What is the IP address of the MOZ crawlbot?
-
Our preproduction site is restricted to a specific IP range.
Prelaunch I'd like to use MOZ to check the site but this obviously isn't currently possible. Is there an IP range I can whitelist ?

Hi,
Moz is hosted on Amazon. See this sample log entry from today:
54.146.235.41 - - [17/Sep/2017:09:48:13 +0200] "GET /best-deals.html/page/12/ HTTP/1.0" 200 15803 "-" "rogerbot/1.2 (https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-procedures/what-is-rogerbot, rogerbot-crawler+aardwolf-production-crawler-97@moz.com)"[XF 54.146.235.41]
That IP is part of Amazon's ASN.
whois -h whois.radb.net -- '-i origin AS16509' | grep ^route
You can either use something like mod_authz to allow the domain amazonaws.com to connect or you can get each IP from AS16509 and allow that.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Chris

Just to expand on this, I found the following quote from a Moz member of staff:
"I wish I could give you IP addresses, but they change all the time since we host Roger in the cloud. There's not even a reliable range of IPs to give you. You can totally whitelist the useragent rogerbot, but that's the only reliable information about the crawler you can go off of. I hope that helps but let me know if there's any other solution you can think of. Thank you! "

Unfortunately this is all I can find: https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-procedures/what-is-rogerbot with no IP range shown.

Attempts to fix MOZ recommended issues resulted in drastic ranking drop.
I have a website built in SquareSpace. https://www.ruffhaus.com/ I recently started working with MOZ to track and improve organic SEO. After my initial site crawl, search visibility was reported at a waping 2.38%. Moz showed several critical crawler issues. Most were redirect, 4xx and long URL. So I started working on fixing the redirect and 4xx issues first. I thought this was a good thing. But now my already sad search visibility has dropped to .07% (-95.97%!). I also went from #1 on keyword, brand implementation plan (and 3 variations), to #27. What? Wondering where I went wrong and how to remedy? This is all new to me so I am sure I'm not providing all the info you need to answer my question. Hoping providing the site URL will help. Fire away!

Moz says my pages don't have rel="canonical" but they do
Hi, I've just had my initial report from Moz and it says my pages are missing rel="canonical". I'm using the Yoast SEO plugin on my WordPress site which adds these automatically. I have also checked the source code for my pages and can see rel="canonical". What has gone wrong please?

New to using MOZ. Familiar with Google Analytics. With MOZ is there a code snippet to include on my site?
Just taken over web marketing responsibilities at my company. Will be doing some major website upgrades soon. I'm not familiar with MOZ and don't want to overwrite anything. So when setting up MOZ, is there a code snippet that goes anyplace on the site like there is with Google analytics? Thanks.
