Keyword Optimization/Traffic Confusion

[fisher318]

Hello everyone, I am looking forward to hearing from anyone that can offer thorough, positive feedback to my situation here. I have been using a keyword tool on seobook.com, which I have found to be a great keyword phrase tool, as I love the way it breaks down the forecasted traffic. I just recently decided to re-brand my web site, and target local marketing terms to try and get even a hint of business coming in through the web =) I rank in the top 5 of Google for many of these terms that all listed on the tool's average daily search volumes of 15-45, and I have top placements for many, many of these words, but yet, according to Google analytics, I don't seem to be getting much traffic at all, maybe 2-3 visitors through search engines per week, but that's about it.

For example, in the report you will find I rank #2 on Google for one word which the tool says should get 30 searches per day on Google & I rank #2 on Google for another term which should get 8 searches per day on Google. I know that's not a lot of traffic, however I have only received 5 visitors in 25 days through the search engines according to Google's analytics, regardless of the fact that I have many top 5 placements.

I dont know where to start in my search for a solution, and was wondering if someone could drop a hint as to why the numbers don't seem to match up. Thanks in advance for any constructive help anyone can offer
