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.

Losing Rankings & Need Help
Hi Guys, I am not sure if anyone else is suffering from the July 4, 2013 update. I know many of us are awaiting to see what happens once the dust settles. I have a couple of issues/questions/statements below. This is the first time any Google update has every affected me negatively and I'd love some ideas or input. 1. I have ranked quite well for nearly 10 years for all my top keywords. Now, after this update, I am disappearing for my top keywords in the SERPS - definitely getting pushed to page two, etc. Can anyone help me discover the reasons? I have a great SEO expert helping me and I know quite a bit, but this has me baffled. My website is Journey Beyond Travel.com I have read MOZ's ranking factors for 2013 and also the recently published report from SearchMetrics. In the last few days, I've added more quality text to the homepage and shortened my page title on the homepage (although Google has been changing my homepage browser title to put my brand name first in the title - and they haven't for my competitors). Over the past few months, I've really cleaned up my link profile to the best of my ability. I've never really taken part in any negative or black-hat practices. I am trying to get more links that use my 'brand' name rather than exact anchor text. I believe I have a natural profile - any thoughts? 2. One thing I notice is the higher ranking of larger brands now (at least in my field). Just because a domain with higher authority creates one page of content, how can that outrank me? I mean, I've got ten years and 600+ darn good articles of content on my website. How can one domain that is very 'general' (for example, well known in the world of travel and not specialized or niche like mine) outrank me? How can it be that Google allows larger brands to outrank smaller ones just because they have more backlinks and domain authority, but no real content to support these pages? Is content truly king? I am thinking about an article: "Google, Brands, and the Death of Small Business Online." Anyone wish to collaborate here? I am not being hatelful or resentful, but I foresee the day when an 'alternative' search engine emerges, doesn't allow crap ads, allows users more flexibility, and brings search to the next level. Not all of us want the big brands and are searching for alternatives that stand out. I ignore them when I am searching mostly. Any thoughts or elaborations? Thanks!

Results of keyword rankings way off??
I just did my first crawl, and a bunch of the keywords show my rank as being like 76 or 102 and I'm number 1 for the search when I search manually. **I of course have personal results turned off and I'm not logged into gmail when I search.

Does anyone know why some keyword rankings go from nowhere in the top 50 to ranking 1st to then nowhere in the top 50 in the space of 3 weeks?
SEOMOZ told me to ask the question here because they say their ranking programme now works correctly and the problems I was having before with keywords changing so dramatically, even though nothing had been changed with regards to optmisation, is now to do with google rather than their ranking tool do google really change their algorithms on a weekly basis so that rankings can go up by more than 50 to ranking 1st to then going down by more than 50? Any hints or tips from anyone on I can keep the rankings more consistent (maybe dropping or increasing by one or two places week by week rather than changing by over 50 positions?)

Historical data in rank report not matching summary?
I got a new rank report today. For a lot of keywords in Yahoo and Bing it is saying things like >49 etc. When I hover over it, it tells me that these are new keywords for me that I didn't rank for before. When I look at the historical graph for those specific engines though it just shows me going back at the same position historically. For example like position 17 going back many months without change. Can anyone tell me what is up with that?
