Advice for website of Live Sound Production client who is opening a Recording Studio

I have a client who does Live Sound Production for venues, touring with various acts across the country. Currently, most of their jobs come through networking and applying for open positions. Because of this, SEO did not yet seem to be a worthy investment. In 2020, I built their very simple wordpress website, basically a business card / resume / contact form / lost and found.

When we began working together, the owner had already purchased their domain name: LastNameIndustriesLLC.com. The last name is a common noun that vaguely, but not specifically enough suits his industry.

Now they are opening a recording studio with a new, different name in a commercial space in a highly competitive music city - Nashville. We are planning to build a page for the Recording Studio and add a section on the homepage. But I don't feel that is enough to give this brand new studio any kind of hope for ranking. SEO is definitely important now.

​

Of course, these are not all of the questions I should be asking, but please give me some advice to get me thinking about this project.

​

  1. Should the company purchase a domain name specific to the name of the new studio, and build a separate website for it?
  2. Or... Would a subdomain, such as RecordingStudio.LastNameIndustriesLLC.com, have the same benefit without building a separate website?
  3. Should I build location pages for their region? Is this something current SEOs actually do for their clients? How many location pages is appropriate?
  4. What can a new business in a competitive area/industry do to begin ranking as soon as possible?
  5. Should they start writing blogs about their work? Social media? Updating directories regularly?

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 ...
