Ranking factors for national and local

[MaddDogg]

What SEO impact factors am I missing if I am ranked 1st on Google for a keyword, but not ranked local search? The keyword being setup like {"company industry" "location" }. Its ranked 4th when searched on google and the location is specific to the location in the keyword. I've tried to varify that all of my citations are correct and identical. When I compare my sites Domain Authority and links to its competitors, I should be dominating that search. If you guys have any incite it would  be greatly appreciated.

You say you're 4th - are any of the SERPs specifically local/map listings, or is it a normal SERP with no map?

Is it the type of industry where dedicating a page to the region/location would be valuable?

Thanks for coming to Q&A with your question Madd Dogg!

I wonder if this article on the recent Venice update in Local describes what you are seeing:

If not, could you return to this thread and provide a little more detail about your situation, please? Thanks!

Thanks guys for your help. Kane I appreciate your response I just don't think I phrased my question right. Miriam, your link helped me to identify key factors into why I have not been able to achieve the SERP movement desired. The Venice update seems like the most likely culprit for m y issues.

THANKS!
