Messed up domain migration, how to recover?

I recently onboarded a client who went through a domain migration. However, the agency they had previously employed to handle the migration made their new website live without setting up a "move to" address in GSC. The client found out about this and completed the migration 2 months after the redirects were set up.

As a result, their website doesn't even show up in the top 50 results for the brand name, and their traffic has tanked, too.

I have handled a few domain migrations until now, and they have all been successful, but I've never faced a similar situation.

What would be the best way to go about it?

Ps: I'm working with them for the complete SEO + copywriting shenanigans & i only found out about this after they shared their GSC access.

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 ...
