How Do I Shake The Bad Name The SEO Industry Has Been Given?

I don't do any pyramid schemes, MLMs, or anything even remotely close to that type of work; however, I work in the SEO industry running my own digital marketing agency that helps businesses grow their online presence. Now I love my job and I've been able to provide solid results for each one of my clients with many of them staying with me for over a year now, but it seems whenever I try to grow my business I run into the same problems over and over. That problem is the bad name associated with the SEO industry. It's really begun to annoy me as too many people have been burned by scammers claiming to do SEO or even more so just people who straight up lied to them promising overnight results and not being able to produce. It's gotten to the point where I can provide an individual with a full video overviewing my process and telling them it'll help their business and they'll be interested but the moment I say it's SEO the deal is off the table. What can I do to avoid this bad name my industry has gotten?

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 ...
