    Use the Google Webmaster tool for getting the details. May be there are some bad back links. How you are doing the SEO?

    I switched to google.co.uk and found your site in position 8 for gamma knife, position 144 for radiosurgery and no where in the first 1000 results for brain tumor or brain toumor.

    I no longer actively pursue google rankings so I cannot advise you what, if any, action to take but based on what I read here in WF it would appear you may be experiencing the Google dance? And the possibility that your page is not good enough to rank for the 2nd and 3rd keywords.

    Compliments on your site. It is clean and has the kind of "look" that a biomedical site should have. That means credibility, a prerequisite for such a high level topic.

    My hunch is, like GlobalTrader suggested, you are probably experiencing a typical "google dance" as G. is trying to figure out where to position your site's index page. This is the kind of KW google will bounce around to find out how people respond to it in different positions in the SERPs.

    Consider how competitive the generic terms "brain tumor" or even "radiosurgery" are. Major competition from .edu sites, where medical scientists at research universities discuss these subjects.

    These are linked, cited, and circulated globally. They will show up in government websites at all levels, regional, state and federal (I'm using the U.S. as analogue for the U.K.). That is real competition.

    Maybe curating biotech/medical science content from the .edu's and .gov's dominating this segment will help your index page settle into ranking along with them.

        You're welcome, iquince. Your medical sites are impressive. I'm pretty sure I see what is going on with this.

        Queen Square is a neighborhood near Bristol with University College London (UCL) nearby. UCL is strong in medical science research. Major academic centers often have "spin off effects" as auxiliary businesses and professionals gravitate to them. Research and medical facilities that have emerged around UCL near Queen Square are an example of this.

        As you know, Google draws inferences about the authority your site has in the market segment for that specific geotargeted region.

        If you search the term Queen Square, on Google page 1 you'll see several references to the influence of medical science in the area:

        UCL Institute of Neurology
        National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery - UCL
        Queen Square Library - UCL
        Queen Square Brain Bank
        and on and on in this way over the next several pages.
        (Queen Square Medical Imaging Center, Neurolibrary, etc, )

        In comparison, if you google the term Thornbury you won't see anything like this. For local competitors around Thornbury there doesn't appear to be anything notable. However, Thornbury Hospital's neurosurgery facility appears to be in Sheffield, not Thornbury.

        What Google views as most relevant for these places probably affects how it is bouncing your index pages around. It will do this until they settle into place with metrics for visitor time on site, external links, and quality of the content for related topics. And as you see, health science is a hot topic around UCL. This poses challenges for your queensquaremedicalsite index page.

        Despite this, your index page did well initially. Google gave you "the benefit of the doubt." Your domain name has "queensquare" (medicalsciencespecialty), it has good navigation and content, and it is not monetized in any direct way.

        Eventually Google let the authority web pages on established sites you had leap-frogged over earlier regain their place. These are medical science sites for researchers having global reputation. This process is referred to as the so called "google dance." Google tries to sift through what it has to work with.

        Geotargeting Queen Square in this industry means you are going up against the kinds of websites that give the term "Authority Site" its definition. Your sites are clean and professional. I would continue adding articles about research topics and link out as much as possible to pages presenting work being done in their respective medical fields.

        This may be the kind of site that could do well sourcing current health science news, then rewriting it to make it original. You can do this without diluting your site's focus.

        In medical science there are always conferences and symposia where professionals share their work through videotaped presentations. You can select some from UCL or researchers in the Queen Square area, curate these and add them to your site. It should help you gain authority locally as an information resource and rank higher.
