Keyword ranking in google but not in MOZ
-
Good day,
When I type my keyword in google, the website related to this keyword appears on page 1 (7th link from the top).
However in Moz report, the keyword position is #13. I don't understand why.
Can someone explain the reason?
Thank you,

Personalized results would be my guess, too. Moz Analytics defaults to national rankings, so it won't take things like your location and search history into account.

When you check manually there is chance to use personalized results. Example - let mine site ranking for "web designer tips" on 10th position. I start searching and clicking and i can get on 1st position within some time. Because Google knows that i'm looking for "web designer tips" and i often click on this site. That's why this site will be boosted for mine results. But this doesn't mean that other users will get same. That's why on search console they return "average position".
There are few ways to escape "personalization". First (and free!) is to use browser "private tab" where you can see non-personalized and anonymous results. Second is Moz. There are also many "keyword trackers" - SemRush, Advanced Web Ranking, Serp.watch, etc. But most important is SearchConsole. Because SC is only way to extract valid data from Google about your site.

Moz Pro for Local Catering Company?
Is Moz Pro or Moz Content useful for a local catering company? I've started a trial to try to determine if it will benefit us. Our new site will be up next week so we don't currently have traffic. We will be using some Adsense and direct mail campaigns to get started, but not sure if Moz local will be sufficient. Please help connecting the dots. I know it would be good to rank higher for example "Catering Tahoe, Ca." But how would Moz help me see what kind of content to create for a local catering company? I'm not sure a blog article makes sense.

I would like to find out where all this traffic is coming from.

How to add bulk keywords to keyword rankings
I have added hundreds of keywords to "Add and Manage Keywords" how do I get those over to Keyword rankings? Its showing 5 that I manually added. Do I need to manually add them one at a time? That seems a bit crazy. Is there no way to import them over from add and manage?
