Maybe the easiest way to get further up is to concentrate some time on Google+ Local. Get yourself a decent local setup with good keyword usage, make sure the account is 100% complete with photos, video etc and do some local citation building. Get as many of your previous clients to put reviews up (gradually) and once you get past 5 reviews you might see a jump onto page 1. From what I see here in the UK the competition is pretty weak for Buffalo apartments for Local so this might be your best route back to page 1.
Any thoughts from anyone else on this approach?Ant

Get back to basics! I love the fact that onsite SEO tactics are still as important as they are!! Social engagement is another biggie! Use Facebook, twitter, Google + & YouTube to spread content.

Anthony has very good advise.
I would add, when writing content either on a blog or on pages or descriptions be very natural, try not to sound to much like a cheap car salesman and DON'T stuff the content with keywords. Also don't be afraid to make your reviews public. Good and bad, all work great for your site, use the bad reviews to improve service, also respond to them.

Attempting to check your website from my office and I get this::
Malicious website blocked
| Rating: | Dangerous | Verified fraudulent page or threat source. |
What You Can Do:
This could be our software but this isn't something I have gotten before. You might make sure your website hasn't been hacked.... I know this doesnt really answer your question but it might be worth looking in to.

It appears you have no real links coming into your sites apart from non related ones. If you look at the first page of Google for the search term you are competing against some websites with decent domain authority. Go back to basics, look at your content, get yourself a decent link building campaign and build for the long term. Have you thought about targeting the longer keyword phrases that are less competitive? In my eyes for example your meta title is too long and rather keyword stuffed if I read it with human eyes. How about Social, do people share you on facebook twitter, etc etc.
If I was looking for an apartment I would be wanting to find out about the various areas, transport, price changes, etc. Thought about a blog to increase the content and cover stuff that people might want to find out about?

Does DA/PA have any effect on rankings?
I have seen many people are concerned about increasing DA and PA of their websites. While I am very curious why do people focus on increasing DA and PA? Does DA and PA effect the rankings of the website? Because I have recently launched my website regarding men beard trimmer and it is ranking on 1st page but not on number 1 position. Will increasing DA/PA of the site help me in occupying 1st position?

Can I put the company name in the image alt text instead of just the service type im trying to rank for?
Hello, if I am trying to rank for a service type and the exact phrase is in the companies name, can I put the company name in the image alt text instead of just the service type? Seizing the opportunity to get another mention of the businesses name...two birds with the one stone if you will... For example, "lawn cutting" being the service type but the company's name is Paul's lawn cutting. Could i put Pauls Lawn Cutting in the image alt text, or just stick to lawn cutting? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know of a tool where you can get all of the keyword that any given landing page is ranking for?
I'd like to find out what landing pages are ranking for which keywords, but I haven't been able to find a tool that does it. I was hoping there would be something where I could submit the url and get a list of every keyword it is ranking for. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

Why I am ranking for irrelevant keywords
My website is e-commerce and used to rank for all industry related keywords like buy widgets, cheap widgets, online widgets in top10. And suddenly my website was hacked and to resolve this hacking issue i have re-write all my dynamic urls into static pages after that new pages are indexed and ranking well. But after few months i have notice few changes in keywords ranking going down. But suddenly after Google Algo (EMD/Panda) update on Sept 27 i lost all my positions. And then according to Google guidelines i have worked on over optimization and low quality pages. I have removed all tones of low quality pages from SERP and simultaneously worked on url re-write. But i have notice small percent of changes in keyword positions like when Google Algo (EMD/Panda) is rolled out i lost my keyword positions from 1st page to 200 page and after working on over optimization and low quality pages the keywords are came back to 100 pages. Recently i have notice that my web pages ranking for irrelevant keywords. For example, let's say i used to rank for home page for these keywords; buy widgets, cheap widgets, online widgets but now am ranking for different inner pages say (guide pages). Can any one suggest me whats wrong..

Website Speed Testing Tools
I have been experimenting with a number of plugins to speed up the loading of my wordpress site and find that website speed testing tools are all over the map when it comes to results. Even the same tool can produce vastly different results. Does anyone have experience with one that is both dependable and consistent?

Website accessible on http and https. Is it bad?
We noticed that our website is accessible on: http://www.example.com and https://www.example.com Both the versions have page rank of 4. Though on https version we have added canonical tag indicating http:// version as preferred. Is this fine or we need to use 301 redirect and let the site be accessible only on http:// version??
