Impressions/Clicks not consistent with Position

Hi all,

I am having a lot of difficulty with impressions/clicks for my site. For the past month or so impressions have been a paltry 15-25/day with clicks between 5-10/day across the whole site.

I have been doing a bit of a deep dive and, as an example, 1 post in particular had 5 impressions and 1 click this past week, despite ranking on the 1st page for its targeted keywords the entire time (according to GSC).

Now, contrast this with the first week of October and this same post managed 1570 impressions and 31 clicks, so I know the keywords its ranking for pull in traffic.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? I know things have been a bit weird in the SERP of late, but I think its more likely an issue on my end rather than Google's.

I've checked all the usual things like robots.txt, manual actions etc and Google appears to be able to crawl my site just fine and I have no penalties or issues in GSC's eyes.

I would love to hear any insight anyone may have.

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 ...
