Really Need Some Advice on This

I started the current website in late October, so just over 3 months now. Most of the SEO work such as adding keyword content, blog posts, have been in the last 45 days.

I am currently ranking for the keywords I want on page 4, 6/7, and 9. As you all know, without ranking on page 1 and in the top 3 it's basically death.

I've had no success with google ads either despite setting the budget to $40 a day for targeted keywords.

Load speed is good. 40 ish back links. I should be on all or 95% of the directories my top 3 competitors have.

The competition:

The top 3 guys have been around for 5-10 years and one guy has been around for almost 20. They all are pretty big with a fleet of vehicles and workers (I'm in landscaping).

I am going crazy sitting around doing nothing.

I have an instagram page. I have a facebook. I have a google my business. The GMB is updated weekly. There are 20-30 blog posts (on topic) as well as new ones every 3-6 days...slowing down to one per week to not run out of content.

They are well written with nice pictures and lots of keywords.

Front page has 3000 plus words with lots of keywords.

Advice please. The fear is setting in.

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 ...
