Rankings in Google UK
-
Hi everyone,
I've posted before on this and I'm still not satisfied that the answer is correct.
Basically, my ranking report is saying that hardly any of my keywords are ranking in the top 50 of Google UK.
Now, I appreciate that rankings can be affected by my search history, but I've tried other computers, other IP addresses, logged out of Google, cleared cache etc.. and I'm still seeing the terms I'm wanting to rank for on the first and second pages of Google UK.
What is going on? My boss is wanting to see progress with these terms - I'm confident that we're ranking well, but the report is saying otherwise.
-
My UK rankings are also all over the place. I cannot use SEOmoz reports for clients at the moment, it is very annoying. I had this problem a few months ago and then it was resolved, but the last two months reports have been incorrect for quite a few keywords.
-
Hey there,
Sorry about the confusing rankings!
I am going to migrate this over to ZenDesk and answer you there, since I will need to get some private information about your campaigns to be able to look into this for you.
Thanks,
Chiaryn

I'm not sure if I understood the problem correctly, but if you're still seeing your site on the first page of Google UK results and the report says that it doesn't show up for the given keywords in the top 50 then it its most probably due to your geo location and the fact that your business is closest for a given keyword to where you are browsing from.
In the left column of the google window you should see a few options - one of them should say : The web > Pages from the UK - if you try to click on 'Pages from the UK' and see if that solves the problem.

If you try SEOMoz's Rank tool(http://www.seomoz.org/rank-tracker), it is showing you correctly. I'd use that to manualy get your rankings for your upcoming report.
The tracker and reports are only run once a week, so they will probably reflect you correctly at that time as well.
What's most likly to have happoned is that when it was last checking your position in the SERPs fluxuated and it missed you. We've had a page or two drop out of the rankings briefly at times and it isn't something to worry about unless it persists.
-
Well I'm confident of the spelling and I'm definitely using Google UK. I suspect it's to do with the fact that we're a global company and I'm trying to rank for the UK part of the site (columbusglobal.com/en-GB).
We appear to be ranking for the UK page as is seen in the SERPs, so maybe something is wrong with how SEOMoz is set up to track the UK specific pages...?
The odd thing is when I first started we appeared to be ranking well and reports reflected this. Now the site has disappeared off the reports.
-
I know people in england at least use google UK. Not sure who uses GB
The rank tracker is showing you at position 5 as well, so presuming your report/campaign is set up correctly, it should show it as that after your next crawl.
If it's not, your likely problems are a mispelling, the wrong engine being used, or the campaign is set up for a certain sub-domain and the other sub-domain is apearing in the results.
Hopefully that should clear everything up. If not I'll try to answer all I can. Best of luck beating justfooderp.com... (Who probably didn't notice the 'derp' in their url)
-
Thanks for looking and yes we're position 5 - as expected.
I noticed there is Google United Kingdom and Google Great Britain.

SERPS for Food ERP softwere look like this to me. I do not know which site is yours, but if it's here, then it's possable that either the report/campaign is set up wrong, or at the exact time that the report was last made, the results fluxuated. Try using the rank tracker tool to get a fresh result (remember to change it to google uk and check 'Check Entire Subdomain'<label for="engine"></label>).

Thanks for your tip!
I've just tried Chrome in Incognito mode and straight away I'm seeing my site rank on page 1.
These are some of the terms. can you see them on Google UK?

Most of those methods are not foolproof. Using other computers, IP adreses and clearing your search history are not going to get you de-personalised results.
If you're going to look yourself, start a new 'incognito' window in Google Crome, and you should get completely de-personalised results.
If your still showing on page 1, double check your report. Make sure the search engine is set to google UK, and thta you are using the keyword exactly (letter for letter)
If all that fails, if your willing to provide the keyword, Someone here could probably try to confirm what you are experiancing.

Unsolved Ranking not collecting keywords
Hi, we recently migrated our blog to be on the same domain as our main website. It's been about a month. I have continued adding more keywords we'd like to track to our Ranking list on Moz. But it's been a week and the keywords are still not collecting. Is this something we need to fix on our end, or is there something going on with Moz? keyword ranking issues.png

Errors in my coding how significant is this regarding rankings ?
I posted a question on here yesterday about the homepage asking for advice regarding the content and then was told by two people were very helpful bbut moved over comment not on content but to say taht the major problem was that the coding on my website basically has too many errors which would result in me receiving lower rankings in the search engines. I realise this website is old-fashioned Dreamweaver template which was constructed several years ago which I've updated and I'm certainly not a professional, but I watch my Google analytics and there doesn't seem to be any significant change in the stats from this time last year. This is the site http://www.endeavourcottage.co.uk/ I realise the site is old format and has been around for several years it's just from customer feedback they seem to think it looks okay for the products old cottages but I guess technically it's not the best now. I have run a test using Silktide Nibbler - a free online service that gives you a good complete overview of your website with an overall score. And it did give my website an overall good score but did point out errors in the coding but when I checked some of my competitors near the top of Google for the short tail keywords some of them also have errors in their coding, very similar to my own error score.. I then went to Google Webmaster tools and there were no warning messages. So the big question is how important are these errors scores when it appears that most of the top competition also are in the same situation? I think it's quite possible I could do with a redesign using responsive design Best Alan

SEO Moz Rank Report
Anyone else noticing the rank reporting seems to be off? My reports are showing "not in top 50" for some keywords that my site is on page one for. Not in places listings either because I know that can throw things off! Anyone?

Why am I getting different ranking results on Google?
Because the rank checker on SEOMOZ is temporarily down for upgrade, I followed the link over to the other suggested rank checker on seobook.com which installs a plug-in to Firefox and it seems to be working fine….BUT my question is when I check out my two highest traffic keywords which are “Whitby holiday cottages” and “Whitby cottages” against my website www.endeavourcottage.co.uk it tells me I'm ranking position 2 on both Google.com and Google.co.uk but I don't think I am. When I do the same check using a proxy server called hidemyass.com to check my rankings again on Google.co.uk and .com I appeared to be lower down the rankings like position 8. Does anyone have any idea of which is the accurate reference to my rankings? What do you do to check your rankings ? And one last quick secondary question is when I searching Google chrome using same key words again I come at the top position A on the Google maps listing but using Firefox or Internet Explorer there is no Google maps visible ways that? At the end of the day out rankings are important but where are working towards more traffic...... Cheers

Insights about Google penalties?
I signed up for seomoz pro hoping to get some insight as to why my website selftherapy.org has virtually disappeared from google, but all the site reports I've run look fine. Are there any resources that might help here? I suspect that an seo company's low quality link campaign may have hurt me, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know of a method of locating low quality / harmful links?

Why are the rankings of my keywords different to rankings from other programmes such as 'Access my Lan' and 'Firefly'? Does SEOMoz count 'Google Places and Maps' in their rank count? Im thinking this could explain the difference

Yo-Yo-ing rankings - what's going on?
I'm getting a little fed up and exasperated - if I'm honest! Our seoMoz rankings are yo-yoing on a weekly basis - extremely. One week we're in the top 3, the next week, we're not in the top 50. The week after that, we're back in the top 3. Then we're outside the top 50 again. I understand rankings go up and down sometimes - but this is every week, without fail. Not only that, but I also check my rankings with cuteRank and Firefox's Rank Checker and while those rankings are consistent with each other - seoMoz's rankings are always different and the only ones that Yoyo. Further, it's not just our rankings that Yoyo - it's those of our competitors too. They follow the same pattern except that when we go up, they go down, and vice versa, I'm just a little lost and unsure what to do, and I can't believe really that this is a true reflection of what is happening to us on Google every week. I know rankings change but surely Google aren't throwing us around like this? It is making doing any SEO on the site impossible because I never know where I stand. Any ideas or help would be wonderful. Thanks.
