How non-US Moz customers will use Keyword Explorer after the Keyword Difficulty tool is retired?
-
The new Moz Keyword Explorer looks good but its search volume is US based and completely useless for non-US websites.
This is from Rand's post: "while the tool can search any Google domain in any country, the volume numbers will always be for US-volume. In the future, we hope to add volume data for other geos as well."
In the Keyword Difficulty tool, Moz shows Google search volume data, which is similar to what I see in the Google Keyword Planner and Google Search Console. For example, keyword X in the Australian search market has 6-7k searches in the Google Keyword Planner and 8k searches in Moz.
The very same keyword has 118k-300k search volume in the new Keyword Explorer!
Obviously this new search volume is not useful in the Australian market. I often used the Keyword Difficulty tool to identify new keyword opportunities but what can I do to complete the same tasks after they retire the tool?

It's going to be a while -- possibly a year or more -- before we have good data for KWs outside the US. In the meantime, I'd suggest SEMRush, KeywordSpy, SpyFu, or Ahrefs, all of whom have fairly robust KW data sets outside the US.

Hi,
When can we expect to see Google search volume data for United Kingdom?
I've just used "root domain" in keyword explorer but all my keywords are showing results from US so Monthly Volume searches, positions for these keywords and ranking difficulty aren't correct for me.Thanks

Hi Gyorgy - I think you asked this same question in the reply to another thread, but I'll paste my answer to that below
Some important things to keep in mind about volume in KWE:
-
It uses United States volume only right now (if you search by default in AdWords, you may be getting global search volume unless you choose "US")
-
It's modifying that data with actual clickstream numbers to give greater accuracy
-
It normalizes trend volume, so if Google has a big spike or dip, they'll show that one number, whereas KWE tries to estimate the monthly average data.

I get this on every product, but i have put the keyword in the H1 tag makes now sense
Why it's an issue:Although using targeted keywords in H1 tags on your page does not directly correlate to high rankings, it does appear to provide some slight value. It's also considered a best practice for accessibility and helps potential visitors determine your page's content, so we recommend it. Over-using keywords, however, can be perceived as keyword stuffing (a form of search engine spam) and can negatively impact rankings, so use keywords in H1 tags two or fewer times. To adhere to best practices in Google News and Bing News, headlines should contain the relevant keyword target and be treated with the same importance as title tags

How can I print out the keyword ranking chart?
I have been working diligently on these keywords. Not a lot of them but trying to get very specific. I have one that has traditionally been very high for our site and in one day it dropped from 2 to past 50+ when I reviewed the history I was unable to find any place to print or download the graph for the history or any place to print a report for our keyword rankings.

Keyword Explorer Stuck
Is anyone else experiencing troubles with Keyword Explorer? We have several keyword lists and they keep getting frozen on "Gathering Metrics" for days, even if we had results for those particular keywords previously. Just curious to know if this is a pervasive problem and if there's some kind of an easy fix.
