Local SEO question - targeting cities and regions

My company is regional (full east coast) and looking to expand our footprint nationally. We have about 25% of our customer base outside the east coast.

I’m on SEMrush now doing KW research and I’m seeing some very low difficulty scores for like: [service] companies in Dallas or San Diego [service] companies.

I come from a SaaS background and in those roles I had a lot of success doing ranking pages where I would compare our competitors and us on a list to target like “best [software type] software companies] search terms.

I’m now in a B2B service industry where many competitors are hyper local. Could I do a similar strategy for each of our cities and just take copy from those competitors websites (not plagiarize) and roll it into a ranking type blog post?

With SaaS it was easy because features and benefits were very easy to compare. This is a little more grey so I just wanted to be sure there is some transference of the strategy that could work.

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 ...
