I have an on-page ranking report of 'A' for my search term 'titleist pro v1' on the following page:

How is it then that I am not even found in the top 50 results?
Many thanks in advance!

Great job!
Now you are ready to begin the battle of resources.

Hi Simon. Your on-page optimisation is just one of many factors. Just sorting out the on-page optimisation isn't going to be enough.
I notice from doing a keyword difficulty report that your chosen keyword seems to be highly competitive. The ranking sites have many more inbound links than you.
I also note that your page and site overall has very few inbound links and as such a low authority.
If you're going to want to compete for this keyword you're going to have to build some good quality inbound links. A good place to start may be by analysing your competition to see where they are getting their links from. Looking them up in Open Site Explorer is a great way to do this.
Hope this helps.

Much as people hate to hear it, On Page plays a very minor roll in what ranks and what doesnt.
Your page itself isnt a particularly strong page (only 1 inbound link pointing to it) but more importantly your domain itself is just not there.
Take a look at these 2 links:
The first is a comparison between your page and the page ranking in the lowest spot on page 1 for the phrase:
This second one is a broad look at those in the top 10 for that phrase:
Pay special attention the PA/DA scores, The root linking domains to both the page and the domain itself.
Right now it looks like your entire site has about 25 unique root linking domains. Thats something you'll want to work on. Try and get the best links you can of course but any links are going to make a big difference for you right now. Spread em around. A bunch to the home page, a couple to this specific page. This is going to be a major factor on when and how high you rank. Good luck!

Hi Simon,
Whilst having an 'A' on page grade is great, it isn't too difficult to achieve and by no means guarantees rankings on it's own.
Look into improving your PA/DA, work hard on improving the quality of links to your page and domain, with good anchor text as a start.Also don't forget about the Google products (which are featuring on the first page). Interact on review sites and get your company listed. There is a blog post below which should help.
SEO is a sum of many parts, pay attention to them all, not just one.
Good Luck.
Danny

Do you need to include the top menu on every single page of the site in the code?
When using cache: on google, and clicking on Text-only version, our site has the top menu gibberish on top? My feeling is that this take away SEO juice from our title and focus keyword. Our website is culinarydepotinc.com

How "Top" or "Best" are considered when in front of keyword
I would like to know if someone has proven info how google today counts words "Top" or "Best" when in front of main keywords you try to rank for. For example, if I have a keyword like "Restaurants in Madrid" and I optimize that page without using words "top" or "best" will it have good rankings for keywords "top restaurants in madrid" and "best restaurants in madrid" ? I suppose that google is smart enough to know that web page should be good ranked even without using those 2 words but would like to know percentage of my loss if I just exclude those words from title tag and other important onpage factors. I want to rank high for all the 3 combinations, with "top", with "best" and without it in front so searching for best solution. I plan just to add one of those words, for example "top" and hope that google will know that "top" = "best" 🙂

Top Level Category Pages
On certain sections e.g. Top Level Brand Pages i would like to include history, images of products in use, videos, and possibly even a timeline of the manufacturers history. Being that its a store this would push the products quite a bit lower on the page. Can i still have a great positive effect if its below the product listings?
