Best Ways to Use Moz to Increase Rankings
-
Hello,
I work for an online retailer and I have been using Moz for a few weeks now but have had limited success so I wanted to ask how I could better spend my time on this platform. I have been focusing heavily on the Page Optimization tool which has allowed me to rank high on the Google Shopping's Free Listings but it seems to have had little to no impact on the Google All search itself over those weeks. Perhaps I'm not utilizing it properly? I tend to focus on relevant keywords with high volume as identified by the Keyword Explorer tool. Alternatively, is there a Moz tool that might be more helpful? I can provide additional details or specific examples if needed.
Thank you for your consideration,

Hey ForestGT,
Moz is just a tool so unfortunately it wont help you rank, what it is helpful for is identifying opportunities - sounds like you've been doing that via the page optimization tool. It is also really helpful for letting you know if you've done something what impact that may have had e.g. if you've created some content did it gain some links?
SEO doesn't really have one thing to help rank its a combination of things and keeping track of what you are doing and what impact they are having is where Moz might be able to help. Sorry its taken a while to get a response I don't check into Q&A as much as I like as the interface became a bit more tricky!
I hope that helps and don't give up hope! If you're still feeling lost try to Moz guide on SEO and look at one keyword that's not too hard on competition and be patient ranking can take weeks sometimes months!

Can someone please take a peek at this?
I used to rank really high for the phrase "characteristics of down syndrome" for this post: https://noahsdad.com/physical-characteristics/ but not I've lost almost all traffic to the post. Even if you search for "characteristics of down syndrome Noah's Dad" the post doesn't seem to come up. I have no idea what is going on. If someone has a few minutes to take a look it would be very helpful. Also, I have lost almost all organic traffic to my site. I used to get close to 100,000 visits a month from organic traffic and now I'm getting 3k or so. So almost all of it is gone. I'm hoping whatever is going on with this post can be figured out so I can address and fix all of the other pages as well. Thanks so much for your time.

Duplicate Content after Moz Site Audit
Hello folks, So I signed up for the trial version of the Moz tool and ran an initial site audit. One of the site audit results is confusing me.
Getting Started | | jjimen03
It reports that there are two pages with duplicate content ( Each page has a duplicate page with duplicate content in it).
When I take a look at what those pages are, here is what I see: mysite.com/Contact-Us.html
mysite.com/contact-us.html
( The difference in the above is the Contact and Us, the first letters are capitalized on one of the URLS) mysite.com/index.html
mysite.com Now I am confused because for one thing, I don't have 2 Contact Us html files uploaded on my hosting server.
Why is Moz seeing 2 Contact Us pages? How to remove one? Regarding my home page, why is it flagging the same page as two different pages? How to remove of them?0 -
Hi, I'm looking to find out why a google+ account that was rarely used has 10,000 views. I want to discover what sites it is linked to. I entered the page url but no joy. can anyone help?
I would like to find out where all this traffic is coming from. It is most likely from an out of date sales site etc, but it's important to find out as it could be the result of hacking etc. It appears the page is linked to another site and I would like to find out which one(s) Entering the page url is not getting results, can anyone help?

Moz Pro won't stay connected to my Google Analytics profile
I just started a trial of Moz Pro today and it seems to have a problem staying connected to my Google Analytics account. Evenr time I refresh a page or click to a different page, I get a notification that reads "Our connection to your Google Analytics account was lost. Don't worry, you won't lose any data. Please reauthorize now." I click the link to reauthorize and it says it was successful, But then as soon as I refresh the page or click to a new page withing Moz Pro, the message appears again. I'm afraid that none of my GA data is being collected by Moz Pro. What should I do?

Google Analytics data not loading into Moz
I use several analytics apps on my iphone which require you to connect to your GA account. Each one gets immediate access to the GA data. With Moz, I connected to my GA account 3 days ago after many failed attempts due to some bug, but still have no data showing. Is there some reason why Moz would take several days to access the data where iphone apps take seconds? I am now a week into my 30 day free trial, and have spent lots of time trying to get it to work, but have not been able to do much. I'm afraid of how much of the 30 days will be taken up just getting Moz set up and working, rather than actually using and evaluating what it does. Any possibility of re-starting the 30 days from when it's actually working? I don't mind waiting patiently for some bugs to be fixed, just would like to know that I will still get a 30 day trial. Thanks.
