Apparently Google recognises that "grants" word in the URL (as you noted with the highlighting part), I wonder if an hyphen would've improved the situation? Definitely communications in the URL (even if not in the domain, but in the right part) would've helped ranking (for "tranin communications"). | |

Maybe a hyphen in the domain name would have helped? tranin-grants.com? Although a verbatim search for tranin grants does return another page on the site at #7 and hightlights the URL as the match. (I wonder why "communications" was omitted from the domain?)
