Previous marketer may have gotten a Google Business Profile penalized and I don't know how to help

TL:DR
Google business profile is dead and I don't know how to fix it.

Previously I ran a local children's entertainment business and achieved top results on all the SERP pages. I eventually closed my business (but I am still #1 on SERP). We have about 15 competitors locally and it will pull up some more from near areas.

​

Since I closed, a previous competitor of mine asked if I would take over the SEO and website from them to try and get them to appear higher. I have only been doing this a few months but we've seen great improvement in all areas EXCEPT the google business profile.

​

It won't even show up under the same keywords as the website, only if you search the companies name. I found some keyword stuffing initially that I fixed a few months ago but otherwise the profile is complete, has lots of reviews (all 5 star), and tons of pictures both from us and previous customers.

​

Would love some advice on what other factors could be at play, tools I could use, or just general advice to bring it back from the dead.

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 ...
