Other SEO Thoughts:

Optimizing a home page is always hard. Because generally you want the home page to show off everything you do, rather than just one thing. It's better to optimize the home page of your site for your site name or a generic term that describes what it's about, than to try to get specific. Instead, try to get high ranking for inner pages for very specific terms, and use the home page as a reference for people who already know about your site to get to the various inner pages.

I would add the keyword phrase to the meta title, and convert the headline of the page into an <h1> headline. Then get the keywords into the rest of the page content, especially in the first paragraph of text.
