My money pages have 0.2 PageRank — how to fix this fast?
LinkJuice shows my main service pages (the ones I want to rank) scoring 0.2 internal PageRank while my blog posts score 1.5+. This is completely backwards. How do I fix this quickly?

Classic 'inverted pyramid' problem. Your blog posts are getting all the equity but they're not your money pages. Quick fix: go to your 10 highest-PageRank blog posts and add a contextual link to your main service page in each. Make the anchor descriptive, not generic.

Also check your homepage — how many clicks does it take to reach your service pages? If it's 3+ clicks, add them to your main navigation or homepage featured sections. The homepage has the most equity; pages directly linked from it inherit a huge share. After adding these links, re-run LinkJuice and you should see your service pages jump to 0.8+ immediately.

Totally agree with the above. I'd also look at the outgoing links from your strongest pages. If your homepage links to 200+ things it loses focus. Cutting that list to 30-40 links concentrating on commercial pages made a noticeable difference for us.

Just adding a data point: we did this analysis for an 80,000-page e-commerce site and the run time was under 2 minutes in Chrome. No issues at all. The orphan detection alone saved us probably 15 hours of manual audit work.
