Updated site, massive drop in ranking can I get it back?

Hi all,

Any help is appreciated.

My dad has had a Wordpress website for his self run company for 10 years now. It has sat around 1-5 ranking for the company name and product names for all of that time.

Recently he asked me to change the theme and make some adjustment to make it mobile friendly and bring it into the 2020’s. I did so and was hesitant to release it without SEO consulting, but he pushed and released it last week.

Since then all the rankings have dropped day after day, now currently in the 30-50’s in Google search console.Obviously we need to stop the bleeding, is me reverting the site back to the old set up/backup restore going to help at all? I was thinking this could be a quick fix, and to consult an SEO person to fix the updated version in staging before re-releasing it again.

Thanks for any help.

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 ...
