Alternatives to SEMRush

It's that time again, it's time for lovely "Is SEMRush worth it or should I spend money elsewhere?"
Our renewal is up soon, and I've noticed they took away a few tools that we had when we signed up (namely competitor analysis information), and now looped that into a new tool that costs more than the base subscription itself (seriously, you wanna charge me $2500 for the base tool, then $3500 on top of that for something that was in there originally?)

My gut is "no, don't spend $10k/year on the tool" so I'm looking for good alternatives that will let me:

- Track keyword positions
- Get some info on which keywords are showing in AI Overview (and essentially any AI data as my director is really trying to dig into that)
- Gives me information on keyword volume
- Gives me some insight into what my competitors are ranking for
- Related keywords based on my core keyword search

I don't really trust their paid data, as the CPC info is just a guess for the most part.

I have heard good things about ahrefs, but they don't have a demo, and I'm not sure how they compare to SEMRush.

However, if I'm wrong, I'll eat crow and try to convince my director to pay up.

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 ...
