WP Astra Theme and Rankings

Just wanted to check in and see if anyone else was having any issues with WP astra ?

I've had two completly different websites both built using WP Astra theme completly drop of the serps only to re appear and drop off again

these two websites are now ranking and only showing up for the main keyword set out in h1, none of the other keywords are appearing the in the serps and if they do, they appear breifly and then disappear again. (not highly competitive words)

Both sites have great backlinks profiles, but for some reason the google bot isn't liking these pages at all.

Blog posts are doing great! they rank high and convert regularly.

I moved one of these sites off the wp astra theme over the genisis theme and viola it started ranking again.

Before we say schema or anything on page is the issue, I mimicked the top ranking sites in both niches in terms of schema.

Anyone else having issues with Astra and ranking? this one has really got me stumped!

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 ...
