Is using video in website design good for SEO?

I have read many articles which say that auto playing video is bad for website design. When I personally visit a website that has an interesting video playing (without audio) then I find myself watching the video and spending more time on that website. Personally I am drawn to websites which have auto playing video (without audio) and an auto-playing YouTube video is not going to create issues for my mobile data/device either, like I assume it would not for most people in 2021.

My guess is that using a video instead of a slideshow or a static image will retain more people on the page, which will increase my user retention, which could increase my SERP ranking and conversion rate. Am I wrong?

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.

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 ...
