Local Insurance SEO Strategy: Personal Site to Company Page Redirection

Help and Insight Needed

My wife is a local insurance sales associate, and her ideal clients are within our city for in-person meetings. Since her company restricts individual sales associates from Google Ads (to avoid competing with their in-house marketing), she's left with expensive print and direct mail. While she does get a company webpage with some on-page content control, she can't manage crucial elements like title tags, meta descriptions, or header tags.

Due to these limitations, I'm considering creating a personal website for her. It would feature her professional bio, much like a LinkedIn profile, but its main focus would be her local business. We'd create dedicated pages for each insurance product she offers, concentrating on long-tail keywords as the site develops.

Once the site is built, I plan to redirect its pages to her official company contact page. This lets potential clients reach her directly. Plus, this strategy offers a great backup: if she ever changes employers, I can simply turn off the redirects and update the site as needed.

QUESTIONS:

Can pages designed for redirection be effectively SEO optimized from the start to pass ranking signals?

I used to build WordPress sites (10+ years ago). What current website platforms offer strong built-in SEO capabilities, particularly for local businesses?

Are there other types of tools that I could use to direct traffic to her personal company page?

My ultimate goal is to drive traffic to her personal company page. Can this work?

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 ...
