Is a 301 Redirect a correct solution for my user case scenario?

I am trying to help a friend of mine with the SEO positioning of his website.

​

The situation is as follows:

​

My friend's father had a small law firm with a very basic website, created in 2006, this website always results among the first positions in SERP for keywords inherent to law firm+city name mainly.

​

This year my friend's father retired and his son opened a new law firm, in the same building as the previous one, with a new website that never appears in the SERP for the same search query.

​

I audited the site with one of the available tools and found that the main problems were the absence of Title, meta description and h1 tags in the different pages.

​

In addition to solving these problems, do you have any suggestions?

​

One possibility I thought of was to create a 303 redirect on the old website that would lead to the new one, taking advantage of the high ranking of the site in the SERPs. Would this be a feasible solution or would you advise against it?

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 ...
