I got Google Search Console, now how do I decide what keywords to target?

I have a new service/brand that occupies a local niche in my city. My website gets traffic mostly from referral links, but I average about 50 organic google search visits a week to my website. When people google my company's name and service, they typically click on the platform where I sell my service (think TripAdvisor, Eventbrite, etc.) because those platforms have paid promotions that give them top of page results, which is fine for me, because I still get the sales, but I'm also interested in driving people directly to my website.

I just recently got google search console and I can see my performance on relevant keywords. My highest positions among keywords is position 8-10, and my highest CTR is 5-7%. My question is, what keywords should I target?

  • Should I go for keywords where I have a high position now and try to get a higher position?
  • Should I go for keywords where I don't have a high position and try to get a high position for my underperforming keywords?
  • Should I go for keywords with high impressions?
  • Should I focus instead on keywords with low impressions?
  • Is there a way to see a keyword's volume?

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 ...
