Why is my homepage the only page indexing on Google?

I run a server with almost 100 WordPress websites on it like this one and have never had an issue like this.

I've successfully uploaded the xml sitemap to GSC, which saw all 59 pages, but under the pages tab it only says 1 page is visible. The other 58 aren't even considered not indexed, which sits at "0".

To thicken the plot, when I inspect one of the not indexing pages on GSC (that appeared in the sitemap I uploaded), it has under details for "URL is not on Google": "Sitemaps - No referring sitemaps detected".

I made the site live over a month ago, and most websites just like this that I launch have all pages indexed within a week or 2.

If it were a problem with the DNS, I assume no pages would be indexing, so the fact that only the hompage is indexing is baffling. Has anyone experienced this before or have advice?

Thanks!

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 ...
