High DA sites with listicles/business directories taking over the first page for a commercial keyword. How to defeat them?

So for example, I want my company, which is a marketing agency, to rank for, "Best Marketing Agency" keyword and it was ranking for first position in SERP till 2021.

But soon a lot of other websites or business directories with high DA started creating different blogs with listicles such as Top 7 Marketing Agencies, Best 7 Marketing Agencies, etc, mentioning all the competitors and thus, reducing my traffic.

One of the website that outranked me offered me to get my company in the top of their listicle for $4000. (We declined) The worst part is one of my competitor has taken this offer and is getting all the spotlight.

How would you guys recommend that we get our position back to #1 in SERP? Any advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance!

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 ...
