Why Do Tag Pages Rank Higher Than Main Service Pages

I built this guy a website and he's complaining that his tag pages rank higher than his main service pages. He's doing a ton of blogging. I didn't do any SEO for him I just built him the site but,

​

A) Why would tag pages rank higher?

B) Is it because of internal links?

​

He has his focus keywords he wants to rank for as the main title for the tag pages and not his main service page. His main service page has no internal links and has only 1 keyword he's trying to rank for in the content. He is optimizing the meta tags on the main pages. No alt tags optimized anywhere on the site.

​

Any ideas?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
