Hello,
I want to know how moz pro calculates the keyword difficulty? What are the basic things which moz pro consider while calculating keyword difficulty? Whenever i check my site(Sehhaty app) it shows different keyword difficulty. why so?
Thanks.

To chime in as well, you will strongly want to take into consideration what your PA and DA are, in comparison to that of the competition when doing SEO Keyword research. Using the Moz Pro tools is a wonderful place to start (IMHO), but to go one step further, then take the top performers in Moz Pro, and actually look at the SERPs for those in Google to see if your page can outperform the competition.
Hope this helps.

Hey there!
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Great question! Keyword Difficulty takes into account the Page Authority (PA) and Domain Authority (DA) scores of the sites ranking on the first page of Google for the given query. We also modify intelligently for the projected click-through-rate of a given page. This puts more weight on higher-ranking, more visible pages and less on lower-ranking, less visible pages. The formula also accounts for newer pages on powerful domains that may have DA scores but have not yet been assigned PA values.
You can read more about the Keyword Explorer Metrics in our Guide.

Best way to find keyword volume data for lists
Hi Mozzers! I have a workflow question. I like to browse for keywords by hitting the SERPs and getting Related Keywords, People Also Search For, and Long-Tail Variants using various tools. I then scoop up these entries and paste them into a spreadsheet. The next step would be to find search volume data. Does Moz Explorer offer a good way to find this data for lists of keywords? I see how to get this info for one keyword at a time, but I'm interested in getting KW volume for a list, either by pasting KWs into a field or uploading a spreadsheet. I recall using the Google Keyword Planner once for this purpose, but I wonder if Moz also offers a way. I am a Moz Pro user. Thanks in advance for your advice. AK

Moz profile
Hi, For some reason when I try and add my site's link in my Moz profile I keep getting an error. My site an SSL so I used https instead of http. I tried again without the 's' as my domain redirects to the https version, but this didn't work. Then I tried without http or https and this didn't work either. Why does Moz hate my site? It's actually really good!!! Thanks, Amelia

Why can't I add more than one campaign in my trial version of MOZ?
Hi, I'm on the 30 day trial and I can only run one campaign right now. I thought I could add in 5 campaigns. When I go into Manage Campaigns the 'add a campaign' button is light blue and I can't click it. Is this just because I'm on the trial? Or should I be able to add 4 more campaigns?
