Why doesn't Moz read the right meta description?
-
We have a WordPress blog and Moz continues to read our site title as the meta description instead of the nicely crafted and SEO-friendly meta descriptions we are writing on each post in our Yoast plugin. Can someone help use understand why Moz is reading the site title rather than the post meta descriptions?
(We did test deleting the site title all together but then this made Moz think that there is no meta description for any of the posts.)

- Ok first you need to check your source code, probably you already did it, if so just ignore this step if not please check your source code using the dev tool of chrome, the thing is you need to check the HTML of your site. Title and Meta Description Tags.
- Update your Yoast Plugin based on your comments the source of the problem start with Yoast which honestly is not perfect and it had several issues and bugs recently.
- Deactive Yoast, Go to your dashboard and deactivate the plugin. Then you need to insert the Title and Meta Descriptions (manually) the tags that you want to insert on a single page and then run a test using the On-page Graderon this way you can determinate if the problem is Yoast or Moz.
- If you're still having trouble I will suggest you write to Moz support team help@moz.com

Remove account from MOZ
I have subscribed for 1 month free Moz trial account. It was free but to subscribe this account I need to put my credit card details. Suddenly at the end of this 1 month term period, Moz tried to cut 149 Dollar from my account without notifying me. But they could not because there were insufficient funds on my credit card. I haven't used any services and would like to remove my account from Moz service? Would appreciate your assistance.

Does the Moz toolset have a monthly reporting function yet? Can't seem to find it in the interface. I'm trialling the software but probably going to move to another service if this isn't available.

Why hasn't my site info shown up yet?
I set up a campaign a few days ago (middle of last week) and the information still hasn't shown up. I figured that analytics were gathered weekly so I let it sit until Monday, but it still tells me to check back in 24 hours. Thanks for your help! Love the suite, by the way - lots and lots of great tools and easy enough to let my client see what's going on!

How do I make sure my account doesn't auto-renew
Our account is up for renewal in 10 days, but I want to switch off the auto-renewal. How do I do this? I've tried to resolve the issues we're having with support but am getting nowhere. Was promised an update on Friday but no-one got back to me. These issues have been going on for months. Fed up of paying for something we're no longer getting. I've been recommending Moz for years, but things really seem to have slipped lately. Sorry to air this publicly but my frustration, waiting for replies and not getting what we're paying for are spilling over. A very unhappy paying customer.
