Search engines find pages by following links, so a page with no internal links pointing at it is hard to discover and tends to be treated as unimportant. Internal links also distribute authority. A page that many of your other pages reference reads as central, which is why the homepage and main service pages usually rank most easily. Good structure is shallow and logical: homepage to service categories to specific services and locations, with supporting content linking up to the page it supports. Three clicks from the homepage to anything is a reasonable target.
This is the cheapest SEO fix available to most service businesses and it is almost always neglected. Blog posts sit in isolation, city pages link only to the homepage, and the pages that actually generate calls get nothing. Go through your content and add links from every informational page to the relevant service page using descriptive anchor text. An HVAC company with forty articles and no links into its repair page is leaving all of that authority stranded. An afternoon of linking often moves rankings without a word of new content.
