Moz client structure.
-
I am new to MOZ and am curious if each of my clients should have their own MOZ pro account or if I, ( ME the designer & optimizer ) just needs an account and i add each of the clients website to my account?
ie. do i log into 6 different clients MOZ accounts?
or do i personally create a MOZ account and each site is set up as a Campaign?
any advice?
thanks,

Hey Chris,
It definitely makes sense that you would want to comment and post in your own name and you can definitely take over the account, but you must make sure that the client is fully comfortable with that since the client would lose all of the MozPoints that they have earned over time and they most likely wouldn't be able to gain the account back if you add other clients to the account since it is true that we cannot transfer campaigns between accounts. Also, if your client continues to pay for the account and they decide to take the account back, you would lose the data of your other campaigns.
I would recommend having your own master account if you intend to add more clients in the future so that this does not create an issue with the current client's account, but they may be fine with that situation so you would need to work out how you proceed directly with the client.
As for the reports, you can create a custom report that would be emailed directly to your client on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis and those reports will look exactly like the reports that you receive from the custom reports section.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.

My clients have never complained about the reports, in fact they think it is too much if anything.
it is also really customizable in your settings, you can choose what to include and what it should say.
i would not recommend giving your clients access to your account as they then also are able to view your other clients stats.

Thanks Jorgen, i think the master account setup will work best for the future work too - plus i can then build up a profile.
are the reports good enough for clients or is it nicer for them to login to moz? do they see the same info etc?
thanks everyone!

yeah thats what i was thinking - I started out looking into MOZ for a client who has paid for the pro account, however it seems odd as everything i comment on and try and do is set up in his name - i just want to get this figured out as i'm sure transferring campaigns from one account to another is impossible...
Down the road i might have more SEO campaigns but for now its just one client. so 99 / mo is plenty
it seems fairly easy to hijack this account - just to put it into my name for now to keep things simple. eventually i can just change / upgrade the account as i need i suppose.

H,
this is all up to you I guess.
i personally have a "master" account myself with each client requesting SEO as a campaign. There I have setup weekly or bi-weekly reports (based on clients needs) so they recethrill the information they need. I my opinion this is more convenient, but as said it is all up to you. Also with the normal pro version you can only 6 campaigns active.

My first thought would be how many sites & who's paying? For $199 a month you get the Pro Plus subscription with 12 campaigns. So it would be more cost effective to have your one account with 12 campaigns (even if you're only using 6) than to have 6 accounts (costing $594 a month total) with one site on each... Unless your clients want more control over their information and would prefer their own individual accounts that they pay for and give you access to in order to do your work. Have you spoken to your clients to see how they feel about it and what they would prefer?
(Though technically it is against the Terms of Service to to authorize others to use their account, profile, or messages.)

MOZ refusing access to certain sections of the website if using VPN?
I've used PIA and expressvpn before without any problems. Today I got nordvpn and when I try to access my campaigns and link explorer but the connection is being refused while I can access billing and the forum section. I don't have this problem anywhere else atm so I think this might not be a problem from my side but rather from these specific sections. Edit: Any idea what's going on?

Changed to HTTPS: Do I need to update Moz?
Hi Everyone! I have moved my website from HTTP to HTTPS. I believe that I've done everything correctly. Now that I've done that, do I need to update my Moz campaign (and how to do that)? Or, will Moz handle it itself? Or, do I need to create a new campaign with the HTTPS url? Thanks so much!

On Page Optimization and Page Grader in Moz Needs Some Fixes
Okay, so I've brought this up a couple times to your team and have always been met with resistance and confusion, but I really feel like the fundamental design of your on page grader (the auto one) needs some changes in order to be really useful. Let's start with the basics. An on page grader is supposed to be a tool where you can enter your keyword or keywords and have it scan the URL to see how well the keyword has been implemented on the page. It checks for heading use, anchor text, alt tags, frequency of use, etc. We all should get this if we are here. Now, your manual page grader does just that and does a great job of it. I find it very useful for checking newly created pages, landing pages, competitor pages and the like. However, your auto version found in the Search > On-Page Optimizations is the culprit here. So, according to several staff at Moz, this tool scans your site every week when the rest of your site scan is done. It then takes the rankings of pages for ranked and tracked keywords and assigns a grade for that page. Here's the major problem.... in almost all of my accounts, it very rarely gets the association with keyword and URL correct. Thus, it returns a low page grade even though the grade of the URL would be an A or B for the correct keyword. What seems to be happening is I'm tracking multiple keywords, sometime close variations. This grade tool in a lot of cases is grading a page more than once for several keywords it's ranking for. All the variants it gets a low grade for because the exact keywords isn't in the title, headings, etc. The second thing that seems to be happening is some pages are not being graded using the primary keyword, but instead a variation. In this case it only shows low grades for the page. On one occurrence of trying to discuss this issue with you, I got scoffed at for saying the tool was "guessing at which keyword to use for the grade". Your staff was very adamant in saying "it's not a guess!" My counter point was, call it what you want, it's in accurate to the intended keyword to be optimized for. Now, when one first gets to this tool, all of the above doesn't seem like that big of a deal because there's an "add & manage page grade" section. This section allows you to add and manage page grades. So, one would think that you could go to this tool, add an page grades for keywords that the tool didn't automatically associate and delete ones that it added with an incorrect association and that would be the end of it. However, that's NOT quite the end of it. At your own admission, the tool doesn't function like that. Each week when a new scan is completed, these pages grades essentially reset. So any page grade that you deleted will simply show right back up again. Now, before I go any further, let me explain why this is such an issue for me. First, on page optimization is something my company does and sells as a service and we are pretty good at it. Not saying we're the best, but we're better than most. That said, one of my reasons for choosing Moz was because according to the verbiage on the pages, one can create branded reports to include on page optimization. However, when the tool doesn't get the right keyword to landing page AND there's no way to manually override it, then basically all of my reports make it look like my pages grades suck, when in face they don't. Now, if in my campaigns I only added the exact keyword for each page and didn't do any variations of, then this tools becomes much more accurate. However, I want to track multiple variations. Bottom line is this: I need a page grading and reporting tool I can count on and actually use. Thus far, you solution is riddled with problems and every time I bring it up, you fight me on it saying it's working as it's supposed to. What I'm saying here is "as it's supposed to" is fundamentally wrong. I'd like to discuss this with someone at this point, and preferably someone a bit higher up than a first tier support person because frankly, I'm not getting anywhere. Overall I love your service, but it's things like this that have me questioning wether or not Moz is right. I'm giving you opportunity after opportunity to prove to me that it is. Help me work this out so we can continue that trend. Thanks, Micha

Can you create additional users for Moz Analytics?
I have just begun setting up Moz Analytics for some of my clients. It lets me add 5 client's sites to a single account but I can't find anywhere to create an additional user/login for a specific account that way I can give access to each client only to their campaign. Is this not possible and if not something you plan on integrating in the near future?

Moz crawls
Hi all! I'm running two separate campaign crawls at the moment that I'm having a few issues with. The first is http://www.muchbetteradventures.com/. I'm tracking this at root to try an pick any problems with a previous version of the site, which is on the v1.muchbetteradventures subdomain. However, I'm only seeing 100 or so pages as being crawled in Moz, compared to thousands in Google. There's no access blocked alerts in Moz either. The second is http://www.sothebys.com/. I started this crawl at root a few days ago and no pages at all have been processed. Very odd! Any advice would be much appreciated.
