SEO for an artist

i am an artist and i have a site that gets most of its traffic from google image search. it is a blog format based on genesis framework. i used to get thousands of views a day now i get 50 on a good day. it has been a long decline - like 10 years. broad question: is there any value at all in using yoast seo plugin? is google good enough now at sifting through websites that there is no point in having a plugin or a blog formatted site with built-in seo features? would i be better off finding the fastest most minimal free theme and tossing yoast and genesis? also when i am trying to rank using images does it matter if i type up 100 words describing the image and telling a story about it or would i be better served putting up a bunch of image gallery pages by category? it looks to me like most of the sites that are beating me are galleries with little or no text.

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.

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 ...
