I'm not winning SEO, but neither are my competitors. All of the google searches related to my products (guitar pedals and synths) bring up top 10 lists and distributors. What should my strategy be?

For instance a search for 'guitar pedal', or 'guitar pedal company' or any of the type of effects that I do just brings up things like ' Eight best delay pedals for guitarists in 2019 ' on guitar.com or shops that sell many brands. None of my competitors even make the 1st page of results. Should I just accept that SEO is not the way to drive traffic in my industry and focus on other funnelling methods? Should I be trying to write my own listicles (that have to compete with much larger platforms than any of my competitors have - ie. much more general websites).

I should point out I'm super new to the world of SEO so there's a good chance I'm missing some obvious concept, so like don't worry about patronising me.

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 ...
