SEO and relevance

Every day, my inbox fills with emails from so-called SEO "gurus" promising secret strategies to skyrocket success. Where do these emails end up? Straight in my junk folder.

Here’s my take: Search Engine Optimization isn’t a magical solution that guarantees millions. It’s part of a broader set of “best practices” designed to optimize your efforts, not replace them. SEO is a tool, not a miracle worker.

As the Social Media Coordinator for a trucking company, I manage and maintain all our social media accounts and our website. Tags like #hiringCDLdrivers or #CDLtoppay can help us reach a wider audience, but let’s be real—those hashtags are saturated. We’re competing with countless others using the same ones.

Sure, SEO power words and CTAs (calls to action) are important, but without strong, compelling content, they won’t move the needle much. My main focus is on boosting engagement. The more people interact with the content we create, the more likely we are to see increases in our key metrics. Engagement is the bridge between our content and our business goals.

If this feels like a reminder of what you already know, bear with me—I'm still learning in this role. While I’ve picked up a lot, every day offers an opportunity to learn something new. And honestly? That’s one of the best parts of this job.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

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 ...
