Massive SEO Switch Up - Your Experience?

High-value keywords for multiple niches from IRL services to digital goods that I compete for have been completely scrambled.

Not a single current #1 keyword is held by the previous holder, even if they have had the rank for 2+ years. In some cases the rank 1 has dropped as low as the second page for even as slowly moving keywords as "buy bitcoin in ______".

I am now rank 1-2 in way more keywords and my clients are happy but it does feel troubling, knowing that your strong rank that you've held for years can be completely destroyed to irrelevance in just 1 week.

What's your experience so far in September?

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.

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 ...
