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.

How I plan to go about getting business - what do you think?
I prepared a real professional looking website analysis packet. The emphasis is on it being VERY professional and classy, nothing cheesy about it. (If you want a copy send me a p.m. and I will email you one). It will take me about 8 minutes to look at their site and run it through a couple tools and and have a quick list of things that are missing. Another 10 minutes for my office manager to edit the template and print a good looking copy. My plan is to take out and deliver about 10 of these a day and call and follow up on them over the phone. My hope is that when they see the quality and professionalism of the report the chances are low it gets thrown in the trash and when I call I have a REASON to call and not some random idiot cold calling. **What do you think? Any suggestions? ** I have a lot of sales background and don't mind talking to people and I know the key will be in FOLLOWING UP which is what MOST people are NOT willing or able to bring themselves to do. I realize that giving away a 'free' report may devalue what I have to offer in some peoples minds...... thought about that. I am just getting started and only have a few clients but I HAVE produced great things for those few but I need to get the ball rolling a little quicker. Thanks for weighing in with your two cents! 🙂 Have an AWESOME week! Matthew

SEOmoz Toolbar - Am I the only one who figured this out?
I have been using the SEOmoz toolbar for a while. In the course of a day, and with so many projects going on I end up having about 15-20 tabs in Firefox open at once. Because of the toolbar, my browsing session slows to a crawl and I hate to disable the toolbar because then I have to shut down the 10 projects I am working on. I usually close down my browser when I can't take it anymore and it feels like I am browsing on my 1990's palm device. What I decided to do is install the toolbar on Google Chrome. I don't use this browser very often so now whenever I need to check out a website, I just use Chrome instead of Firefox. Maybe there is a way to turn off the toolbar that I don't know about. Any other toolbar tips?

Can I get a list of all links on a given domain?
Sorry, this is actually kind of a tripartite question: I was looking at the Competitive Link Analysis on one my clients' campaigns. Sometime between June and September their total links went up by about 120,000. We have no idea where those links came from (although the numbers would indicate that they're mostly internal). Question 1: In none of the other tools can I figure out how to list these links on a domain level. Is there a way to get a list of all links for our given domain? I've been playing around with the page-by-page and even that doesn't show me everything. For example, I'm looking at OSE for their homepage and it lists 45 links for a page that it claims has 151 total. Question 2: How did it pick those 45 to display out of the 151 possible? If these are only external links, why do half of them come from one of our subdomains? Also... Question 3: If our client hasn't made any major changes recently, why has the number of internal links gone up so dramatically? Thanks.

Can SEOMOZ do Local SEO ?
Most of our clients are local but we can not get local or regional (for example VA State or Washington DC) SERP results within SEOMOZ. it would be nice to create custom search profiles based on region (State or County) and track SERP within SEOMOZ. Ranking reports and even keyword difficulty analysis etc. within SEOMOZ are misleading for local web sites. SEOMOZ default site setup assumes every business doing SEO serves all over the US. I think it will be very beneficial if we have a choice to select State or County of local web sites during initial campaing set up at SEOMOZ. what do you think? do you know any work around of this problem? Thanks,

SEOMoz Pro and Multiple Niche Sites
Currently I have 15 affiliate marketing sites and three blogs which are monetized. My budget dictates the base pro package so may I get some recommendations on how or if I can do analysis over time for all the sites. I ask this because it seems you would set your campaigns for long-term but I imagine you delete/modify/add campaigns to analyze different key words. Thanks for your help.
