How to make best use of all the locations for a local business?

Hi everyone,

I am stuck in a situation and need your help.

I manage a local business based in New Jersey. Our site has done pretty much well since I joined here and we have a lot of organic progress.

Now the problem is we are ranking for some keywords like

______ service in New Jersey Best ______ service in New Jersey

and similar related keywords.

But the issue is we donot rank for keywords like

____ service in Newark/Hoboken etc.

These are basically cities in New Jersey. Most people search for best service in [city name] and not for best service in [state name]

What's the right approach I should take here ?

We have a single office in Newark basically so I cannot build location specific pages because there is not much info to add on them and I donot want the site to look fishy.

Some of our competitors are using canonical with different domains and same content targeting particular cities of state ?

Has anyone had been in a similar scenario before ? Any tips or guidance are appreciated

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 ...
