How do I Determine how much to invest in content

I have a few websites I'm starting up soon and I understand how important good content is. One site is a construction business and the other is a business listing directory in a niche. Looking at the content writing companies, it seems like it'd cost around $60 per article on the niche topics such as how to choose the right contractor or diy stuff etc. I know that 1 article isn't enough, so ill need dozens of articles on each site, and I read that it can take up to 4 to 6 months to get the benefits from the content and get better rankings.

At that rate, if I paid for 12 articles of content per site per month at $60 per article and it takes 6 months to get good rankings, it would cost nearly $10k and I see that decent new sites are generating $500 a month, it would take 20 months to recoup the content investment.

What kind of formula can I use to guide on how much to pay for content, what strategies do you all use for investing in content for new websites?

Thanks

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 ...
