Hi! This is a really great question.
I would highly recommend checking out one of our weekly webinars: http://www.seomoz.org/dp/wednesday-webinar with the Help team. Each week they cover a different topic and show you how to best use our tools. You'll get a chance to ask specific questions and get in-depth information.
Also, we have an extensive Help Hub that has lots of information on how to use the tools, why you should use them, etc. I'd check that out as well: http://www.seomoz.org/help.
I hope this helps get you started down the right path.
Thanks again for asking!

If using Google keyword research tool, one thing that you should definitely do is make sure you have exact match selected. When looking at the search volume for broad matches it often easy to put a lot of energy into something that looks like its a great keyword, but from what I have learned its a better approach to focus on keywords you have selected through exact matching.

Thank you Brian! I am going to read that now.
Hopefully it all makes sense afterwards.

Thank you Ben for your response. I am starting from the ground up so, im scratching my head on how to properly perform "keyword research"? smh...
I know about the google keyword tool, but i need to know how to best utilize the tool.
Thanks again - Nirav

- Do "keyword research" for your local area and industry
- Put those keywords into your SEO Moz Campaign
- Let SEO Moz crawl your site (Takes about a week)
- After SEO Moz has info on your site you can follow the tool tips they provide to get a better understanding of how it will help.
SEO is an ever evolving field and their are alot of things you can only pick up by getting involved in the community, testing, failing, improving, ect.
However SEO Moz is a great community and really helps cut down on the learning curb. If you have any questions feel free to ask me directly on this site, Twitter or Quora.

Your going to need to dig into learning SEO before the tools will be helpful to you. As Brian mentioned. Go to http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo and read that from beginning to end. This will give you the SEO basics.

Hi Nirav,
Have you read the "Beginner's Guide to SEO," here on the Moz site? It's a valuable step by step plan...
The tools here help you with every stage of the process, from crawl tests to backlink profiles (in Open Site Explorer) among other things. Within the Guide you'll see helpful tips directly related to tool usage.

Google analytics sync with SEOMOZ
Hey guys, I'm looking to sync our clients google analytic profiles to our clients campaigns in SEO MOZ. However all our clients google analytic profiles are on the one google account and not separate accounts. So I'm asking does SEO MOZ only allow you to grab the traffic data of one clients profile from a google account instead of multiple profiles from the same google account for different campaigns? If so has anybody got a workaround or any suggestions? If I haven't explained myself clearly let me know and I'll break it down further. Thanks again. Rob

Is there any way to manually initiate a crawl through SEOMoz?
... or do you actually have to wait a week for the next scheduled crawl date on a particular campaign? We've just made a ton of changes to our site, and it would be helpful to know if they will generate any warnings or errors sooner rather than later. Thanks!

SEOmoz bar causes FF to hang
I use FireFox as my browser on a Windows pc. When I close FF it rarely closes properly. The process is still visible in the task manager. I need to end the process to shut it down. After researching the issue I learned this problem is usually caused by an add-on. I disabled my add-ons one at a time and it is clearly the SEOmoz bar causing the issue. I can run every other add-on without any problem but if I use the mozbar but itself, the issue occurs. I plan to report this problem to the help desk but first I wanted to ask if others are experiencing the same issue. The more data that can be collected, the easier it will be to resolve the problem. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
