How to fix Moz assigning the wrong keyword to a page
-
Somehow the Moz tool has assigned the main keyword here this to my Google Structured Data Update page. Most likely, I missed something which caused the error.
"Keyword np - /google-structured-data-update/"
This is for my page titled "Announcement of Google algorithm updates Impact SEO techniques"The canonical tag links to https://www.hillwebcreations.com/google-algorithum-updates-impact-seo-tactics/ as it should, so I am wondering how to update the keyword Moz associates this page with.Any leads to solving this would be appreciated.

Hi Samantha,
Thank you for taking time to answer. As SEMrush, Ahrefs and other keyword tools are all associating the right keyword to the intended page, as well as per my Google reports, it remains baffling.
I have a page with the exact URL of "google-structured-data-update", so it would be great if Moz could associate my Google Algorithm Updates page with the correct keyword association. Maybe 6 months ago we had the wrong canonical tag - just maybe. If so, is there a way to "reset" Moz's data?
Hopefully, you are right and someone in the Moz community can weigh in on what is happening.
Thank you.

Hi there Jeannie,
Thanks so much for reaching out to us - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
So, the thing about the way we gather our rankings data is that we don't exactly 'assign' a keyword to a URL in the way you've mentioned. There is no way to change this keyword manually.
When we collect rankings data, we pull this directly from the SERPS, and display the precise rank, and specific URL, for any keywords ranking in the top 50 SERP results. If that keyword is appearing associated with that URL in your campaign, it means that this is how it's displaying within the SERP results - that URL is the one that "np - /google-structured-data-update/" is ranking for.
It's possible that Google hasn't registered the canonical tag for some reason - though, we Helpsters are not SEO consultants and are only here for Moz tool support, so there may be someone in the community here who can weigh on on what might be happening, or you could reach out to your own SEO consultant about this.
I hope the clarity I've provided regarding the tools helps!

Why are NONE of my keywords fluctuating in ranking?
I am tracking 77 keywords for a particular company. These have been running for well over a month while I have been working on some page optimizations across the website. Why have NONE of my keywords fluctuated in rankings at all? This is very strange and I have never had this happen before.

Do Archived campaigns contribute to total keyword usage allowed in Moz plan?
We're debating whether to archive some campaigns or delete them entirely. One factor in consideration is if Archived campaigns count towards total keywords allowed in our Moz subscription. Thank you for your insights!

Number of pages crawled = 1; Why?
Since November, we've been trying to figure out why, when I select Crawl Diagnostics, my number of pages crawled is only 1. In mid-november, we changed our URL. That is, we went from www.example.com/home-page/ to www.example.com/new-home-page/. My first assumption was that I needed to re-create my Moz profile. That didn't fix it. The only crawl error we get is the no rel="cannonical" found -- but it's there. We find it on every page, including the home page. Our content shows up in search. Moz bar shows us info for every page. I just don't know what else to check. Everything else in my dashboard seems to look as expected. Specifically, I've turned to Crawl Diagnostics to find 4XX errors on our site. Typically we find one or two per week. Sometimes 0. Sometimes 4 or more. But it's been 0 since November. I highly doubt we've arrived at perfection. Any thoughts?

Under http://analytics.moz.com/pro/home only 2 of my 5 campaigns are showing up, but if I go to the old page http://moz.com/pro/home they all show up. How do I fix it so all show up under the new Moz Analytics?

Archived campaigns not in Moz Analytics
Hi team! Working in the awesome new Moz Analytics, I happened to notice that all (but one) of our archived campaigns seem to be missing from Moz Analytics (in the "Manage Your Campaigns" area). Have we jumped the gun and perhaps they're still working their way over in the migration? If so, do they have an estimated arrival date? Any light which can be shed on this is much appreciated. Thanks team!

Moz not allowing me to add social profiles?
I have 13 Facebook accounts I want to connect. I got 5 of them to connect, and Moz says that I have 10 of 15 accounts left. However, when I try to add another account it says that I have reached the maximum amount of accounts already?
