Moz On page grader shows A grade for the particular URL,but my page was not ranking on top 100 Google search.

Any help is appreciated ,Thanks

Hi there

The page grader is great for on-page optimization for particular keywords or queries, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee rankings.

Reason being - the keywords/queries you are trying to rank for could be incredibly competitive or difficulty to rank for. Your industry SERPs could be taken over by big brand names or companies that have been around a long time with authority built in the industry.

There are a multitude of factors to consider in your ranking position:
Domain / Page Authority
Backlinks
Personalized Search Personas, Keyword Research, & Content 
Schema markup opportunities
Local SEO
And a ton more...

I would recommend paying attention to your Average Position in Google Search Console so that you can pay attention to how Google is ranking your site directly. Given personalized search and the factors that play into it, this is a good gauge on where you rank across multiple factors (location, device, search history, etc.)

I would also recommend you check out the multiple guides that Moz has, as well as the Moz Academy - both have tons of great resources and can get you started on the right foot to ranking for what you want to be ranking for.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

If your page secured the "A" grade in on-page, it doesn't mean you will be in top 100 now.

Various other factors including backinks, targeted traffic, technical SEO things and lots of other things are also very important.

Hope this helps!

The site which was ranking at no 4 and 5 does not have much optimization and backlinks but it was ranking at no 4.

Is there any tool to find out why the site is ranking at no 4 and why it is not.

Thanks

Honestly speaking there is no such tool exist that precisely let you know why you're not ranking and others are.

But in terms of backlinks comparison, you may utilize Moz analytics feature and OSE's "Compare Link Metrics" & "Link Opportunities" options.

Thanks,

I'd actually recommend checking out the Moz Keyword Difficulty Tool, and the Full SERP Analysis Report it can generate. That can give you a breakdown of the factors that are most likely helping the top 10 sites for a given keyword rank, which can in turn help you work out what you'll need to do.

Cyrus Shepard made a great video on it here.
