On SERP first page but no traffic

I really don`t understand why all of my websites receive no traffic. One of my sites, my business page, is on the first page of google for my keywords and Im even above Yelp, Task Rabbit, and thumbtack, yet I get no hits, leads, or calls from my website. All of my business either comes from Yelp or Google business page. All tests show my site is in top form. Do I expect too much? Maybe my landing page and form isn`t attractive? Its a google conspiracy? Would an seo expert subscription help me? Im no expert but Ive gotten to the first page of google. Thanks for any feedback.

Do those keyword clusters have search volume behind them?

David Gizzarelli: this is in a private window with "furniture assembly sf"
Jobin John: The search volume for "furniture assembly San Francisco" and "furniture assembly SF" is around 30 every month which is really low. I would recommend targeting keywords that have high search volume.
Neil Cheesman: maybe also look at data in Google Search Console re `Search`
Dave Elliott: The reason why you aren`t getting traffic may well be because your chosen keywords get little search volume. That said, your site has major issues!Your content and site just don`t inspire trust. The text is over optimised and spammy. I have no idea hâ€¦Lihat Lainnya

Tim Capper: You need to research / uncover what people are searching for, because its not furniture assembly.Do some research, what, when, at what point would they think they needed someone to assemble their furniture - then what would they search for?
