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?

@ajrunthakurseo it was Moz/Google API related and from what this thread mentions it sounds like a fix has been deployed.

Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?I understand the issue you're facing with the three client accounts not showing up in the selectable accounts/properties list in Moz when trying to add them to the traffic settings area. This could be caused by a few different factors, and I'll provide some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem:
Check Permissions: Ensure that you have the correct permissions in Google Analytics for the accounts you're trying to access via Moz. Make sure you have at least "Read & Analyze" access to the accounts in question.
Verify Data Sharing Settings: Confirm that data sharing settings are properly configured in Google Analytics for the accounts that are missing in Moz. In the Google Analytics admin settings, check the "Data Sharing Settings" under the "Account Settings" section, and ensure that sharing with third-party applications like Moz is allowed.
Refresh and Reauthorize: Sometimes, connections between Moz and Google Analytics might encounter hiccups. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the Google Analytics account in Moz. This action can refresh the connection and reauthorize the access.
Check Account Limit in Moz: Moz might have limitations on the number of Google Analytics accounts you can connect. Ensure that you haven't reached the limit and, if necessary, remove any unnecessary or outdated connections to free up space for the missing accounts.
Review GA4 Property Settings: Double-check that the missing GA4 properties have been properly set up and activated in Google Analytics. Also, ensure they are visible in the GA4 interface itself.
I hope these steps help you in resolving the issue. If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask!

@Kateparish This was not the case since it was Moz/Google API related.

I have 3 GA4 accounts that are not showing up in Moz. I have checked permissions and refreshed browser, but they are still not showing up. Moz support said they are aware of the issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, I can invite my personal business email in as an admin on the remaining Analytics accounts and connect to GA4 via Moz through my personal Google account to scrape the remaining accounts.
Yep this is the fix for right now.

Even if you are an administrator in GA4, it sounds like you might be having a permissions problem. At the account, property, and data stream levels, make sure that all rights, including "Edit," are enabled. If the problem continues, a bug might be the cause. The best course of action in this situation might be to contact Moz support. They might have to upgrade their systems to work with GA4 more effectively. Just keep in mind that as GA4 is still very new, certain integrations may still need some work.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

So this was something I figured out, but then had support verify. Apparently there's a fix coming, but for anyone that has more than 20 GA4 accounts in their Google Analytics account, Google will only scrape 20 accounts, leaving many off (especially if you're an agency like us).
I ended up inviting my personal business email in as an admin on the remaining Analytics accounts and connecting to GA4 via Moz through my personal Google account to scrape the remaining accounts.
Not an ideal solution, but hopefully this helps others until there's a fix.

@luminusagency It sounds like you might be facing a permissions issue, even if you are an admin in GA4. Ensure all permissions, including "Edit," are enabled across all levels - account, property, and data streams. If the issue persists, you might be encountering a bug. In this case, reaching out to Moz support might be the next best step. They might need to update their systems to better interface with GA4. Remember, GA4 is relatively new, and integrations might still need ironing out the kinks.

Impressions clicks and traffic drop
Hello,
Reporting & Analytics | | SharonEKG
So something weird is going on, i run a few websites for clients, few different CMS. there has been a constant increase in traffic and ranking on one wordpress website and now the squarespace website is climbing up in rankings in the past few months. both has GTM installed for months, which has been optimized regularly.
for the wordpress website, in the past 2 weeks, starting June 4th, on google search console the clicks and impressions has started going down to the point that i lost 90% of clicks and impressions and traffic on analytics has started dropping a few days later, now at about 60% less traffic. for the Squarespace website, exactly the same thing, started June 7th and drop in clicks/impressions (though ranking increase) and then traffic drop. checked both GTM for recent changes incase of wrong code implement, no changes, no new major issues.
different hostings different CMS, no link between them. i just cant put my finger what is going on. anyone got any idea what is going on?0 -
Help Blocking Crawlers. Huge Spike in "Direct Visits" with 96% Bounce Rate & Low Pages/Visit.
Hello, I'm hoping one of you search geniuses can help me. We have a successful client who started seeing a HUGE spike in direct visits as reported by Google Analytics. This traffic now represents approximately 70% of all website traffic. These "direct visits" have a bounce rate of 96%+ and only 1-2 pages/visit. This is skewing our analytics in a big way and rendering them pretty much useless. I suspect this is some sort of crawler activity but we have no access to the server log files to verify this or identify the culprit. The client's site is on a GoDaddy Managed WordPress hosting account. The way I see it, there are a couple of possibilities.

1.) Our client's competitors are scraping the site on a regular basis to stay on top of site modifications, keyword emphasis, etc. It seems like whenever we make meaningful changes to the site, one of their competitors does a knock-off a few days later. Hmmm. 2.) Our client's competitors have this crawler hitting the site thousands of times a day to raise bounce rates and decrease the average time on site, which could like have an negative impact on SEO. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe Google is going to reward sites with 90% bounce rates, 1-2 pages/visit and an 18 second average time on site. The bottom line is that we need to identify these bogus "direct visits" and find a way to block them. I've seen several WordPress plugins that claim to help with this but I certainly don't want to block valid crawlers, especially Google, from accessing the site. If someone out there could please weigh in on this and help us resolve the issue, I'd really appreciate it. Heck, I'll even name my third-born after you. Thanks for your help. Eric0 -
Finding an Explanation for a Massive Spike in Organic Search Traffic
Hi, I watch analytics on a website (for a friend's business) that is reasonably stagnant, which just experienced a massive spike in search traffic for no explainable reason. The organic search engine traffic had always been steady, but about two months ago, organic search traffic started rising slowly. I checked OSE & a few other tools, but couldn't find any massive source of gained links or other explanations - just the usual occasional blog post about the company. I got in touch with my friend to see if maybe they'd gone with a competitor or something else, but he also had no idea (and even if he wasn't being honest with me, we still should've been able to spot links or social metrics or something!) Then, yesterday, their organic search traffic just tripled. The crazy thing is, it's not from one keyword: Every search term, and (not provided) essentially went up 200-400%. And I have no freaking idea why. No large gain of links. No website editing. The only possible explanation I thought up is maybe one of their competitors got knocked out, but I doubt that would cause such a stratospheric rise. So figured I'd turn to y'all. Any ideas on what might be causing such wonderful results? Anyone have any good tips on figuring out why a website could all of a sudden be doing incredibly? Analytics chart is below for the curious, and thanks in advance for any ideas / tips! nQHrscw.png

Why are plus signs (+) suddenly showing up in Google Analytics organic search keywords reports?
Since June 13, 2013, the number of organic search queries containing a plus sign (+) has gone up over 1,000% compared to the previous period on my site in Google Analytics. These plus signs appear to be taking the place of spaces in these search queries (i.e. "word1+word2+word3"). This appears to be almost (or completely) Google organic traffic, not other search engines. Since I highly doubt searcher behavior would change so suddenly, I'm trying to figure out why Google is replacing spaces with plus signs. Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?

Senuke and traffic generator program is a good idea?? I think i got some problems now.
First of all thanks for reading, especially if you are the one whose bright ideas will help me out:) I started using senuke xcr about 3 months ago, obviously at the beginning i didnt make much success(not like I do now). Later i bought that inferno thingy and it actually works. First 2 weeks didnt make much difference(although i could see some little but stable uprising) but after 4th week ended, the average impression and queries doubled up, 6th went up again, its like every week or two it jumps up and keeps it there. Also the actual traffic from keywords went up! When about the second week finished, i started using a traffic generator program, first it leveled out the impressions and seemed to help a bit. Lately i think it messed it all up, plus about 2 weeks ago there was 2-3 dayswhen i sent a bit more traffic than usual and around that time the average rising of impressions didnt happened, it might even went down. Now i stopped using traffic g. and everything stayed the same no improvement!! Anyone could help me? I need to get it moving up again! Also im still nowhere near the top as the keywords are competitive well at least for me. What do i do wrong and what should i do? Also what about traffic generator? ps is it safe or/and or allowed to write that? Thanks
