Do you know any competitive landscape tool ?
-
Hello Moz community,
I wonder if you have tips / tools to build a good competitive landscape "picture" for your clients ?
When i'm working on a pre-sales audit, i like to generate 100/200 keywords related to my prospect universe and then show him how well/bad positioned he is on this "market".
To do so i use AdvancedWebRanking to monitor position of prospect + 3 competitors for this list of Keywords. Then i manually calculate a "market share" derived from each actor position.
I wonder if there is a tool that can automatically do it ? For a list of keywords that you input.
Thanks for your answers

Ryan and Ruth,
Thanks for your answer, indeed lowering the number of keywords to the "broader" ones is a really good option. I'll try AuthorityLabs.
Meny thanks

Hmm... This is really tough to automate as it can become really inclusive; meaning, often there's a one/two degrees of separation within search results where your client or their competitor could be discussed within the top ten of the search results. For example, the search could end up pulling a review site that's discussing client/comp products and then linking to them. While clicks would show up from this site as referrer the value associated with the ranking should also be part of a report like that.
What you might be able to do to convey the same idea but with quicker iterations would be to really lower the number of keywords that you're reporting on to a smaller level and then clustering them into representative batches. If they become a client you can bump up the reporting details, but at the initial stages you're really pitching your knowledge, service, and system. I think you could get that across with fewer keywords and deeper dives into the marketplace. That way you could present on options like advertising on sites that feature reviews of your competitors, print options in smaller / low-cost markets, image-map-knowledge box results, etc. Cheers!

Bye Bye Keyword Difficulty Tool :(
So the Keyword Difficulty Tool will be retired from the end of this month. Is anyone else worried about this? - because I just don't trust the numbers coming back from Keyword Explorer. Never have. I've even raised this with Moz staff previously, when there was a huge difference between the score given by the keyword difficulty tool vs keyword explorer. From what I see in Domain and Page authority and in the SERPs then the score from keyword difficulty tool, was always more accurate, and thankfully have been able to use both tools, but from next month I feel somewhat uneasy about solely relying on the score from Keyword Explorer. Thoughts? and feel free to run your own tests on keywords and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

Rank checking tool for keyword analysis
We are looking for an ideally free suitable rank checking tool to perform a keyword analysis. Previously we used Firefox Rank Checker but currently this is not working effectively as it once did. We use Authority Labs as a paid tool to track rankings but this is a rank tracking platform and not so effective for a once-off rank check to perform a keyword analysis. Any thoughts, help or ideas here would be super appreciated!

In Need of Excel Formula to Manage Export from Adwords Keyword Tool
Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had an excel formula that they use to manage large amounts of data in spreadsheet exports from the Google Adwords Keyword Tool? Specifically, I am interested in something that establishes a solid corollary between a given keywords competition score and the amount of local/global monthly searches. Any suggested ideas or methods are very welcome. Thanks!

Google keyword tool
Hey anyone noticed Google's keyword tool seems to be returning weird data for search volume compared to just a few days ago? "iron fist clothing" exact match was returning around 1,000 local monthly searches and a monthly trend of approximately the same over the past year. As of yesterday it has zero searches for exact match and even the monthly trends have all been set to zero for every month going back a year Now I suppose this could happen in theory but the fact that the trend is showing up as zero for each month over the last year makes me think this could be a bug. I've also noticed this for one of my keywords on my SEO site, again suddenly gone to zero searches and monthly trends going back a year. However a quick check on webmaster tools shows the impressions going back a few months at the average of 1,300 that the old trend suggested it should be. Anyone else noticed this?

Is there a way to tell google to ignore keywords in Webmaster Tools?
In Google Webmaster Tools for my site, the #1 keyword is "ago", probably because we format datestamps like "3 days ago". Is there a way to tell google not to count the word "ago"? Seems like a common enough word that google should be ignoring it. I have a feeling the answer to my first question is "NO!", so my follow-up question is: is there a best practice for formatting dates for SEO? Thanks!
