Looking for advice on Google ranking

Trigger warning: I am new to website building and SEO. I have done what I believe is my due diligence, have watched videos and read through guides etc to properly set up my site keywords in order to rank properly in Google search. Alas, it is not working so I must be doing something wrong. If you can help, please keep reading….

Site builder: Squarespace Site age: ~30 days Site content: Painting Contractor GBP is configured, contains useful information and pictures, and is live. GSC: all pages of site are indexed and crawled.

Problem: If I search “[my city name] painting contractor”, my site doesn’t show up in the results. By the time I click through to page 10 of the results, it still doesn’t show up. I’m getting results for painters in other cities, but not my own. I’m getting results for things unrelated even.

I have gone through the suggested SEO checklist on Squarespace and set my site title to “[my city name] painting contractor” and have included some keywords on other pages like “[my city name] painting services” to no avail.

What am I doing wrong?

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 ...
