Help request: posts not indexed

Hi all. I'm a local journalist with pretty basic SEO knowledge and can't seem to find a solution to my problem. I run a website that is properly indexed on Google (landing page + post categories) but I'm unable to index the individual news stories. I run the website on Wix and made sure the "allow search engines to index this post" is always activated. GSC says it can't index the posts because URL is unknown to Google, although I can access the URL properly myself. There are no no-index tags on any of the posts.

I assume it has something to do with my sitemaps, as GSC is able to access /sitemap.xml but gives an "unable to fetch" error message with /blog-posts-sitemap.xml. I don't know how to proceed further.

Thank you so much in advance!

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 ...
