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!

Local Vs Organic Search Keyword Ranking
This isn't a question. It's a simple suggestion that I'm hoping will inspire a change at Seomoz. I love what this site does. What it helps us do as community. What it helps us achieve collectively. This suggestion is based on that love... I think we all can agree that the rankings between local reviews and organic reviews are very different beasts entirely. They should then be treated this way within the Seomoz data with separate reports. The vast majority of reputable small businesses don't care about national rankings, but would rather get to the top of the local charts with their 5-star reviews. Can you imagine the power of a report that is dedicated to helping you shape your client's results to achieve this? I like seeing the results of local in the keyword report, but we need a report dedicated to local search to make a difference in our rankings. With all of the recent chatter on local search, I'm surprised this isn't already available.

Optimising for a specific location
Hello, I think I know the answer to this but I'm sure there's more to be told. If I optimised a site for a particular city and keyword, let say bespoke kitchens Edinburgh. Do I really need to add the Edinburgh word in if I am mentioning Edinburgh in a different context on other parts of the site? So I would just be using and optimising for bespoke kitchens which is a far easier phrase to fit organically into written text. The Edinburgh (location) word would be mentioned but in different sections of the text, I might even use Glasgow & Fife (other catchment area locations) Would search engines then still rank me for searches for "bespoke Kitchens" searched for by someone from Edinburgh or does it need to read "bespoke kitchens edinburgh"? Thanks for you help.

Issue with Opesiteexplorer report
Hi, When I pulled backlinks report for my website from opensite explorer. I see the backlinks listing for my homepage is duplicated with index page. Ex. For a external website my homepage www.website.com as well as www.website.com/index.php shows as backlinks. Note: I had given rel=canonical tag to my homepage and index.php is 301 redirection to the homepage. I find this error only to my homepage and I don't find this issue to my inner pages. I would like to know whether this is an issue with opensiteexplorer or a problem with my homepage url. Your answers are appreciated.

Keyword Difficulty Tool Problems?
I was just using the keyword difficulty tool and for some reason, some of the keywords show "not enough data"...I'm not sure why this is the case because a few days ago, there was data... Anyway, is this because it take time for the tool to gather data each month, or is it because there's an issue with the GoogleAPI? Thanks a lot for your help!

Crawl Diagnostics Report
I'm a bit concerned about the results I'm getting from the Crawl Diagnostics Report. I've updated the site with canonical urls to remove duplicate content and when I check the site - it all displays the right values, but the report, which has just finished crawling is still showing a lot of pages as duplicate content. Simple example: http://www.domain.com http://www.domain.com/ Both of them are in the duplicate content section although both have canonical url set as: Does each crawl check the entire site from the beginning or just the pages it didn't have a chance to crawl the last time? This is just one of 333 duplicate content pages, which have canonical url pointing to the right page. Can someone please explain?

I need a tool/tools to extract keywords from say 50 sites in one niche and then check the rank tor those sites
This is for telemarketing of seo services I want to have some insight into an industry before I call them could this be done with the adwords keyword tool api and then exported to excel. It would also be nice to have data on backlinks say from seo moz opensite explorer.. Its just that the research you do before you even call a potential client is so time consuming and you can never really check to see how they are ranking for there main keywords manually. We are trying to automate as much of this initial research as possible... Any Idea's Thanks
