Should I change my GBP name?

I built a headlight restoration business. Seemed like a good idea at first and so I named my business Headlight Cleaners. Almost immediately I got headlight restoration clients however, after about a year doing this I'm seeing that monthly revenue is capped at about 1-2,000$ because the search volume is just so low.

So I'm switching to a mobile detailing business.

I just updated all my services, citations, backlinks with information and keywords all the good stuff.

The big question is, should I change my name? To something like - Levi's mobile detailing or Chicago mobile detailing LLC like all my competitors🤣

I'm nervous it will cause a reverification. I'm using my dad's office as my business office. I have had like cleaners LLC and if I decide to move forward with this I'll change my LLC name and all my citations and descriptions and backlinks to match my new name before changing my profile name.

However, I don't know if they'll let me pass my business verification. Because I have done some clients in my office parking lot and I can put my papers inside and take a video but at the end of the day I'm a mobile detailer and I'm really not at the office ever.

I have 62 5-star Google reviews and already monthly traffic so it would be devastating if they wouldn't verify me. Any advice or anecdotes are appreciated!

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 ...
