Small Page SEO help

Hi everyone, so I'm new to SEO and haven't made a webpage since I went to college 20 years ago.

I have started a side business with a website and am trying to grow my rankings organically. It's a small website though only a handful of pages but my competitors are the same way. We all basically structure the website the same and have the same keywords for the most part.

For google maps I normally rank top 1 or 2 for my area but if you are doing a google search I am if lucky on page 8-12. So that means outlying areas wont' pull me up at all. I've slowly gone up in rankings since I launched the website\opened my business 3 months ago, but I've gone stagnant in the rankings now.

I've done what I think I can do the best I can. I know I am missing backlinks and I am slowly working on it. But I get results from out of state business's, results from business's 2 hrs away show up before I do. They don't even have keywords of my city or surrounding cities on their websites.

I'm not asking for freework just some advice. I'd love to pay someone to help with this but until covid is over I'm on a tight budget and trying to do it all on my own.

Right now I run my services from my home garage but my end goal is to open a shop as soon as covid rules are relaxed or over. But I want to be as high as possible on google rankings before I do so.

​

Thanks guys!

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 ...
