What is actually neccesery for SEO?

I am generaly a fullstack software enginner workin on React apps, BE systems and DBs.
I want to start making websites also to promote various things.
I want to understand SEO.

I have started from reading this docs: https://developers.google.com/search/docs
I went through it and some other online blogs.

From what I understood is that all the developer has to do is

  1. Semantic HTML tags like headings, sections, footer, nav, ...
  2. title tags
  3. desc tag
  4. core web vitals to be good
  5. alt tags
  6. cannonical tag if needed
  7. js and images seo
  8. sitemaps
  9. robots file

All the rest is on the content it self. So content needs to be unique, user-facing, helpfull.

Also I guess it is more important to have word of mouth and soical media to promote.

Questions:

  1. Is there something big I missed?
  2. If I want to start a website agency for example. What is there unique to do? How can I compete with big agencies with reviews and that are there for a long time?
  3. Structured data: from the docs all I have infered is that it does rich results? No additional benefits?
  4. E-E-A-T the docs say that it has no benefit in ranking and then on the E-E-A-T section it says it can be usefull? What is the position on this? 5. What is it exactly that those big SEO consultants do?

As I am new in it I understand I probably missed a lot so any additional links, blogs, books,... will be usefull.

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 ...
