What to watch out for when changing start page to sub page

Hey guys,

I just kinda tried to figure out since some days, on how to handle this, but I'm not sure, maybe you can guide me / give me some tips.

Some longer time ago, I started ranking with my home/start page of my website, for a specific long tail keyword "some long tail keyword". I didn't know how to do SEO in any terms at this point, so I just took this Keyword as "main thing" of my homepage.

But nowadays I would like to change the root/home/start page to something like a landing page = "this is me, this is what I do/offer".

I would like to like sub-page this old root/home/start thing, then being like a blog post, specific for this keyword.

How would you guys do this? Do I like need to just create a new blog-post/sub-page? I mean, wouldn't this kinda hurt, because the keyword is indexed at google and points to like "mydomain.com". Usually I could go for a redirection, but in this case, I would redirect everyone away from my landing page.

Thanks for your time and patience to read this.

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 ...
