Why is Wordpress “best” for SEO (over others)?

Hoping to get some technical insight for this one. Context, I’ve been in paid media for a decade, now find myself leaning into some website management/SEO for client that are on Squaresoace and WiX.

All the research/opinion point to wordpress being top for ultimate SEO, but WIX and SP can be sufficient when a simple site is needed from a business perspective.

So the question is, why is WP better technically? Google reads the content onsite no matter what the CMS, you can do some SEO things with the others, what can you do with WP that you can’t with WiX/SP? Is there some code through plugins that somehow inject more information that google reads?

One thing i’ve read is site speed, but that can’t be the only reason.

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 ...
