New to SEO and Trying to save my local business

Hi Everyone!

I run a local companion care service for seniors and I’m staring down what feels like an impossible mountain with SEO. I’ve watched countless YouTube tutorials, learned a bit about on-site tweaks and blogging, and even know that backlinks matter but as a small senior care business I have no idea how to actually get them.

Basically, I’m looking for:

  • Where to focus first: Which keywords should I target, and how do I find them without blowing my budget on fancy tools?
  • Real-world backlink ideas: Any creative ways a service like mine can earn links?
  • Actionable resources: Free or low-cost courses, blogs, podcasts, templates—anything that helped you nail down the basics.

I get that SEO is a long game and compounds over time, but what are the foundational moves I can start doing today that will actually move the needle? My budget is tight, so if you have tips on leveraging AI or simple workflows to stay consistent, I’m all ears.

Thanks in advance for any guidance, you’ll be saving my business!

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.

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 ...
