Hi Joon
With the great recommendations from Ryan and Anthony, I would also suggest a couple more items:
Focus on internal linking opportunities so high ranking pages can pass equity through the site
Content Marketing Institute is fantastic at this
Take a look at Sitelinks Searchbox
Just a great search snippet opportunity
What are frequently asked questions your company receives?
Answer questions before they ask with content
Provide guides, ebooks, tips, checklists, etc.
Is there any content on your site you can repurpose?
Videos, images, infographics, gamification, Q&As, etc
Also, check out the Customer Journey from Google
Any opportunities on different mediums?
Take a look at this content audit for more opportunities
All of the above will help pass equity through your site and also give you opportunities to capitalize on long tail queries. Remember - content cannibalization is NOT a bad thing - it gives you so many more opportunities to rank for long tail and also associates your site with your industry's topics.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Hi there
Remove it - that makes no sense. This is your homepage, so you want to have link equity and search equity moving through the site. Also, on internal pages that have link and search equity, you'll want that equity to flow through the logo, because it goes to the homepage. You're cutting off equity moving through the site.
That's why I think you should remove "nofollow" on the logo.
Let me know if this helps. Good luck!
Hi there
I would write out the word "West" / "North" / "East" / "South" just to avoid confusion. Search engines will be able to pick this up either way, but just make sure you are consistent.
Here are some resources to check out:

How to Perform the Ultimate Local SEO Audit
I would also take a look at Moz Local - it helps you manage and change your listings quickly and efficiently.
Hope these give you a bit more guidance! Good luck!
