Should I be concerned our FWE Mentions report shows tons of non-relevant results?
-
Our brand name also happens to be a common German word and when I ran FWE for the first time this week, I was surprised to see hundreds of returns for the German word rather than our brand name. Does this affect our SEO in anyway and if so, what can we do to mitigate this? Appreciate any insights! Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
I can see how this might be a tricky situation. The best advice I could offer would be to somehow make your search a little more specific - for instance you might run a query like "brand name+region" or "brand name+director" - you'll want to narrow down the search as much as you can in order to get the best and most relevant results.
The results you see in FWE won't be having a negative impact on your SEO efforts unless of course a search for your brand leads people to completely different SERP results than hoped for - though this would be something that would be best investigated by an SEO expert (I'm really here to support the tools specifically).
Please let us know if we can help with anything else and as always, feel free to pop a message over to help@moz.com if you're running into any trouble:).

I added a privacy policy link to my footer and now Moz is showing thousands of 4xx errors
My website didn't have a privacy policy so I added one and put the link in the footer menu. When I did this, Moz came back telling me that there are a lot of new errors on the site. Is this a bad thing? Do I need to address it? HY59Iks sYyAHCB

When I try to run a Moz report, it sends me to a 404 page?
Hey there. I'm trying to export a .pdf to send to my client. When I click "export pdf", the page sits for a second then goes to a 404 page? I've never seen this before. Is anyone else getting this problem?

How do I pull a rankings report for a specific week in the past?
The date of the rankings I want is January 13th. I can see the individual keyword history in rank tracker, but I have to go each word. I'd like to just have that report to compare it to, since that is when a lot of our rankings changed. So I need that report to compare our future efforts with. Please advise and thank you! Ruben

A good ranking Tool to generate reports for multiple markets
Hi, Unfortunately, Moz doesn't offer any feature to generate 1 report with the multiple keywords I have across different campaigns. Since I am running around 10-11 campaigns, it's quite time consuming to create the reports manually. Could you please suggest any good tool/service that can generate a report for multiple keywords across different campaigns ?
