Default Keyword 'website' - does Goggle ignore?

Seeking SEOs opinions...

1) I believe my homepage is quite well optimized for my three main service areas - two of my target keyphrases rank top of P1 but my third targeted keyphrase 'website design perth' is P2/P3 (google.com.au)

2) However I rank fifth on P1 for more generic 'design perth'

3) Webmaster Tools > What googlebot sees > lists 100 words from my site's content and 'website' is not in the list, despite being used quite a lot on the homepage and throughout the site (and more than many of the words in the list)

4) The keyword 'website' is #1 in the list of external links to my site (keywords) and 'website design perth' is the third (keyphrase)

Is Google somehow ignoring the word 'website' - perhaps because it's used 'out-of-context' on many sites eg: 'welcome to my website....', 'this website is about....' and so on?

Would I be better off refining to focus on 'web design perth' as a target keyphrase?

Any thoughts / tips would be much appreciated.
