Are monthly SEO packages actually worth it?

Posting for u/Charming_Instance:

I’ve been seeing more and more SEO providers push monthly SEO packages lately, and I’m honestly curious how people here decide if they’re actually worth paying for or just another ongoing retainer.

From what I gather, monthly SEO services usually cover things like keyword research, on page optimization, backlinks, content updates, and tracking performance, since SEO rarely moves the needle from a single tweak.

The idea seems to be that steady work over time is what leads to real ranking and traffic improvements.

Conceptually, the monthly approach makes sense to me, because SEO is slow and competitive. What I’m less clear on is where the real value shows up. Some providers offer very structured, subscription style packages with fixed deliverables and pricing, while others seem to adjust what they do each month based on results and competition.

For anyone who has hired or managed monthly SEO packages, what actually mattered most in your experience? Was it having consistent work done every month, clear reporting, strong content, links, or something else?

Also curious what red flags you watch out for when someone is selling monthly SEO services.

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 ...
