Newbie Question

Over the years I have created several WordPress websites for hobbies, friends, basic stuff really nothing elaborate or complex. I now want to promote a new division of my business and need some advice on domain names and how they affect SEO.

Is it essential or desirable to have the name or type of business in the domain name? I have a 3 letter .com domain name which I have had for over 10 years and the letters coincidently letters spell out the first letters of the business name (this was not by design it just worked out that way).

An example would be (not the real domain) YMM.com for a company called Your Money Mentor I hope I have explained myself correctly and this is the right place for my questions, if not just put it down to me being a Newbie.

Would appreciate any input from the experts.

Cheers

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 ...
