      Hi

      New to Moz, I'm finding it all very helpful and daunting at the same time. I've read heaps of Seo the Moz content and watched every Video I can find.

      It's all going well and I've managed to get A's on some of my pages,

      I was hoping some one cold tell me why this site (Link to screan grab http://tinypic.com/r/dnj9di/8 ) is way above me in the Google search results? It appears to be under performing me in Moz but in actual fact it is greatly out performing me in Google.

      Any insights are more than gratefully received!

      Thanks

      Ben

        Hi,

        My suggestion is that it is possibly to do with particular keywords. Someone may put me right on this but you could have higher ranks etc loads of link juice but if there are particular keywords that are well used by the offending site then it might be that.

          Hi

          looking at their site http://www.funeral-catering-services.co.uk/ they don't even use the key word I used, "funeral caterers" and the word "Funeral" is only in the copy 3 times and "caterer" is not used once, This is so confusing!

          Thanks for your reply

            Hi,

            This may also be a local search issue? I have just done the same search (based near Leicester) and i get the following results...

            http://twitpic.com/ebjqpi

            So you are coming 3rd in the results... Try clearing your cache etc when doing the search and/or doing it in incognito window in Chrome. See if your results are different.

              • Why are the rankings of my keywords different to rankings from other programmes such as 'Access my Lan' and 'Firefly'? Does SEOMoz count 'Google Places and Maps' in their rank count? Im thinking this could explain the difference
