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?

Ranking Expectations and Search Intent Alignment
I've recently implemented the page optimization recommendations provided by Moz Pro to help our site rank for specific keywords on certain pages. It’s been about two weeks since we've added these URLs/keyword parings. The optimization scores for the targeted keywords and URLs are looking strong. Also, we've crafted these pages with keyword optimisation in mind. However, we have a couple of questions as we move forward: Ranking Expectations: Since our optimization scores are good, when might we start seeing improvements in our keyword rankings? We know that SEO results can take time, but we would appreciate any insights on a typical timeline based on your experiences. Optimization and Search Intent: While the tool’s optimization suggestions have been helpful in regards to giving us a score for a specific keyword, we’re curious about how this factors into search intent. How does this tool take into account variations in search intent, especially if users search using slight variations of the keywords we’re targeting? Thank you so much for your insight!

Using h2 for category on ecommerce website
Hi, I am working on an ecommerce site and the main category - lets call them car widgets - is using a h1 at the top of the page which is great. There are 4 sub categories on the page - lets call one of them red widget. The only content on the page is the sub category name and an image. Should the sub category red widget use a h2? Thanks S

Review markup not showing up in SERP anymore
Hi all, I have been collecting reviews for a little while now. Ofcourse im hoping to cross the 150 reviews border soon 🙂 But i also added the review markup to my website to show up in organic results. This was working fine for a while. I did not added the markup to my homepage. But now for somehow google is not showing this review markup anymore in search results. So i decided to give the company that is hosting the review tool (google partner also) a call. The informed me that they had a lot of calls and e-mails since 2 weeks from their customers. All with the same problem that review markup is not used in search results anymore. Anyone else had this, or know about this issue?

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??

Are blank Product Review pages bad for SEO?
Hi there, I'm running a new e-commerce site (BoatOutfitters.com) and have a question about our product review pages. On our current campaign, we have a lot of duplicate page content errors. When we export the data, it's almost all blank product review pages (since we are new, we don't have that many product reviews yet). Our product reviews aren't run through javascript, so we originally did not add them to a robots.txt file - however, I'm now wondering if it's worse to have all of these duplicate blank pages, or is it not affecting our SEO at all? Should we just wait until these products have reviews which will benefit our SEO and then they won't be considered "duplicate pages" - right? Sorry if this has been answered before - new here at SEO Moz and just looking for some help. Thanks!
