Local SEO Rankings Report Tools (based on several locations)?
-
Hi,
Just a quick question.
I am looking for a Rankings Report tool that allows a user to not only provide a list of Keywords, but also a list of Locations for which to check Google UK's ranking results.
In practice, I would like to be able to enter 6 names of Towns next to my keyword list and get "localised results".
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers
Greg
PS: first Q within the Q&A, so please apologise for any potential "stupid questions" -
Thanks for clarifying things! It can look a bit odd to come to a two-year-old question on the day you join and have a link to a product with no context.

Pardon me Keri it's late and I forgot my manners!
made an edit in the comment to correct this. Thanks! -
Hi Ryan,
Welcome to Moz! I noticed your profile has Report Pro in it. If you're affiliated with a product you're recommending, it's a good policy to please disclose that in your answer. Thanks!

It sounds like the multi-location reporting your asking for here is close to what Report Pro does. Check it out here: https://reportpro.net/landing-page/
Edit: Full disclosure I have been good friends with the Report Pro guys for a long time and I have been helping them build out their reporting software.
They originally helped me build Local SEO (Google Maps) reporting software for Voice Media Group and are now selling it to other local SEO companies. -
I know this thread is a couple of years old, but I see you're still active here on the site, and wanted to let you know we now have a ranking tracking solution! Details are in our blog post at http://moz.com/blog/local-rankings-in-moz-analytics.

Hi Paul,
Just looked at some old Q&A of mine...
Whitespark.ca now offer a Local Rank Tracker
https://www.whitespark.ca/rank-trackerA bit pricey but does the job.

Hi Paul,
Many thanks for your feedback. This confirms what I thought...
Proxies are obviously a simple but not easily scalable solution for whomever would want to create such a Rankings Report tool.
Looking forward to seeing somebody come up with a solution to this.
Cheers

The method Megan's suggesting would only provide info in cases where the searcher actually included the geographic modifier as one of the search terms, Gregory.
In order for a tool to provide the info as you want it, it would need to be maintaining proxies in all the possible cities one might want to get "local" search data from (i.e. search results as if the search was triggered from someone in that actual location.)
I'm not aware of any tool that provides that kind of data. I too would love to hear if anyone knows of such a thing.

Hi Megan,
Many thanks for your feedback.
Hmmm, can you please confirm that this would equate to having your browser (Google UK) set to this specific location? I have trouble believing that just adding the name of the city would generate similar results to actually doing a mobile search while in that specific city?
Again, many thanks in advance for your feedback...
Cheers

Hi Greg! This is Megan from the SEOmoz help team. If you start a campaign, our rankings section can track local rankings for keywords. You would just need to enter the keywords separately with each of the towns you're interested in. For example, if I wanted to track local rankings for 'pizza' in different cities in the Northwest, I would need to enter the keywords like the following:
portland pizza
seattle pizza
olympia pizza
tacoma pizza
Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with other tools that will track local rankings, but hopefully this will help!
Cheers!

Should I use location in keywords in a campaign?
We're setting up 25 campaigns for clients and many of the keywords in each are identical. Rather than creating a keyword with a specific location for each client (pool builder san francisco), would it be more effective to use only "pool builder" as the keyword and then set the location for the San Francisco area? I'm concerned that we are going to run out of our keyword allotment since many of our clients have multiple locations.

Question about SEO and domains
Hello, Over time we have purchased many domain names that relate to our business. Let us say we sell chairs of type A, chairs of type B, Tables of Type C etc. We also have a main web site (main domain) which has been functioning for many years and is ranked well but not great. Since we have domain chairtypeA.com and chairtypeB.com I was thinking of putting them to good use as follows. STRATEGY A a) Create the domain as a parallel domain but is mainly informational - it talks about chair type A, its history, what to look for etc. It has the same IP address as main domain b) Have all the links on the page be directly linked to the MAIN site- so if you are on page for ChairtypeA and want to see it in a set you just click a link and it takes you to the main site. c) The look and feel of the ChairtypeA site is exactly the same as the main site - in fact except for the Heading, title and content the whole framework is from the main site. My hope is that if people are looking for chairtypeA, we would rank and attract customers. Plus it would use up some of the domain names we have purchased. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE (Strategy B) is a) Create a domain for chairtypeA parallel to main domain (same IP address) b) redirect it to subfolder in main domain c) refer to the pages also as maindomain/chairtypeA (here is where it is no longer purely parallel) I have 3 objectives a) Use my purchased domain names b) Focus on certain products (liek ChairtypeA) c) Overall increase visibility and ranking Please give me any feedback which indicates whether Strategy A or Strategy B is more effective, or if any has negative consequences. Or you could suggest Strategy C - a completely new approach. Thanks Sam

How do i target keywords locally
I am working for a cosmetic surgeon with clinics in three geographic places. I would like to give him specific keywords that he can go after successfully. When I use the keyword tool with terms like botox cosmetic staten island or breast augmentation tarrytown, I get competitive rankings like 36% or 37%, but it doesnt tell me if there are only a few searchers doing this per month. In Google's Adwords tool, it thinks that the number fo searchers with these same terms is too small to measure, literally giving me back a dash (= insignificant traffic). However, it I use Google Adwords with more general terms, say breast augmentation surgeon, and get a medium/110 global monthly searches, when I come back to SEOmoz tool and assess the same keyword, I find that the traffic picks up doctor sites in Arizona and elsewhere, where clearly no one who wants cosmetic surgery in new York is going to fly to Arizona for it. So, how do I ensure a balance between targeting too little traffic but including the names of specific towns, and targetting more general terms but not having local prospects. Has anyone tackled this in a specific medical niche?

SEOmoz ranking report SERP
I was wondering how SEOmoz the SERPs tracks? e.g. the SERP of keyword in the Google US report, doesn't give me the same result as https://www.google.com/search?pws=0&gl=us&q=keyword Does SEOmoz check the google.com SERPs from several locations and calculate an average?

Rank tracker based on personalization or not?
I have been using the rank tracker to update clients on their current positions/improvements etc. but have been told a number of times now that the results they were seeing were not the same. Does the rank tracker work by giving results based off my location or from somewhere else or what? I should mention that I am based in Malta and my clients are based in the UK and Italy (with their sites being optimized for local keywords) I also ask them to clear their browsing history and to restart their browser before they check.

Any ideas about using research tools data to create client interest in dedicating marketing spend on SEO services vs their other current antiquated marketing methods?
I consult in the dental industry. Many professionals in this industry are operating in the dark ages when it comes to marketing. Any ideas about using research tools data to create client interest in dedicating marketing spend on SEO services vs their other current antiquated marketing methods? I am approaching potential clients to pitch SEO. They aren't necessarily seeking SEO services currently but have a strong marketing budget. I would like to use seomoz tools data about their site and competitors as way to show possibilities/potential of SEO services to gain interest in further discussion of SEO benefits.
