Brilliant Directories?

Hey all, I've lurked on r/seo for years and wondered if anyone could offer some advice for a project I have planned.

I run a business in a niche part of the UK construction industry (carrying out the work itself) and plan to create a directory type website to help clients find local contractors in my spare time this year.

My experience in web development is next to zero. Studied design sporadically in college with a small bit of HTML. I've done some branding and graphic design for businesses over the years - this is mostly a hobby for me but want to develop my skills further.

I created the website for my own construction company using a simple site builder (no coding + not wordpress) and achieved some modest SEO goals over the course of a year (top ranking for London based keywords, fairly low competition).

I've looked at some directory building solutions and Brilliant Directories has stood out so far. Does anyone have experience working with this software? Especially from an SEO prospective as my plan to help clients find contractors will depend on visibility in Google. I'm willing to put the work in but don't want to be limited too much. I also don't know how much coding I would need to achieve something like this on wordpress.

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 ...
