Automated SEO Report for Agencies
-
I have a lot of SEO reports to send out, SEO Moz is awesome but it's not designed for this kind of work.
I would like an automated report that does an on page optimization report on the potential client's site, finding errors etc it does not have to include fixes for each. This is just a basic report but it must look nice and be user friendly.
I have looked at Raven and it looks ok however it does not have any decent On Page Optimization reports.
I know I could crawl and then delete the campaign in SEO Moz but that is very time consuming and far from ideal.
If anyone knows of a solution please let me know

Very late respond, but as I see this post is still getting viewed maybe this can help somebody else
DashThis works great for seo, digital marketing and social media automated reporting. You just have to plug-in your sources and you're good to go! Your reports update themselves automatically whenever you need it to. You can also clone your reports from a client to another just by changing the source...everything will update with the right data. It’s integrated with over 30 different sources (Google Analytics, Adwords, Moz, Ahrefs, and a lot more).
You can even schedule automatic email dispatches of your reports so that the system does the work for you.
You can explore some more details about our SEO reporting tool features
We’re an easy-to-use but powerful tool, but our true strength is our customer service. We’ve been known to get up in the middle of the night to help someone on the other side of the world… because they’re already in the middle of their work day and we don’t want them to wait for anything!
There is a multitude of tools like ours (for different needs, budgets, etc), and a quick search can get you at least a dozen. Most offer free trials (ours does), so it’s important to get a feel for the tool to make sure it’s what you want and you feel comfortable with it.
But, again, ideally, it should almost be like a “set-it-and-forget-it” kind of thing!
Disclaimer: I work for DashThis - but I wouldn’t love it any less if I didn’t!

Sorry I'm so late to this discussion.
Your request makes a lot of sense and I can definitely understand the sort of work you are trying to optimize here. You are right that SEOmoz doesn't yet support this scenario particularly well .
I think the best solution we offer right now is to create a campaign for each prospect's site and then create a custom report with the info you wish to include (we added the custom report feature since you asked this question).You can create a custom PDF report with analysis from whichever areas of the site you wish to include (so you could just include on-page, or on-page and rankings, etc.) and add comments in if you need to explain anything. I'd love to know if it helps.
Do you mind sharing specific needs for this sort of report, such as specific content, timeframe for creation, format, etc.? This would certainly help us as we plan future updates.
Thanks!

Check out Ginzametrics, it automates the kinds of tasks it sounds like you need help with (full disclosure, we have a personal relationship with the founders of Ginza, but it is outstanding SEO software): http://www.ginzametrics.com/

I completely understand. We had the same response to both! Maybe SEOmoz will help us out here and kick in some automation.

That seo engine is far too complex for my clients

Cheers Paul,
I have found Woo Rank, hmm It's a little flakey looking?
Maybe I am just too fussy

We use woorank.com (the pro version) for running automated reports. I do understand your frustration with the various options out there. We too have tried several (including Raven) as well as seoengine but found seomoz to be the overall winner.
Still, we use the woorank for generating the big picture reports but again (to your point) they do not have strong on page results.
If you are up to the technical challenge, try SEOengine. @ http://www.seoengine.com/ I personally trained with one of the founders there and he is very sharp. It is a little more involving than most SEOs want to be for report generation but I recently heard they had a new product that automated this for you.
Good luck!
Paul

A competitor's SEO firm is building spammy links to my website.
A competitor's SEO firm is building spammy links to my website. I know the disavow link process, but even this can be time consuming. Is there a better way to protect my website? Any and all ideas appreciated.... Are there any cool Moz tools that can help me manage this assault? Sorry, just a follow up from me... It appears that many of the spammy links (referrals) I see in Google Analytics are not present in Google WebMaster Tools. Does this mean that the spammy ones that I'm concerned about have already been discounted by Google, or are the spammy links no-follow? Any input on this would also be appreciated.

How can I create a keyword ranking report with a custom date range?
I need to see change since campaign inception, and would like the flexibility of other date ranges. (in a list form, not per keyword) Does Moz have a way to do this yet? This is the one feature I really need that Moz hasn't historically had. Can the API be modified for this? Would appreciate some feedback guys!

How to set the crawler or reports to ignore
I have a mobile version of a site with a URL string that disables the mobile view on smartphones (view full site), string is like this example.com/page-name.html?mobile=off I need the seomoz pro reports or crawler to ignore it because the crawler visits both versions of the site then reports them as duplicate content. Is there a setting page I haven't visited yet that will set this?

How to use Crawl Report for a test directory
I have a client's new site set up in a folder that is not linked to from the main site. When setting up the Crawl Report, I put in the starting url for the new folder, http://oldsite.com/new/start.php. The Crawl Report came back with a crawl of the current site instead. How do folks run the crawl report to test sites before they are public? Thanks!

Question regarding the SEOmoz Report Card
A report card is directed towards one keyword. What if one is to target two keywords on one page? For example, if I want to target SEO in Miami, Miami SEO, and SEO Miami it would be impossible to get an "A" on the report card for all three. What is the best way to target two-three keys on one page? Lets say these keywords are equally beneficial to the site, and we do not want to have to use hierarchy for one key over the other. Would it be wise to build a page for each? I feel like that would be redundant to the user. It says I need the keyword 4 times in the body so I should have 4 "SEO Miami" and 4 "Miami SEO". High importance factors. What makes them high importance? The keyword should be in the beginning of the title. How does this make sense as a high importance factor. Many titles are going to sound spammy if this is how they are written. Lets use Miami SEO again as an example: Miami SEO from [company name] bla bla bla sounds like spam. Learn about SEO in Miami from [company name] sound much better and is probably more likely to get clicked on. How important are these High Importance factors? I was always under the impression that we build the site for the user however the report card changes that perspective.

Looking to Hire an SEO Expert for Travel Site
Hello Everyone, I hope this is OK to post here. I run a travel website and we operate tours abroad. We are slowly expanding after nearly 10 years in the field. I started the company from scratch and currently do my own website design and SEO work. However, over the last couple of years I've lost the SEO connection due to being so darn busy. I started account here with SEO Moz in order to get the ball rolling again. We continually rank high for keywords, publish superb content by great writers, and overall are doing fine. I would just like to ensure this keeps happening and that we have an expert on board to help us in sustainable organic SEO practices. What I'd like to do is hire an SEO expert to help with our site. It might be part time (10 or so hours per week, perhaps?) Anyhow, I would like if this person used SeoMoz and really had their fingers on the pulse of the SEO world. I want all white-hat SEO, help with page optimization, internal link structure, and help getting quality external links. I know that over optimization is something that is now on the forefront of SEO work, so of course keeping this in mind helps. I would like to be kept up to date (perhaps weekly overviews of data and how we are doing) and am willing to make changes as quickly as needed on the site. I would like to see how we rank with competitors and what we need to do to stay on top - for the long term (no short sighted decisions). I want to learn as we progress, not because I want to do the SEO work myself, I just enjoy knowing what is going on. I will not micromanage. I am too busy for that : ) I am not sure what amount SEO experts are paid, but I have a slightly flexible budget. I really want someone will communicate when needed and is thorough in their responses. Attention to detail is a must. I would prefer an SEO expert located in the US but who also knows how to access / think about markets abroad (Canada/UK/Australia). I suppose we can discuss pay once I have a shortlisted group. I am looking to hire and work with someone starting pretty much immediately (even in May). For starters, I suppose our budget might be $500 to $1500 per month. For the first month or so, we might offer payment on a stipend basis just so we can ensure whoever is hired is the perfect fit. It would be great if this person had worked on travel sites before or has at least traveled abroad a few times. But, no worries either way. Thanks so much! Thomas at jbt@journeybeyondtravel.com
