Are anchor links preventing better SEO

We are a small business, solo law firm. We use a single long page as our home page with multiple anchor links or jump links to get to our menu items… Home Practices About Contact Locations Presentations Publications FAQs

The only other Wordpress page is “News” which is another long single page.

We’ve worked hard build our website using best practices, and we rank high for our brand (name of attorney) and primary keywords - usually in the top SERP for our geography. Our Lighthouse scores are solid. (Score 100 for the SEO section)

Is this structure the optimal one for SEO? Would we get better SEO results, richer snippets, higher SERP rankings for additional keywords if we break these anchor links into stand alone Wordpress pages with their own keywords? What are the pros/cons of using anchor links versus stand alone Wordpress pages?

For example, wouldn’t Google prefer and better digest a separate page titled “Practices” that had keywords for our main law practice areas? Having everything on one page would seem to limit keyword optimization/customization.

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.

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 ...
