Any SEO tips for a freelance web designer?

Maybe I drank too much eggnog, but I can't find a decent article about how a freelance web designer can start implementing SEO strategies to be discovered.

​

Could anyone help with some tips to start?

​

I've been freelance web designing for about 5 years and making sales via word-of-mouth. I have a small portfolio site with a few blog articles, but ready to put more efforts on content creation. Recently I moved to France (originally from USA) b/c of wife's job and so I'm thinking I could go for long-term keywords like "English web designer France" or something like that to get some more rapid ranking in search engines....although I don't know if people would even search that. If I look at my client list, they are sort of all over the place from educators, consultants to tech companies.

​

I guess I'm trying to determine:

  • Should I focus on local SEO early and then focus on an industry?
  • Should I write one long page related to "freelance web designer in France" or write a few?
  • Is there a good website example to follow? Just curious if you can spot a particular site that appears better than others.

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. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

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 ...
