Implementing a Local Area Blog Into My Business Website - Opinions & Tips

I’m in the process of adding a local area blog to my media production company website and I’d love some opinions from the SEO community.

A bit of context: I started out just creating local content for fun, and now I run a full-time media production business. My website already ranks well in searches, and overall I’m happy with its current SEO performance.

The idea: I’m creating a secondary brand for this blog. All pages and posts will live under my main domain, something like businessname.co.k/blog/catagory/post . My main business pages (services, portfolio, etc.) will remain separate like businessname.co.k/videoproduction, etc

Content will focus on:

  • Hidden gems
  • Town guides
  • Food and drink spots
  • Walks and hikes
  • Things to do

Posts will include short videos (mostly repurposed from TikTok, some 60-80k views), plus photography and images I’ve captured or will capture locally.

My main concern: Will adding this blog help my website, or could it create SEO chaos? The blog will naturally link back to my media production pages as its own sort of advert, and I’ll make it clear in custom headers that the content is powered by my business, linking to relevant services.

I’m not an SEO newbie, I’ve ranked multiple websites #1 over the years, but I haven’t tried something quite like this before.

Any advice or experience with adding a local area / lifestyle blog into an existing business site would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

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 ...
