Does 1 good link outperform tens of shit links?

I'm new to SEO and I've been curiously examining the backlink profiles of several websites in certain niches using various tools (SEMrush etc). What I've noticed is that some pages that rank on page 1 might have 70 links pointed to them, but those 70 links are 95% or even 99% garbage links from non-authoritative sources.

I guess my question is whether getting one solid link from an authoritative source would be enough in Google's eyes to outperform pages with lots of crappy links pointing at them? This is really a question designed to inform my off-site SEO knowledge. It seems like you can kill it with off-site SEO by focusing on quality over quantity of links...would this be a correct assumption?

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

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
