How to do SEO for home page?

Hey guys I need some help.

Usually a home page would be less optimized for SEO in terms of keywords and LSI keywords especially when it has more images/explanations/etc. I read somewhere about the use of anchor pages for specific terms you want to rank for.

When searching for the major search term I want to rank for, my home page currently appears on the 4th page of google. Should I direct all SEO traffic to my home page still? Or would I be better off creating an anchor page solely focused on the search term?

Any advice would be appreciated!
