Permalink Structure Change and Redirect Questions

I have blog pages have been set up to include the date in the url.
Ex: clientname / 2014 / 09 / dwi-lawyers-mn-choose /
Am I correct in assuming that Google is looking at this page as being at a click depth of 3? (And therefore being a page that Google is less likely to crawl)

My larger issue is if I should change the permalink structure to not include the date in the URL. I mean, I don't want the date in the URL, but I'm wondering about the work it would take to manually redirect 300 pages, and all the other issues that could arise. Like if I change the Permalink structure, what happens to all the existing pages? Also, losing rank isn't really an issue because the traffic is super low anyway.

I would use Yoast Premium, but the client doesn't want to pay for it.

Any clarification would be much appreciated! 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.
