Local SEO for restaurant that has seemingly used all outlets.

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to help a friend out with his restaurant in a fairly competitive market/location. In particular the map pack.

We have a well optimized and claimed GMB listing which we’ve been updating with new social posts, events, etc.

A website that is optimized for some keywords. We rank on the first page for several keywords we are targeting. “Location + Bar” “Location + Restaurants” and a few others. Domain is about a 1.5 years old. The downside is he changes his menu daily so we load images for his menus. Yoast for on-page recommendations. We have some strong back links from the Food Network/ Major Local Papers and good publications. DA is still low though. We probably have about 2/3’s the backlinks of our main competitor.

Very active social with a good following.

A good amount of reviews. 180(ish) compared to our main competitor with about 230. Most are in this range of reviews. We are actively responding to reviews. Good score btw, 4.8.

NAP/Citations are good too.

The catch is, we rank poorly on map packs. Can be inside the restaurant and it’s deep down the list unless we zoom in a bit then we immediately jump to number one.

I’m running out of ideas for him. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

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 ...
