Do you always make sure there are keywords to rank for when writing content? Or do you ever just go for topic dominance regardless of search volume?

I ask because I’m struggling to find good topics that have good search volume for some prospects. Haven’t met with them yet to talk about their industry, and I’m trying to do some research to find content before meeting with them so I don’t look like a total flub.

One is an HR business.

I can find a couple topics like “hiring an employee”, creating an employee handbook, managing workplace conflict, and a couple others...

But that’s still not a whole lot of content. I was thinking of focusing in on a niche like “HR for the restaurant industry” and just dominating serps for that niche... but there’s not a whole lot of HR related searches specific to the restaurant industry, or any industry that I could find...

So... is it worth it to go after topics even if there isn’t a lot of search volume?

The other is an Insurance recruiting website, and I’m having the same problem. Do we just optimize a page for “sales jobs” and “insurance jobs in X city”? Or do we start blogging...

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 ...
