Am I underpaid? $46K SEO account manager in Austin, 3 clients solo

Hey guys,

I’m trying to figure out if I’m underpaid at my current agency, and whether my experience justifies asking for a raise.

I make $46K a year with no college degree. I’ve got 3–4 years of freelance experience behind me, but this job taught me a LOT — it’s my first agency. Here I handle backlink management (we outsource the actual building), gap keyword research, training interns and assistants, local GBP optimization, page optimizations, content optimizations, Bing updates, Yelp optimizations, content briefs, and content writing — all of it across 3 clients, on my own.

Before this I had some paid ads experience (freelance, never agency, but I’m decent at it), plus GA4 and GTM setup skills.

I’m in Austin, TX. The other account manager has a master’s and I don’t, so part of me wonders if I’m being ungrateful even asking. We both carry the same load though. I graduate October 9th with a bachelor’s in marketing, which I’m hoping strengthens my case. And honestly, the stress is starting to affect my health — high blood pressure because of it. Longer term I’m looking to move in-house, since agency life is a lot.

So: does asking for a raise make sense here, or should I hold off?

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 ...
