I Am So Painfully Confused

Okay I cant figure this out so Im going to ask you wise folk. This is going to take a mintute because I need to provide details. Sooo...

Im a meditation teacher with a site that has a lot of authority. I essentially have 2 main products: teaching meditation to individuals (keyword is just "meditation coach") and teaching to companies (keywords is "corporate meditation").

For a long time I had these 2 services across 3 main pages. The homepage was optimised for both services, and then one page dedicated to each individual service. Doing it this way my homepage would rank for both keywords but CTR was awful. So I decided to just make my page about the individual coaching and I deoptimized for the "corporate meditation" keyword. The only place I mention that keyword now is in one H3 in which it is the anchor text to the corporate page.

Heres where Im mega confused. After deoptimizing for the corporate keyword, I am now TOP for it, but Im performing worse for the coaching keyword that Im optimized for. And Im still not getting clicks for either because Im top for a keyword that I dont mention at all in my title (and when I do put the keyword in the title I rank DOWN not up).

Can anyone offer an explanation please?

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 ...
