Keyword ranking sinks by 50 positions. How is it possible? Experts pls come in.

Got Semrush alert telling me two keywords rankings have sunk:

One by 50 positions, the other by 9 positions.

Background info:

I’m battling against an seo agency I paid 2k a month for a year which didn’t index 65% of the pages created for ranking and bought a bunch of link farm links.

I put everything i found on the table with them last Wednesday, then on Thursday I got that notification.

Could they have done something?

I checked google search console and saw the backlinks on the specific page losing 50 positions didn’t change. My biggest concern was they removed backlinks to that page (to wipe themselves clean on the black hat seo claim). Could google search console actually have a delay?

Meantime, from now to a settlement being reached with them either by me or my lawyer, what should I do to protect my online asset?

I’ve already done the following:

Removed their access to my google search console

Removed their access to my Wordpress and WPEngine.

Any suggestions are welcomed .

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 ...
