Competitor Rank: DA Tracking Available but Keyword Ranking Not Tracked?
-
I'm tracking a competitor who is very active and also very successful in terms of DA (via MOZ.) However, their domain shows up as "Not in Top 50" for every keyword ranking I track. I've verified via manual tracking of natural results (even with a proxy) that they are competitive with my rankings. It stands to reason that MOZ can track the domain because of the ability to monitor DA successfully. Is there any reason keyword rankings would be "cloaked" or unavailable to the MOZ algorithm when DA metrics are available?

Hi there Jan,
Thanks for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you might be finding some inconsistencies within our tool Without knowing 100% of the KW and the url you are tracking, I am not exactly sure how to address this question to your liking (while respecting your client's privacy). However I can say that if they are being pretty successful on the DA side, mostly likely they will do well in certain rankings. Please keep in mind that our competitor's tracker uses exact match when it comes to extracting data for a url. For example, if you are tracking www.abc.com as a competitor, then our tool will only go out and look for instances where www.abc.com comes up on a KW search, so any other instances where it doesn't match the subdomain we will not report (i.e. non-www site).
I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be glad to jump right on it!
Best,
Peter

Huge fluctuation reported by GSC for US Desktop for one keyword
Hi, I'm seeing a huge rank fluctuation reported by GSC (all rank trackers reported stable rank) for one of our pages, one particular keyword, in one particular country (US), and only Desktop (not Mobile). Is anyone else encountering a similar case? More details: huge rank fluctuation reported by GSC in the US, stable in other countries (since Oct 7th) all rank tracking service reported stable top rank in US cities (as well as our own friend's testing across the country) only happen to 1 keyword and its close variation (other keywords that the page also ranks for are quite stable) only observed fluctuation for Desktop, while Mobile is stable in those low-ranked days, the average CTR is only slightly lower than normal days Does anyone have any idea what could this be? Should I trust GSC's fluctuation or the rank tracking service's stable top rank? 0ee0a6cdd6cfc194e670ba5628d04e3d7c8253a35fdbf33291018aa4f528fd1e.png

Can I access old data/keyword research if I cancel my Moz Pro account?
I'm currently on the free month trial period for Moz Pro and I will probably cancel the account before the free period ends, but if I want to renew my subscription later, what happens to all the previous data? And does all the keyword research I've done disappear when I cancel it, or is it restored when I renew the subscription? Any insight is helpful! Thank you!

Keyword rankings and tracked keywords - add manually?
Hi, I am a bit confused as to how Moz handles the tracked keywords list that it periodically updates and sends me e-mails about regarding where the position has changed etc. When I signed up for Moz it somehow automatically found a part of our keywords that we use and is now tracking them successfully. However, I have a lot more keywords to track ofcourse since we have nearly 1000 products and Moz hasn't really discovered most of them automatically. Does it mean that the rest of the pages are not optimized enough to even recognize a specific keyword or is it just the matter of adding them all manually? Thanks!

Can you set up a custom report for keywords with a label attached
I'm looking to set up a custom ranking report, but I just want the report to show up keywords that I have attached a certain label to. I've attached a custom label to a number of my keywords. Ideally I would like a report which just showed me the performance of these keywords. Does anybody know of a way to do this? Thanks in advance.
