Semrush 'Organic Research: Keywords and Rankings' - are these at all accurate?

I understand that all the common SEO tools (semrush, ahrefs, etc.) are estimating most of the data they show, so I'm not expecting perfect accuracy. But in your opinion, is the data shown for organic research, keyword rankings, keyword gaps, etc., accurate at all? Or do you not place much stock in it?

With things like search volume, I can at least compare what semrush estimates with the ranges shown in Google Keyword planner, for example. They usually fall within the ranges shown in Google, but not sure how to best validate some of the other data from Semrush and whether it's accurate or not.

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 ...
