Domain authority and Backlinks effect on placement, help on SEO placement

After stalking this sub for a while it seems pretty well accepted that DA and backlinks are pretty essential for google placement, plus good readability and keywords.

I run a newish website (8 days) for a chiropractor office, and use yoast for SEO on Wordpress. My yoast symbol is green, and im targeting a keyword “chiropractor clinic city name”. I checked my backlinks and I have about 150 total altho only 5 DA.

Things ive done according to my research:

• Create socials with links • Include keywords in Meta, slugs, title, H1, H2, H3, first paragraph, alt text of pictures, multiple times thru page in accordance with Yoast • green readability • Backlink with some established blogs in my area • Plenty of internal linking • submitted sitemaps to google search console • compressed images, lazy load to boost speed

However, when i go to google search and type “chiropractor office city”, my site is on the 4th page. I went and checked the backlinks and DA of the 1st and 2nd sites, and they have DA of 0 and maybe 15 backlinks each. Their page also seems to have less keywords, and is shorter with less pictures. I thought it was my page age, but i looked it up and age does not affect ranking.

Any suggestions on what i should do next, or how the other ones are ranking so high with no DA, no backlinks and barely any keywords?

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 ...
