      Is it possible to be penalized on an interior page but not the whole website?

      Here's why I ask, I have a page:  www.thesandiegocriminallawyer.com/domestic-violence.html that is not ranking well (p. 21 of Google) while the rest of the site ranks well (b/w p.1 to p.3).

      I checked the link profile in opensiteexplorer, ahrefs, and majesticseo but can't find any problems.

      I have also checked the HTML code, CSS, keyword optimization, but can't find any problems there either.

      Can anyone give me insight into why this might be happening?

      Of course, I'm working under the assumption that this page SHOULD be ranked higher for "San Diego Domestic Violence Attorney" - at least higher than page 21.

        Yes, it's possible to be penalised for a single page or single keyword.

        Your page has mostly  san diego domestic violence lawyer as the anchor text. You might want to stop doing that altogether.

        I didnt take a look at your competitors though so they might be more SEO, but there's a possibility that you got a minor penalty for that keyword phrase.
