SEO for directories

Hi,

I've recently created a directory in a specialist niche, it's started getting traffic which is great but it's the first directory I've made so I'm kind of figuring it out as I go along and I want to grow it as much as possible.

The directory is global and has service providers in most western countries. I've created it so people can search by country, city, state etc and exactly what service they need but I'm wondering if I should create separate pages targeting 'service providers in New York, service providers in Massachusetts' etc and try to rank them on Google? Each country does have a location page for example location/spain/ but they're not optimised and I'm not sure how to optimise them to be honest. I'm using GeoDirectory.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

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 ...
