Local SEO disrupted.

For my local website, I had around 18 pages that ranked top 3 for [service] + [location] | [business_name].

Suddenly, I woke up and noticed that 15 of the pages fell off Google’s search results (tracking through SEMrush). They are no longer showing in Google search results. I checked GSC and everything looks alright.

This is a relatively new domain, with a low DR but these pages were on top until I noticed new banklinks from unknown, toxic domains started popping up (all weird junk)…I immediately went ahead and disavowed these domains with the tool but I read that the results might be minimal from that.

Not sure what to do…is my answer just to get more backlinks and build DR to get these pages to start populating in results again?

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 ...
