Why does Google's search results display my home page instead of my target page?

[JohnSammon]

It comes down to a lot of factors but the typical reason is because the homepage has the most inbound links which gives it the most authority. In order to rank an inner page over a homepage:

1. I would make sure that you have the inner page properly optimized (500+ words of content with a few mentions of the keyword phrase)

2. Make sure to inner link to the page within your site where it makes sense. A high number of inner links usually helps rank the page

3. Build some external links to that landing page as part of your overall link building campaign

I hope that helps!
