Is my product even worth SEOing for?

I created an app for a very specific purpose:

In germany when renting an apartment, 95% of the time you need a specific document called "Mieterselbsauskunft". Basically just a sheet with personal information, adress, employer, salary etc.

Creating this document is a surprisingly big pain in the ass. Most templates you find online are badly made and filling it out in a PDF editor is cumbersome, especially when you have to do it multiple times.

Thats why I made an app, that makes it easier and quicker - turning 30 minute process into a 2 minute one. I believe it is really useful to people acutely in need of this document.

I think the best approach for marketing is to create a webpage and get it ranking highly for the keywords that people type when searching for this document template. I scrapped together a webpage with AI (lovable) and populated it with info text, FAQ, images and comparsions. And of course a link to the App.

Problem: High ranking competition. Established flat-rent websites publish their own (honestly quite badly made) templates that are referenced a lot and have a massive amounts of backlinks.

So I wonder if I even have a shot getting the app seen through search. The economics of it: The App is free. The first document is free. After that it's 1,99€ for lifetime access. My guess is that 25-50% the people that make the first PDF would buy the lifetime access, because it does safe a lot of time and headache.

Essentially my two questions:

  1. As a SEO-noob, what should I focus on to get my product somewhat seen?
  2. Is it even worth it considering the competition and economics of the app?

Thanks for all input :)

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 ...
