Help - organic rankings have dropped significantly

Hi, this is my first post. I am a solo marketer for a small professional services company. We have an external consultant providing SEO and PPC support and I have stupidly taken my eye off the ball and assumed everything was going fine on the SEO front, but I've just realised our organic rankings have dropped significantly and we're only on page one for a few key search terms. We are parting ways with the external consultant at the end of this month and I'm not sure what to do next or even where we have gone wrong in recent months to have dropped so much. This year alone the site has had 55 new blog articles added to it as well as other content updates. The consultant's mantra has always been that we don't have enough content on the site, but from what I can tell, our competitors who are ranking much higher than we are have far less than we do. I'm not an SEO expert (far from it) so any insights or pointers welcome.

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 ...
