For on-page SEO, you'll want to make sure you place keywords or phrases NATURALLY within the text of your website. Don't keyword stuff! You want to have quality content. Try to put a keyword link back to your homepage in the body. Change your “Home” link to have your keyword in the anchor text, rather than “Home”. If you can’t within the main menu, include it within the left menu or footer.
