Why is Semoz sending me the wrong data

[ClaireH-184886]

Hi i am very puzzled, i have just got a report saying about my keywords and the data seems to be wrong.It says that my keyword gastric band hypnotherapy is ranked at 9 but when i check online it is ranked at one. When i put in anger management therapy it says it is ranked at 25 but it is ranked at 10

Can anyone please explain what is going on. the url is www.clairehegarty.co.uk

thanks Kerri. I will get in touch if I have the problem next time the rankings are checked.

This is an older thread, and it's probably best to either start your own thread, or email help@seomoz.org directly and we can help you that way. Thanks!

Hi Tim

I just googled "semoz reporting wrong data" and found this thread. I'm finding the same problems with a client of mine. Seomoz ranking report is way off what the real rankings are. To put the personalised search theory to bed I rung a friend at the other end of the country to run a search on a couple of keywords and he reported the same rankings as mine and not the ones SEOmoz is reporting.

Very puzzling indeed.

did anyone from SEOmoz get back to you?

Thanks

Anthony

i have not been using the difficulty tool, i have just been working on keywords that i need customers to find so they come to my site.

Thanks for checking the gastric band hypnotherapy for me, it has left me puzzled why the report above says i am not at number one, very strange. will send an email to customer services on here and find out why it has gone wrong.

Hi Diane

How are you doing on the exact same keywords on the Keyword Difficulty tool?

Searching on clean browser (from Denmark), you're #1 on google on the term:

gastric band hypnotherapy

[ClaireH-184886]

i have just used the rank checker and it is bringing me the restuls that i can see when i search google. this is strange as the semoz rank checher tells me that my keyword gastric band hypnotherapy is number one but the above information tells me it is number nine

[ClaireH-184886]

i have tried doing what it says on the link but still getting same results. can anyone please put into google uk gastric band hypnotherapy and let me know what the top three results are.

and also can anyone let me know even though i have followed the above advice on the link why i am getting the same results please

Most likely your data is the ones that are incorrect. SEOmoz brings back non personalized, non location based results...

Hi Diane,

First of all my question is: how are you searching for your terms? - I have got a feeling you have personalized search.

Read through the following article to clear the difference and how to search non personalized: http://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/non-personalized-search-google-global-results-chrome-1201/

I hope this helps a little-bit

Gr.,
