Recommendations for Web Apps with no text content

Hey, I have a nextjs web app that's basically just a search engine. When you open it there's just the title (what I want to rank for) and a search field. For the visitor this is perfect for all devices, they want nothing more.

The actual search is rendered on the server, so it should be indexable, but ranking for search terms is not my priority, I want to rank for "XYZ search".

It does fairly bad SEO-wise, although it is the only offer in the niche. My other pages/domains that link to it rank higher than the main app itself. Even dead links.

We hear it time and time again, search engines get better and providing actual value to the customer is supposed to be more important than listing key words.

Do you think I should add text to the app? Or should I focus on a landing page?

I'm thankful for any help!

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 ...
