Can Google Crawl my Sub-Categories with a drop down?

We're re-designing our category pages for our e-commerce site, and as part of the navigation from a parent category page to a sub-category page, we will be using a drop down menu.

Example: Our top level category page is TV & Home Audio and we have a list of all the respective sub categories for this page for a user to click on above the facets, but now with the re-design of the page, they will become a drop down list in this format:

Categories:

Drown down #1 - "Home & TV Audio"
Drown down #2. - "Blank" (as we're on the main home and TV Audio Page
Drown down #3 - "Blank" (see above)

Now if the user wants to drill down into Televisions, they'd have to click into the 2nd drop down menu and select TVs and so on.

Is this bad for SEO? Will Google be able to crawl this if we set it up a certain way? Most traditional e-comm sites all have links for their respective subcategories

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 ...
