What negative SEO tactics should I be on the lookout for from a vengeful former employee?

Hi friends,

To keep a long story short, a coworker recently had a disturbing altercation with a former employee that used to do SEO for us. This former employee also seems to have a grudge against our company.

Our company has been struggling SEO-wise for most of the year. I can't help but think that this former employee might be doing some kind of negative SEO against us. But I can't think of anything that we wouldn't have already noticed.

Do any of you have any ideas of what I should be on the lookout for? This former employee doesn't have access to any of our internal data or accounts. I just don't want to overlook anything. I want to make sure I check every little thing so that I can get comfortable enough to get this idea out of my head.

Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

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 ...
