95% of organic traffic lands in my homepage, despite having a 250 page website with a "seo optimized" hierarchical structure. Any suggestion as to what might be happening?

Challenging issue
All the "usual suspects" have been discarded: all pages included in google index, no google penalties, metas optimized, kw's segregated by pages/cluster of pages to avoid cannibalization...
BUT, we know we are missing something
website is www.e-florex.com and is an e-commerce site based on magento
Any ideas you might think are worth exploring?
Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks for your interesting and wise recommendations. It is 22:00 here in Spain, but I can't wait to start digging tomorrow on the new insights you have provided me

Thanks for providing the URL. The website is in Spanish which slows me down.
The observation I would make is that though you have some great back links - according to Semrush you do not appear to be ranking in the first few for high volume keywords in your customer category. I do not have time to review your backlinks but I would review them and see whether you are targeting the right anchor text.
Then secondly I would consider becoming more page focused for the keywords you are targeting. So get backlink anchor text specific with pages you want to rank for.
ie The below words you do not appear to rank well for. (not sure what any of them mean!)
Keyword Volume CPC SERP source flores 74,000 0.95 rosario flores 33,100 0.11 flores de bach 27,100 0.39 lola flores 18,100 0.09 florida 12,100 Finally if you have time I would do a competitor analysis - maybe a keyword density check on the keywords you are targeting - see if anything is drastically different from your competitors. Maybe they have great content blogs etc. I am not sure. I wish I could understand Spanish though!
All the best.

Hey Juan,
By conducting the initial analysis, I can conclude that most of the backlinks are pointing to your homepage. Look at the OSE's attached screenshot with this response.
I'd suggest you to apply following things as well,
- Implement RichSnippets
- In your guest posts (if you're doing), link to your service pages.
- Massively promote your service pages on social media
- Launch a blog section and produce useful content to target long-tail keywords and link your service pages.
- Target your service pages in the paid-advertising.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

Regarding SEO Structured Data
1. Should we add organization schema on all pages of the website OR just homepage? 2. What is the best practice for catalog page schema as every website is following a different pattern?

SEO transfer to new website
My website currently has some strong SEO and i will be re-developing the website on a wordpress platform...which will change many of the existing URL. Will this affect the current pages that are well indexed in Google? Does using Wordpress or changing the URL extension (.html to .php) make a difference? If i want to make a clean transition without effecting our existing SEO...what are some essential steps i need to take? Example. Current page is www.mydomain.com/name.html .... and the new URL would be www.mydomain.com/product/name.php Thanks

Do I need to use rel="canonical" on pages with no external links?
I know having rel="canonical" for each page on my website is not a bad practice... but how necessary is it for pages that don't have any external links pointing to them? I have my own opinions on this, to be fair - but I'd love to get a consensus before I start trying to customize which URLs have/don't have it included. Thank you.

Problem with SEO for my Image based website.
My website focuses on movie posters. I'm having a little debate on what is the best way to have images linked to. The current image location is stored like this: /movie-name/poster-1.jpg
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | thedevilseeker
/movie-name/poster-2.jpg Is it best to leave it like that or change it to : /movie-name/movie-name-poster-1.jpg
/movie-name/movie-name-poster-1.jpg The reason I ask, is that I read today that Google uses the image name to help detect what the image is about. At the same time, if the movie name is the in folder structure, along with the image name... wouldn't it start to look like keyword stuffing?0 -
Can I reduce number of on page links by just adding "no follow" tags to duplicate links
Our site works on templates and we essentially have a link pointing to the same place 3 times on most pages. The links are images not text. We are over 100 links on our on page attributes, and ranking fairly well for key SERPS our core pages are optimized for. I am thinking I should engage in some on-page link juice sculpting and add some "no follow" tags to 2 of the 3 repeated links. Although that being said the Moz's on page optimizer is not saying I have link cannibalization. Any thoughts guys? Hope this scenario makes sense.

How to handle "2" homepages?
Came across an interesting problem. A site has the traditional homepage of site.com and ranks okay. Later I found that another "homepage", site.com/home.html that ranks well for several terms but actually has old branding and semi-up-to-date content. Site.com/home.html has a solid linking profile but not as strong as the current homepage (site.com). The question I have is should I try to salvage the page or 301 redirect to site.com? Thank for the help!
