Rank Tracker Tool Accurate?
-
Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if you all have been noticing inaccurate information in the rank tracker tool.
Many terms are showing not in top 50, yet when i search from random devices that have never accessed my website before i find the url to be in the top 50.
Anyone experiencing similar issues and anyone have any ideas why the inconsistency?
Thanks

Curious how rank tracker has been impacted by Google's removal of the location filter? It would seem that getting location agnostic requests (United States for example) would be significantly more difficult at scale. I've heard chatter of a few tools having issues now.

Hello!
There can indeed be fluctuations in the rankings, as Alvaro has indicated, and I agree that setting up a campaign to track your progress if a top idea.
There can be a few reasons why the rankings might look different when you do a manual search, but it sounds like you have combatted the main one by running manual searches when signed out of your Google account and in an incognito browser to avoid any personalised results skewing the rankings.
However it's worth noting that even if you're logged out of your Google/search engine account other elements, such as geography and search history can also influence ranking positions. So, there can be a lot of variation in what different people, searching from different computers/locations, might see in the rankings.
The tool runs searches from a variety of IP addresses and IP blocks using non-personalized, search history/location-agnostic requests. In our experience these have provided the most accurate results, showing what the "most" users see, though we know there's still quite a bit of room for fluctuation!
If you're still stuck, please do pop us a message at support with the keyword and URL so we can take a closer look, help@moz.com.
Cheers!

Yeah, me too me that happens.
Rank tracker results are different from day to day and may not be accurate at the time. They help to show an approximation.
If you have a campaign Moz Pro Home weekly results for the keywords you have selected are updated. This tool is more accurate and will help you see the progress on your SEO.

Should keywords found in a keyword tool (eg. Keyword explorer) be implemented on a page in the exact order?
Hi guys, I have a question about adding keywords found directly from a keyword tool onto a webpage. I see a keyword opportunity from Moz's Keyword Explorer, for example, "dog giardia treatment natural" and was wondering if it should be worked into the page exactly in that order? For example, I've modified the question on the page to now read "Are there any other dog Giardia treatments that are natural?" Is this good practice? Should it be exactly in the order of the keyword found in the tool? Is what I've done too spammy? Appreciate any help! Thanks

Significant difference with DA scores on Moz Chrome app VS Website Tool
I saw a big difference between DA scores on Moz Chrome app VS Website Tool. Which DA score is the correct one? I personally believe the scores on Moz's site is most accurate. Do you happen to have issues syncing the scored to your Chrome app? Chrome App VS. Moz Research Tool (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/)

How non-US Moz customers will use Keyword Explorer after the Keyword Difficulty tool is retired?
The new Moz Keyword Explorer looks good but its search volume is US based and completely useless for non-US websites. This is from Rand's post: "while the tool can search any Google domain in any country, the volume numbers will always be for US-volume. In the future, we hope to add volume data for other geos as well." In the Keyword Difficulty tool, Moz shows Google search volume data, which is similar to what I see in the Google Keyword Planner and Google Search Console. For example, keyword X in the Australian search market has 6-7k searches in the Google Keyword Planner and 8k searches in Moz. The very same keyword has 118k-300k search volume in the new Keyword Explorer! Obviously this new search volume is not useful in the Australian market. I often used the Keyword Difficulty tool to identify new keyword opportunities but what can I do to complete the same tasks after they retire the tool?

Keyword Difficulty Tool - Bulk Data of Specifics?
For the keyword difficulty tool, if I want to see the details, I have to click on the keyword in order to see the list of the competitors and their DA and RLRDs. Is there a way to download this list for all of the keywords and their DA and RLRDs? The only bulk I can download is the list of keywords in my difficulty tool list along with their Bing search volume and keyword difficulty %. Thanks!!!1

Rank tracker
I know I being a bit daft here so bear with me.... I am using the rank tracker to track changes to keywords over time. The "track History button" is clicked to track these keywords. But when I download the CSV, the columns for last week, last month etc are empty. Only the latest column is populated. I believe I set this up last month. Shoudn't those columns hold the tracked rankings from this time? What am I doing wrong?
