Any tips on SEO for a news website?

A client of mine has a news website, and he wants to implement SEO. They already have some of the basics set up (keywords, tagging, technical requirements for photos/videos, etc.). I'm working to make the site more SEO friendly (schema, sitemaps, AMP, etc). Most of these have been fairly effective.

Because they're a news site, content is almost always solely reliant on what's happening day-by-day. This can make performance erratic. The idea of a lifestyle section for evergreen content (and ad opportunities) has been floated around. However, site limitations prevent that from happening right now. Also, we can't just build our content around keywords, as the writers have to make the stories in a specific format.

Do you guys have any tips on how I can get consistent results for this kind of site?

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 ...
