Change My Slug?

Hi all, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a newbie looking for some advice so please excuse my lack of understanding. My business provides a mobile service throughout the county. My site has been up for about 18 months and I'm now trying to improve my search position. The home page slug format is town-service-mobile-home. I'm thinking of changing it to county-town-service-mobile-home to hopefully improve my rating when people search based on the county name. I'm not mentioning which county and town names but I hope that makes sense.

I'm wondering: 1. Should I change the slug? Will this help my search position? 2. If I change the slug I believe Google may 'loose' my site. Is that right? I'm not sure how they use slugs 3. If I do change my slug should I do it for all pages on the site? 4. What do I need to do to make sure Google doesn't 'loose' my site? What's the best process?

Lots of questions I'm afraid but would really appreciate any advice you guys could give me. Many thanks in advance, BDB

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 ...
