Purchased domain

[GordyH]

We purchased the existing domain www.LancasterPA.com two years ago to promote local businesses.  While individual pages within the site are ranking well, we can't get the home page to rank at all in Google.  Would there be anything in the history of the domain that could be standing in the way?  Or, what else could we check? Our other regional websites are ranking really well.  Thanks.

What keywords are you trying to rank for? The title for your home page reads: Lancaster, PA | Lancaster County Information Center

If I type "Lancaster PA information", your home page ranks well. I'm guessing you're trying to rank for something else, so why not start with the basics and optimize the title/description and headings to target your chosen keywords?

Thanks for your comment.  The home page for LancasterPA.com isn't in the top 50 for

• Lancaster

• Lancaster, PA

• Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Those would be our main keywords.  I'll re-think our current structure, but I'd welcome other suggestions. Eventually I'd like to move our other site (www.800PaDutch.com) to this domain, but I first want to make sure there isn't an issue with the home page ranking well.
