SEO Moz Rank Report
-
Anyone else noticing the rank reporting seems to be off? My reports are showing "not in top 50" for some keywords that my site is on page one for. Not in places listings either because I know that can throw things off! Anyone?

Perfect
Let me know if there's anything else you need. Have a great day!

Just tried again and got it to work!
Thanks again!

Anytime!
The root domain for you would be comprehensiveobgyn.net. It also sounds like there may have been a temporary server issue at the time you tried to create the campaign. You'll usually only see this message if we get a 5XX response from a sites server when we're trying to validate the address.
I just ran a quick curl and got a 200 ok. I was also able to set up a campaign ok on my end. Can you try to create the campaign one more time for me? If you run into another error, I'll forward this into support so we can take a deeper look at this for you.
Best,
Sam

Hey Scott, nope that wasn't our site. The one I'm talking about is for Comprehensive OBGYN of the Palm Beaches

Hey Sam!
Thanks for the help! My root domain is just "comprehensiveobgyn.net" correct? When I try to enter that, it gives me an error code
Roger has detected a problem:
We have detected that the root domain comprehensiveobgyn.net does not respond to web requests. Using this domain, we will be unable to crawl your site or present accurate SERP information.

Ricky,
Here's a screenshot of what I see when doing a Google search for that keyword you provided: http://scott.offord.me/NgRz
I see that your homepage text is copied from another site (or someone else copied your text):
http://scott.offord.me/Ng5v
http://scott.offord.me/NgRLUnrelated, but if this is your site, I see you still have the hello-world blog post visible to the public. Screenshot: http://scott.offord.me/Nft0

Hi Ricky!
So there are a couple things to discuss here. The main one is that you're campaign is set to track your subdomain, but you have a 301 redirect from your sub to your root domain. You're also ranking on your root domain. This is going to potentially throw off your results since we're looking as how a given keyword is ranking based on the campaign (in this case, sub) domain.
Looking at the search results from Safari set in private browsing for the keyword - west palm beach gynecologist - (I didn't see west palm beach obgyn in the campaign), confirms this as we're showing not in the top 50, but I found your domain in position 7.
Universal results (places, images, videos, etc) shouldn't throw off your rankings either as they're listed separately on the rankings page of your campaigns.
I recommend setting up a new campaign with the root domain in your case. You can archive your existing one to save the historical content in case you ever need to revisit it. Thanks!

For instance "west palm beach obgyn" is one of our keywords. The rank report shows us not in top 50 or in local. However, if you search that keyword you will find our site on page 1

I know you are not talking about maps results, but are there terms you are looking at specificially that have a local/city name in them, or are they non local oriented keywords?

Unsolved Does Moz Pro include Moz Local
My client has bought about six Moz Local accounts and are pleased with results. We have not yet used your Moz Pro program. The client might be interested in switching to the Moz Pro if those Moz Local accounts can be included into it. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks!

Understanding Moz Opportunity and Potential
Hello Friends - I am just learning Moz tool via Udacity I was doing some analysis using Moz for the following keyword "digital marketing courses" This is the result what I get. Moz tells me the opportunity is 83. This is a high number and does not reflect what I see when I search in google. The page is full of ads. A organic click is going to be very difficult.

Moz potential also says 79 - again a high number which does not seem to be the reality. It is going to be very difficult for a new service to rank higher. I have fundamental doubt on whether SEO will work on keywords which are in high demand by paid ads. more that 30% of the real estate on screen gets taken by paid ads. Even if one searches for long tail key word the story remains same. Does SEO really have a chance to compete with paid ads for business driving keywords? pub0 -

Rankings confusion in pro campaign
Hello Moz-world! I recently set up a new campaign, and the crawl is still in the process of wrapping up (been 4 days). When I look at my rankings it tells me "not in the top 50" then when I scroll over, it shows me that my client is ranking in position 3, in the instance of one keyword. Anyone know why there is a discrepancy between what the report shows, and what it shows when you mouse over the rankings? Thanks! Tyler

Ranking report and language
Unfortunately I noticed a huge problem in rank tracker amd ranking report. My site is in italian and I configurate the ranking report using google italy. The problem is that the ranking is related to www.google.it but using a browser set with english language!! Infact for a specific keyword the ranking position is 8 (using english) and 12 (using italian). This is a huge problem for me and makes useless any report! F

Ranking History - different to my actual
Hi Little confused with the ranking report on a campaign. www.google.co.uk I am position 1 for "web development company". On the ranking report I am not in the top50. Last update was on the 18th Jan. How current is the ranking report as my other ranking software (Rank Tracker) is a little more upto date?

Rank tracker based on personalization or not?
I have been using the rank tracker to update clients on their current positions/improvements etc. but have been told a number of times now that the results they were seeing were not the same. Does the rank tracker work by giving results based off my location or from somewhere else or what? I should mention that I am based in Malta and my clients are based in the UK and Italy (with their sites being optimized for local keywords) I also ask them to clear their browsing history and to restart their browser before they check.
