Track rank by multiple zip codes, radius, or state?
-
I work for a hospital that serves patients in multiple states. I'd love to track keywords locally, but entering one town or zip code at a time would take days. Is it possible to track locally by multiple zip codes, by radius, or by states?
-
Got it. I think I'll have to spread my wings and fly--I'll try it out and see what kind of reporting I get. Thanks for all your help.

Hey Dave,
You're not crazy, but that video is showing you adding three separate locations to track that keyword by, not combining ZIP codes into one location. You can certainly track a single keyword by more than one location and see results for different locales that way! There's just no way to combine locales and track by a broader region. -
Hi Tawny,
Thanks for the timely response--I'm impressed with the help team at Moz! If you watch this 20-second video, it looks like it is possible to combine zip codes to track larger regions. Am I nuts? I could be nuts

Unfortunately there's no way to combine ZIP codes to track larger regions — sorry about that!
You could set up Campaigns to track geographical regions, but you'll probably run up against your keyword limit pretty quickly, since you'll need to track all those locations individually, and each location will count as one use of a keyword.
Our regions are defined by Google, so unfortunately we're limited to the locations they provide to us. That can make tracking keywords by the regions you're interested tricky, particularly if they're broad regions like Western Massachusetts rather than an individual city or neighborhood.
Let me know if you have any more questions I can help with, or feel free to drop us a line at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to sort things out with you.

Me again! (Sorry.) Would it work to create new campaigns for specific geographies (one for Eastern Mass, another for Western Mass, a third for Southern NH, etc.)? It'd be all manual input I guess, but if we could define geo per campaign, then we'd only need to do it once. Although I guess we'd have to replicate the keywords and any other info pertaining to the national campaign.

Hi Tawny,
Thanks for the response. I'm at "Add & Manage Keywords >> Track locally" and it looks like I can add zip codes one at a time. Is there any way to add multiple zip codes simultaneously? Maybe comma or space delimited?

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.
Sorry for any confusion! Our locales are actually not as broad as ZIP codes, though ZIP codes are partially how they're defined.The locales are tracked as a defined region with borders established by Google. It's hard to say exactly how Google is defining these areas, but it is likely related to ZIP codes and IP addresses.
I found this article while I was researching — it doesn't have exact answers to this question either, but had some valuable insight into Google's local search results: http://searchengineland.com/everything-need-know-pigeon-algorithm-211771. Section 7 of this resource would be the most relevant to how those locations are defined.
I'm afraid you would need to add smaller, individual locations to be able to track locally for those keywords.
If you have any more questions we can help with, please feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to answer all your questions.

Multiple campaigns for one website with multiple services?
Hi. Brand new to Moz Pro today. Question about whether to set up multiple campaigns for one website that promotes multiple services. I own a law firm and we have one main location, one website, 5 attorneys, and about 8-10 practice areas we promote. Each practice area has its own page and related content in the form of guides and blogs. Website is southernmarylandlaw.com. I only have this one website to track and promote, so I initially thought I only have one campaign. But I do want to track these separate practice areas separately. Each will have separate competitors, for instance. Each will need a separate set of keywords. People tend to search for a particular type of attorney, not just for the generic "lawyers." Should I use my 10 campaigns to set up a different campaign for each practice area we promote? Am I doing something wrong by tracking my one website 10 different times in my account? If I do not do this, then how do I possibly track the various practice areas and their separate keywords and competitors? Thanks for all your help and suggestions!

901 error code showing url back to back in crawl
Hi Everyone, I'm absolutely dumbfounded about this 901 issue (showing pages with our url back to back). Our site is hosted on Big Commerce: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com When I look for these pages being crawled I don't find them. I've called BC for help and I can't seem to find a solution or where to turn as to how to fix the issue at hand or even if it matters. Please see below what the Moz crawl shows. Could this be related to Yotpo or some app we have running? Or does this even matter and does it have any influence on rank? Do you have recommendations or ideas? Thanks so much.

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.

Is the Moz Rank Tracker Broken?
Hi, I've waited a few days for data to appear in the account but all of the keywords show 'not in top 50'. When I know this isn't the case since I can see half of them myself either on page one or two (yes I have cleared cache / history and have tried an incognito window to see the results for myself; I have even tried another PC. Also I'm really not keen on the new layout of the pro account, everything is so much smaller event the text. Personally I think it doesn't look half as clean and simple as it used to. Another thing, the link analysis tab isn't showing all of my links - it's only showing 2! Which is way off, even when I check with Open Site Explorer there are a lot more than that. Thanks Ricky

Track effects of content changes on specific page SERP
We are planning to implement changes to the content and layout of a page on our website due to the results of an A/B test. The URL, title, and meta will remain the same. How can we track the effect of these changes on this specific page has on SERP? We are being vague because we don't want to guide any answers to a specific question as I have not fully figured out MOZ's capabilities.
