Good Metrics for an SEO Agency

I hired an SEO agency to help me with one of my websites. What benchmarks should I be looking at and timelines roughly.

This was a brand new website. We have been working together for about 3.5 - 4 weeks thus far.

He mostly spent time setting up all the technical backend stuff, building a few new pages, keyword research and topic clusters for me to write additional blogs.

Thru this work we have gone from 0 to 84 keywords ranking thus far. These are all ranked between positions like 40-80 so not really driving any traffic just yet. But I wasn't expecting much in the first month.

So at what timelines and what metrics should I be tracking to know if they're doing a good job. I have a baseline knowledge of all of this, but this is my first vendor hire and I want to be sure to evaluate in a way that makes sense. I am not expecting overnight results or anything but I want to make sure we continue tracking in the right direction.

I am happy to answer any questions you may need to know to answer my post.

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 ...
