Business ranks #1 in different city/state - ranks low or not at all in actual location

I'm dying here with SEO and Google. I started a company in City #1 almost five years and moved out of City #1 almost three years ago. When I moved, I made sure to go through my web presence and change/update data immediately and I started ranking in my new city within a couple of weeks. Fast forward to now, I switched to Squarespace a couple of weeks ago and the majority of my web presence in my current location has disappeared. I now rank #1 in the original city I started the company in five years ago.

I've gone through my website, adjusted SEO, made sure that everything is accurate and up to date and nothing I do seems to do anything. My site has been indexed by Google multiple times within the last 4-6 weeks, make sure to update sitemap, etc. I don't get local service calls anymore, I only get calls from multiple states away because people can't read a listing beyond its phone number.

​

??? I don't know what to do and I don't have the 4 figures to hire a SEO company.

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 ...
