Relocating & Renaming Business - Need To Keep Reviews

I've had a business in one location that has accumulated over a number of years like 15 positive, good Google and Yelp reviews... Because I'm no longer going to be doing business with someone who I was partnered with, along with switching offices (to a different state but not that far away), both my business name and my location will be changing.

I know Google has an article on this saying that if you change both, you can't keep the reviews, but is there any way to do it, for example if it only changes gradually? Like what if I move, keep the name, verify the new address, wait 3 months, and then change the name?

For what it's worth, the reviews are genuinely for my services. So someone doing a manual review would find substantial similarity between the old business and the new business.

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 ...
