Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Webious, Please forgive me if this question is basic, but I have to ask before answering in more detail. Did you put either 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new ones or canonical tags on the new URLs (and remove them on the old - if they were there) in place? Dana

Yes sorry, that's what I meant It can't be exact of course as SEOmoz don't know the algo, but it's as close as anyone is going to get.

Have you obtained local citation type links?  Links that come from other sites and directories with similar or the same geographic location signals on them?  They're vital.  Also, have you obtained a wide variety of links pointing to your internal pages? And how well optimized is your site compared to the others showing up?   Have you created a sweet  spot chart to compare your site to theirs? For example - how many pages does your site have for "renovations" compared to those competitors?  Even though Place page ranking has rules unique to Place pages, these optimization factors are still important.
