This is exactly what I was looking for except instead of doing what I thought it would do, which is to include sub-headings underneath the main entry, but what I was hoping is that those headings would have been my categories. Instead, they are just random posts and tags. Here is a screencap that I took of what comes up:
http://tactiletracks.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/google.jpg

The layout is getting there. It's the way I want it, where there are subheadings, but instead of those posts that are listed, I want my categories to be there. For example, replace "ONE MusicFest 2012 Coverage" with "Festival Coverage" and they can click it and it would take them to the same page it would if you clicked on my category page at the right of my layout. Any ideas?

This isn't a matter of choosing keywords and stuffing content with them. Google's search bots can detect keyword stuffing and they can also dtect the inappropriate use of tags when the keywords in tags are not found in content. This is matter of writing naturally and as well as you can and forgetting all about SEO gaming.

As noted above - write some Posts that maybe explain your services, maybe highlight some of your recent projects, special problems you faced and how you solved them. In the Posts remember to mention your location, city and services -
