
What You Can Do:
This could be our software but this isn't something I have gotten before. You might make sure your website hasn't been hacked.... I know this doesnt really answer your question but it might be worth looking in to.

It appears you have no real links coming into your sites apart from non related ones. If you look at the first page of Google for the search term you are competing against some websites with decent domain authority. Go back to basics, look at your content, get yourself a decent link building campaign and build for the long term. Have you thought about targeting the longer keyword phrases that are less competitive? In my eyes for example your meta title is too long and rather keyword stuffed if I read it with human eyes. How about Social, do people share you on facebook twitter, etc etc.
If I was looking for an apartment I would be wanting to find out about the various areas, transport, price changes, etc. Thought about a blog to increase the content and cover stuff that people might want to find out about?

Can I put the company name in the image alt text instead of just the service type im trying to rank for?
Hello, if I am trying to rank for a service type and the exact phrase is in the companies name, can I put the company name in the image alt text instead of just the service type? Seizing the opportunity to get another mention of the businesses name...two birds with the one stone if you will... For example, "lawn cutting" being the service type but the company's name is Paul's lawn cutting. Could i put Pauls Lawn Cutting in the image alt text, or just stick to lawn cutting? Thanks in advance

How does the suggested website functionality work in Safari?
I don't seem to be able to find out much information on this one. Safari often shows a suggested website as you start typing a query into the browser. I've uploaded a screenshot to help show what I mean. safari-suggested-site.png

Website Speed Testing Tools
I have been experimenting with a number of plugins to speed up the loading of my wordpress site and find that website speed testing tools are all over the map when it comes to results. Even the same tool can produce vastly different results. Does anyone have experience with one that is both dependable and consistent?

Should you try to rank for misspelled keywords?
Hi there, 2 part question: Is it best practice to try to rank for misspelled keywords that bring in lots of traffic or should you instead just try to rank for the correct spelling of that keyword and hope that you rank better on the misspelling as an indirect result? E.G. The misspelled keyword "Hamilton island accomodation" is a common misspelling that brings in traffic but we have an "F" rank for that term (obviously because we spell accommodation correctly on our site). We don't want to misspell anything but are there techniques to rank better for misspellings that won't hurt content quality? The On-Page Optimization tool says that our website doesn't rank in the top 50 on Google Aus for "Accomodation Hamilton Island" or "Hamilton Island Accomodation" but when i do a manual search, we actually are the first result. Is this an error with the On-Page optimization tool? Thanks!
