How can keyword explorer help me search on a more local level?
-
I am a total novice at this. I am taking the tutorial and the first thing she addresses is Keyword Explorer. It makes sense to me, but what doesn't is that it asks me to look for keywords in USA. I need to explore keywords on a local level. Anyone out there who can help me with this? am I over my head with Moz Pro if I am a complete novice?

Grettelp,
You can sometimes have more success getting ideas for local keyword phrases using the free Google Keyword Planner tool. It allows you to specify a geography you're interested in - city, municipality, county, township, state, province, country.
Google Keyword Planner does not give specific volumes (they give rounded figures for groups of related keywords), but you'll at least get an idea of what people are searching for and can test it.
You can also see a sampling of the phrases people are using to find your content by looking at search queries in Google Search Console, also free.

Thanks for the question!
At this time, Keyword Explorer only supports national-level keyword data. Sorry about that! Right now the only real way to hone in on more local data would be to geo-modify the keyword phrase. That is, to enter something like "car dealership sacramento" versus simply "car dealership".
If you're looking to get rankings information for locally tracked keywords, you can do so in your Moz Pro campaign. Check out our guide here on how to add those to your campaign: https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-pro-overview/rankings/add-and-manage-keywords/local-keywords

Keyword rankings and tracked keywords - add manually?
Hi, I am a bit confused as to how Moz handles the tracked keywords list that it periodically updates and sends me e-mails about regarding where the position has changed etc. When I signed up for Moz it somehow automatically found a part of our keywords that we use and is now tracking them successfully. However, I have a lot more keywords to track ofcourse since we have nearly 1000 products and Moz hasn't really discovered most of them automatically. Does it mean that the rest of the pages are not optimized enough to even recognize a specific keyword or is it just the matter of adding them all manually? Thanks!

Pro just NOTworking, won't add campaigns...help!
I have been a member before, but cancelled due to Moz not doing daily ranking. Signed up again, as i like the reporting facility, and now have planned to use this along with Rankinity. I got the free trial, added in two new campaigns, which is not a quick process if you do it correctly, and neither are showing up in my campaigns tab. So I thought, maybe its because it's a free trial...so I upgraded to the 149/month, and got billed. Tried adding a campaign again, and nada. Also tried activating archived campaigns...again, nothing. Nothing is working, talking directly to Moz is pretty much impossible (no phone number, the 'talk to us' button never gets a response - tried that on Friday), so I am trying to get some kind of answers here. What I would like from Moz is: 1. Make the adding campaigns thing work asap (I need to make the client reports soon). 2. Make it so my old archived ones, when I click the activate button work. 3. If they are feeling nice for wasting hours of my time, maybe refunding my sub for the month and putting me back on the free trial or something. My head is about to explode....HELPPPPP! Love, Jeannie xo

I am having trouble using tools. Please help.
Hi, I have been using Moz tools like keyword, site explorere. And the results have all these big words in the column that confuse me. In other words, I don't know how to translate the results and understand what the results mean. Is there an easy guide on how to use the tools. Also, once I understand the results, Is there a way to come up with rough estimate on what it takes to rank my site for certain keywords. Is there a step by step or easy guide to become productive after using those tools? I have been through introductory videos and read some material like beginning SEO etc. But having hard time using the tool? Is it just me and every one is blazing with Moz tool?
