How to force Google to index a page

Hi,

I have been running a business site for over a year now. A couple of my pages Google is refusing to index. Just two pages actually. One is under 'Discovered - currently not indexed', and one is under 'Crawled - currently not indexed'. These two pages have been stuck in this state of purgatory since early September. And I am at a loss as to what the problem could be.

I have rearranged and rewritten both posts by maybe 40% and changed images on the pages too. Also, I changed the captions for the images. Done almost anything I can think to change each page enough so they'll get indexed but Google is still not indexing them.

I am more concerned with 'Discovered - currently not indexed' since that situation has been going on much longer. Is there a process you use to get Google to index a page? Just submitting it to be indexed is not working? I have done everything I can think of except change the URL slug. But that would change the keyword I am hoping to rank for.

Thanks

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 ...
