No clues about the site and the first two links I clicked are dead ends.

The way I like to think of it is smooth seas do not make a skillful sailor, it will up your game. On the other hand you could go round and torch his van.  :D

I wouldn't worry about it, the website is crap and people won't stay on it for long.

His site isn't easy on the eye that's for sure. Getting no1 again for all your key phrases is important especially if they don't trigger maps.

It's the other way around Simon.

Google decide which phrases trigger maps. Most reasonably populated areas trigger a map, but it depends on competition density and lots of other factors we are not party to. So there's little point putting in a lot of time on google maps if your main phrases don't trigger one (but most do now).

To increase page rank you need to A) constantly update your site, and B) increase the amount of incoming backlinks.

PR is mainly a measure of "linkback worthy-ness". For example a PR5 site owner would think twice about exchanging links with another site that has a PR2.

I think his site has too much process naming which most customers are not interested in. They are buying clean carpets not carpet cleaning.

Mark,

I've looked at this with a "clean" pc today and it looks like as DaveP said, that you are getting false results.

You need to clear all of your cookies and browsing history.

Presuming we are talking about Halifax, I've got you at no.1 and the other down at the bottom (same as Dave).

You've both got poor backlinks (his are slightly more varied) but your on page optimisation is much better (which seems to be doing the trick).
