Homepage Duplicates
-
Hi Stephen
It doesn't look to me as though you will have an issue with duplicate content. You could set your "Verification" pages to noindex in your Wordpress if that is what you're referring to?
As Leonie mentioned, install Yoast.

Are you using Wordpress? I'm not a web developer so my knowledge is limited unless you are. Looking at your reply to Leonie I'll assume you are:
I took this screenshot for you. So long as you have Yoast installed you should see about half way down the page itself Yoast plugin > Advanced > ** See screenshot **
In terms of where to access those pages I'm guessing they will be under your "pages" section?

Personally I would noindex as its only a page with a captcha on it, so its not really supplementary to your websites ranking in my opinion.
Someone with more experience would be better answering that though.

Hey There
Just wanted to check in and see if you are all set with this? I looked and things seem to be OK, so maybe it's been updated since posting the question.

Hi Stephen
Can you clarify what is telling you the homepage is the only one with SEO? The Yoast plugin? What is extracting the info?
Unfortunately I am unable to help offline, but if you leave a reply explaining a little more what you mean myself or another Moz Associate will be sure to help!

Ahh I see. This is a bit of a different question. I think you are asking "why do my inner pages not rank, and why does only my homepage rank"?
I think we should zoom out and look at more the concepts of "keyword targeting" and site architecture.
This can get pretty involved, and would be an entire blog post - but here's a few resources to check out first:

To rank for "film crew jobs los angeles" the site needs a really dedicated page about that specific topic, that has information about that topic better than other websites out there. The site current does not it seems, so the homepage is ranking instead because Google does not have a better option to rank for that keyword.
This doesn't have much to do with _how _the page is created, if it's a CMS, category page, etc - if the end result is a page that serves that search then you will have a much better chance of ranking it.
Then you need to be sure you have an intuitive site architecture - this post is pretty good about that: http://www.seobook.com/getting-site-architecture-right
