How the heck are we not in the Top 10?

[TaxGuy]

For the term "tax preparation Phoenix" which looks to be one of the few "local" search terms worth targeting, here's what the Market Samurai SEOC Matrix looks like:



As you can see, the top competitor is ranked at #3 and the only advantages he has over our site is an older domain, KW in the URL and KW in the header(how do I do this? I couldn't find "Header" on my Platinum SEO for WP).

I already submitted us for the DMOZ this morning and will be calling the #1 page today to see how much it costs to be listed in that "directory".

I've got him killed though in BLP and used to be a PR2, but even at PR1 have an advantage over his PR0. Is the DA of 8yrs really that big of a deal? Or is it the on-page SEO?
