SERP Changes depending on ISP
-
If I search Google for my site using my mobile internet provider I get different results from my main internet.
Before anyone suggests it, it's nothing to do with saved searches as I'm clearing cookies and I've tried on multiple different platforms.
I can plug my iPad and use my wireless, it's my normal rankings, but as soon as I switch to my mobile provider for internet, I'm 3rd instead of 2nd on the SERPs.
Any ideas?

Your results can change based on the Google data center that is utilized. Perhaps your mobile devices utilize a different one than your computers?

Logged in or out, it's the same! I actually tried two different mobile networks, both had the same results. I did think maybe Google are testing an algo with mobiles to display which one is more mobile friendly higher?

Does Live Chat affect SERPS
For the last week we have hosted Live Chat on www.freedomltd.com desktop and tablet. The latest MOZ ranking reports shows 4 increase, 86 decrease and 170 unchanged keywords. Could Live Chat have anything to do with this?

Why are my keyword rankings dramatically changing week to week?
I have a site (actual several) that has been up for many years now. Content is changed monthly - regularly. It would always rank in the top 5 positions for 5 or 6 keywords. Now all of a sudden (without any dramatic changes to the website) my ranking results from my weekly Moz reports are dramatically different from week to week - every week. One Keyword will be #1, then the next week it will drop 49 positions, the 3rd week it might be #5, then Not in the Top 50, then #1 again, and so and so on. This happens to all my keywords on my site. I was waiting for Google to finish it's changes to it's algorithms but it's now been long enough and I can't get a handle on what's happening, why it's happening, and what to do about it, and what direction to take with my SEO. My Traffic has actually improved over last year by approx. 25%, but I have also started a PPC campaign for this client. Any suggestions would be great.

Rankings Feature Changes
Hi guys, Is there a way that the Rankings tool within the campaigns could show a monthly comparison rather than weekly? Possibly a drop down just to choose weekly or monthly. At the moment, when someone outside of the team involved looks at the results, it looks as though the website is in a downward sprial, where as we could be lower than ever, just with one bad week. Thanks for your help! 🙂
