Unsolved Can Moz integrate GA4 data?
-
With the new GA4 coming out in 2023, can our Moz accounts connect to the new GA4 property?
-
@Tom-Capper The integration is everything because it allows us (agencies) to have all the high-level metrics, at-a-glance on one report. I can definitely get the acquisition info from GA, but to have it on the report that we send to the client, makes the Moz report a one-stop shop experience. That's what sets Moz apart from Ahrefs and SEM Rush, etc. Did this answer the question?
Speaking of which: It would be amazing if we could have "seats" that were limited to specific campaigns and read-only. This would allow agencies to give their clients a login where they can see everything we see, but not change anything. In fact, this would eliminate the need for the reports, which we send them on a monthly basis. This would raise the agency's service value immensely, and therefore...Moz's
As for Search Console, it shows keywords that are no on the Moz Opportunities list because it shows keywords that are locally ranked high, and those that are ranked way down in position, which is helpful, because if a high CTR keyword is ranking in position 89, we can work on that to bring it up.

@bizmarquee Thanks! This is really useful.
Can you elaborate a bit on what you're getting out of the Moz GA integration that you're not getting out of GA itself - is it keyword-centric views?
Similarly, what metrics are you comparing between Moz and Search Console?
-
@Tom-Capper The GA integration is vital on the reports. We like to show our clients how their Organic traffic stacks up against other methods of acquisition. For example, we've had clients using Pay per Click and then hired us to increase their organic presence, and by the GA integration on the reports we are able to hold accountable the organic traffic cannibalizing the PPC traffic.....or not. Either way, it's the first real proof of the effectiveness of the SEO campaign.
I read above that Search Console might be included, and that would be invaluable. Currently, myself and my team use both Moz Keyword Opportunities and Search Console because they have different results. All in one place would be amazing.

Sorry for the slow reply, but apologies - nothing we can share publicly right now.
Still interested in any background you can provide your intended use of the integration, and what matters most to you, that we can keep in mind for our testing, of course.

@Tom-Capper Curious on any updates on this front. I have a client that uses only GA4, and I'd love to take advantage of a Moz integration when it available. Any chance there is a beta group I can participate in?
-
Yes, we're anticipating Universal Analytics will be deprecated. And of course we'll make sure we're ready for that - we'll likely replace with GA4, Google Search Console, or both, but we're trying to understand how users are using these integrations, and what they value from them.
Hence, any comment or colour you can provide is much appreciated, and can be added to our existing research! Is it custom dashboards for organic traffic, for example? Or do you like that you can see other channels on the campaign home screen? Would you prefer if conversions were there too? That sort of thing.
-
@tom-capper I understand Universal is disappearing next year. We need traffic data, what would you provide if Universal goes away and you don't have GA 4?
-
Hi!
This is something we're actively considering - we may make some other improvements or changes to our data integrations at the same time.
Speaking of which - I'd love to know how you make use of the GA integration. Any feedback might help to set our course

GA4 showing 2 versions of my homepage
When my website Custom Made Casino switched from universal analytics to GA, i have noticed that now in the behavior section it is showing 2 versions of my homepage which I feel may be impacting seo. It is showing the main url which we use for everything, https://custommadecasino.com/ , and it is showing https://custommadecasino.com/index.php?route-common/home. This was never the case with universal. Does anyone know if this is a problem and if so, how do i fix it so that our proper homepage is what is indexed?

GA4 account & property not showing in traffic property setup list.
Hi there, I've connected multiple client accounts to GA4 already, but three of our accounts that we have administrator rights to in GA4 are not showing up in our selectable accounts/properties list when logged in via Moz to add to the traffic settings area. Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?

Will Moz support GA4?
With the date for the switchover to GA4 fast approaching, will Moz support it? I can't seem to get any clear answer on this.

Custom Events Not Showing in GA4
I have some experience in successfully creating custom events for GA4 via Tag Manager, but I have one account where my events are firing in GTM but not showing at all in GA4 (not real time or anywhere). I have twice done them over and published my changes but still no luck. Any ideas what else the issue can be? There are no internal filters at the moment. Thank you.

Our client changed their domain name. Can we replace without losing the data for the old domain in MOZ ? We are at our campaign limit would the old domain count as a campaign?

Moz pricing plans don't make sense
Hey. I posted a question about this on my other Moz account (one I use for moz local), but it appears to have been removed, so here goes again. Can someone from Moz please explain to me why that in your plans, as the price goes up and more campaigns are allowed, the amount of keywords tracked per campaign goes down? $149 plan - 5 campaigns - 450 keywords = 90 keywords per campaign. $249 plan - 25 campaigns - 1100 keywords = 44 keywords per campaign $599 plan - 100 campaigns - 3700 keywords = 37 keywords per campaign What confuses me here with your pricing plans is two fold Modern SEO requires a lot of quality content, interlinked together to rank well (in most cases). Your SEO guides even talk about this. Blogging is one of the most popular ways to do this. However, in any modest website these days, especially one that runs a blog, how does tracking only 37 keywords per campaign make sense? The fact is, that even your starter plan with only 90 per campaign doesn't make sense. My business website is tracking about 300 (that actually drive traffic). I provide my SEO clients with the same type of work I would do for my self, which again reinforces that 37 keywords is plainly pathetic. Every online pricing model I've ever seen follows one simple rule: When price goes up, you get more for your money, not less. At first glance you might think that is what you're getting when you step up a plan and get more campaigns, but then to have less keywords per campaign simply doesn't make sense at all. What does make sense is to have a more flexible pricing model. Instead of locking us into set tiers which don't really make sense, you should allow a more flexible pricing BEFORE we have to go up to enterprise. Why not have a per project price of 'x' price per month, then have a price per keyword or maybe per 100 keywords. This would allow all of us the flexibility to run campaign depths that make sense for us, not for your counterintuitive views of how we should be tracking them. Again, I'd really like a Moz staff person to respond to this as the last time I commented about this, it was removed.
