Website seo questions (super noob/long)

Hey guys, I’m trying to get more customers for my car detailing business. I have a website with an inquiry form that sends emails and a Google Business page where I ask for reviews. I’ve heard it’s tough to rank on Google since bigger companies pay to rank higher. As a one-person business, I assume most people find my Google page first and then visit my site to inquire. Should I hire someone for SEO (not sure what that is) to get more direct traffic to my site? I’ve also posted on forums, and my Instagram links to my site, but I don’t think these efforts match the inquiries I’m getting. When I search for detailing in my area, I don’t even show up. Just trying to get some understanding around it all and where to put my efforts. I’ve heard that using certain keywords on my site can help with SEO, but is there a limit where adding more stops being effective? Also, I’ve heard a fast-loading website helps, but what makes a site load faster? Is there an option to pay for it to run on a stronger server or something? Or that if people click into my site it helps. People text me for info. Should I just link them to my site instead of explaining everything over text? Any advice or insights would help. Thanks!

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 ...
