Location specific MOZ Ranking changes - How to track them
-
Hi All,
I have asked this question before here but haven't got any convincing answers. And now I am starting to see this in couple of my other projects .
I'm not sure how many facing similar issue like mine but its bit tricky.
Our company is based in Melbourne,Australia and we set MOZ campaign setting to google.com.au . The weekly moz ranking for one of the client keyword showed as Position Rank#29. But when I Checked Manually it is Ranking #3. So why does the moz show as 29 ?
**Keyword: **car exhaust
Website: www.professionalexhaust.com.au
To Replicate, I set the google search to google.com.au and on Search Tools I changed location as **Australia ( by default its set to Melbourne ). **When I did search now my result came in Page 3 - No.29 rank.
Note: By default the Google browser picks the location as Melbourne and gives localized result which is not tracked by MOZ. Now how do I track this in Moz to show localized ranking results which my customer see. I cant report this ranking to client, else I have to do a manual report which is time consuming .
Note : This is Tested in InCognito mode with all cache cleared.

I wanted to update this and let you know we can now track local rankings! See our blog post at http://moz.com/blog/local-rankings-in-moz-analytics to get all of the details.

Hi there!
Our tools are only setup to show what most users will see globally. The only way to try and target local rankings is to use geo-targeted keywords so you would use "car exhaust melbourne" which shows up as #2 in my search on google.com.au. We are researching a solution for local rankings but have no ETA on when I will have more information about that.
Hope this helps!

Lack of UK Keyword Volume Data In Moz
Is it just me or is there a considerable lack of keyword Volume data for UK Google search terms on Moz? I have 53 keywords and not a single one has any keyword volume data - these are not obscure terms and include the following as examples... leather satchel, leather laptop bag, satchels, leather bag, leather backpack, leather school satchel. Without this information aren't a lot of the services offered by Moz rather academic as it is impossible to know which terms are really worth targeting. What is the solution? I could use US data and hope it is similar but this seems close to a deal breaker for UK subscribers.

I'm very confused about this. From today, I realized that your algorithm for this tool changed. For example, I have search KC for this keyword before: suitcases for kids has KC is 23. But today I checked it again and it's 43. How can I deal with this new data? Is KC is good for determine that a keyword is easy to rank for ?

Should I exclude prepositions in tracked keywords of moz analytics?
I'm new to Moz. Just set up my trial campaign, and it had suggested many keywords. Many of the phrases that were suggested do not contain prepositions. For example, instead of something like "sporting good stores in Chicago" it suggested "sporting good stores Chicago" Today, I looked at the on-page optimization suggestions, which are (of course) suggesting that I remove prepositions from my page to rank well. Well, as you know, that is unnatural to the reader. But I suspect people are searching in higher volume, leaving the prepositions out. I know that if I were to search for a sporting goods store in Chicago, I would probably leave out "in." What should I do? Should I remove all the suggested keywords, and make them readable (which people are less like using in their search?) Do I go back to all my pages and try to optimize it for a keyword that is natural, but does not include a preposition (such as Chicago sporting goods stores) or should I be doing something else?

URLS appearing twice in Moz crawl
I have asked this question before and got a Moz response to which i replied but no reply after that. Hi, We have noticed in our moz crawl that urls are appearing twice so urls like this - http://www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/ www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/ Thought it may be possible rel=canonical issue as can find URL's but no linking URL's to the pages. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you Jon I did the crawl test and they were not there

Moz Conversion Tracking
Is there a place here on Moz where goals and conversions can be set up or viewed? If the latter, does Moz just take the data from Analytics? Any information on this would be appreciated. Thanks,

Moz crawl sees meta description but there are none
I have a new site I have run a starter crawl on. The crawl came back saying some of the pages do indeed have meta descriptions. When I go to the same page and use the Moz Chrome toolbar it says they do not have meta descriptions. I also know they do not have meta descriptions. Are there any instances in which the Moz crawler would see them when they are not there?
