How hard is it to do SEO for businesses today?

Hey folks,

I stopped working as a Team Lead SEO in 2021 and changed my career to become a developer instead, as I got bored by all the politics coming with that position.

However, I still check in here and there with the SEO world as I have some websites running, and they generate some side income with Ads, link insertions, guest posts, and affiliate programs.

I feel like it becomes harder nowadays, especially for anyone who works for businesses (small niche projects seem to do well still), with Google seeming to worsen their SERPs with every algorithm and users increasingly answering their queries with ChatGPT and alike instead of using good old Google.

Or do I feel like that because I left the SEO bubble? As long as I worked as an SEO there have always been people saying "SEO is dead" or "Google now f'd up truly". :D

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 ...
