Client Website Drops Even If Healthy

Hi folks,

One of my biggest clients website is just...tanking. No major work that would directly cause this has taken place. In fact, their website health is in great shape compared to before. I cross references algorithm updates with the initial drop, but it only yeilded the November core update as a possibility.

Their Core Web Vitals are pretty good, though a slight LCP hitch on mobile. GMB was messed with without my approval, and we did see some losses there. Many of the key landing pages and FAQ pages are losing rankings and traffic dramatically. The content is solid, URL structure is perfect, images somewhat not as great, navigation is simple and great for users and bots.

I'm at my wits end. I can't find a single thing so wrong that this should be happening. Would anyone be willing to look it over or have any suggestions of other things to look at?

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 ...
