I am sort of mystified at this . I have a homepage and it is for all intents and purposes optimized for the search term Charlotte electrician . If you type in Charlotte electrician I have no organic listing for this page . It does receive an A on the tool on this Site for the term target Charlotte electrician . Here is the URL http://www.providenceelectricnc.com/ now the strange thing is that for the search term electrician Charlotte the tool on SEO Moz gives me an F grade **as I would expect  but I am the number one organic listing under electrician Charlotte . This is truly confusing to me it may have something to do with links but I don't see how at all . Thanks I've been studying search engine optimization and web development for about five years and appreciate any suggestion . this is a Joomla! site and I am running a lot of components and plug-ins . One combines CSS files and JavaScript files to minimizing HTTP requests . This particular component Seems to interfere with other scripts And is simply not compatible with certain other plug-ins . Perhaps it is the source or well I'm not sure thanks . **

For some reason Google was giving more weight to this page for the keyword "Charlotte electrician"

http://www.providenceelectricnc.com/localelectrician.html

Which you’re ranking on 15^th page for

Unfortunately I couldn’t tell you why because you have a 404 error on that page which is a bad thing

If possible quickly 301 redirect it to home page to pass some of its lasting juice

Secondly you seem to be having a canonical error which forces twin domains battling for SERP positions.

Also causing a possibility of a duplicate content issue

I suggest you 301 redirect the non www to the www since you are already ranking on it

This is a great start that should get you rolling in the right direction and a possible change for the better

By the way, nice looking site

Looks like you're ranking really well in local results for Charlotte Electrician, around #2. Here's a screenshot: https://skitch.com/cyrusshepard/8cht3/fullscreen

I also see this when I remove localization and personalization effects, so it's safe to assume you're actually ranking pretty well for this term, even if you're not listed in the "regular" results. Google has been constantly changing the way it displays and mixes local results with "regular"  - but I'm going to step out on a limb and say that these days, your good showing should be considered equal to a regular result, for all practical purposes.

As for you ranking for "Electrician Charlottte", you may receive an F grade, but Google is more sophisticated at interpreting natural language, use of synonyms and intent, and obviously understands your page deserves to rank for this term even if you don't spell it out in concrete SEO defined terms.

All in all, looks like you're doing a lot of things right. Good luck with the rankings!

I noticed you made the changes that I recommended except for one thing.  You fixed the 404 error on this page http://www.providenceelectricnc.com/localelectrician.html but did not 301 redirect it to the home page which is where your trying to rank for.  I would say unless you trying to rank for "Charlotte electrician" on http://www.providenceelectricnc.com/localelectrician.html it could possibly be fine but you then have a bigger issue. Both your home page http://www.providenceelectricnc.com and http://www.providenceelectricnc.com/localelectrician.html are duplicates.  Bad Idea!  If you redirect the http://www.providenceelectricnc.com/localelectrician.html to home page with a 301 redirect you should be able to garner most of the juice to home page.
