How to interpret this Search Console data?

Hi,

I recently became the developer for a Prestashop-powered webshop. It's quite a large shop with thousands of products and about 3000 monthly visitors, according to Google Analytics.

I'm tasked with improving the sales and since SEO is an importnt aspect of reaching customers, I figured I'd investigate that. Now, I've never done anything related to SEO before other than adding keywords to stuff. I just found out about Google Search Console, so I added the webshop to that. I'm just not quite sure how to interpret it, as I have the following data:

- 9300 valid pages
- 65 000 excluded pages
- 3000 pages with an error
and these errors are mostly "problem with crawling", because the URL links to a product that doesn't exist anymore.

So, is this something I should fix so that there are only valid pages? Or is SEO performance not influenced by these 65k exlcuded pages and 3k erroring pages? The excluded pages do exist but its main reason is that they're pages with a redirect, and this redirect appears to be the result of HTTP redirecting to HTTPS..

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

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

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
