Asks the blunt question: is there anything on this page a stranger would have a reason to link to?

Most pages that struggle to earn links are not badly promoted, they are simply not worth linking to. A service page describing services is useful to a buyer and useless to a writer looking for a source. This scores the page against the things that repeatedly do earn links: original data, tools, depth, citable structure and a named author.
For a local service business competing on "trade in town", frequently not. Your Google Business Profile, consistent citations and solid on-page work carry more weight. For anything competitive or national, links decide it, and links come from something worth linking to.
In order of what works: original data from your own operations, a genuinely free tool, local press coverage from doing something newsworthy, being the source a trade publication quotes, and sponsoring something real in your area. Note that four of those five are not writing.
Length correlates with links because thorough pages are more useful, not because word count is a factor. A 600-word page with a number nobody else has published beats 4,000 words restating common knowledge.
