Using Your 50 Monthly SERP Analysis Reports
-
Hi. I've been running analysis on a variety of keywords for a few of our clients and am noticing I'm going through our 50 monthly full SERP Analysis Reports pretty quickly.
While SEO is only a fraction of what we do, I know there are large SEO shops out there that must run a tremendous amount of analysis each month.
If you're running such analysis routinely, how do you manage with only 50 full SERP Analysis Reports each month? How do these reports fit into your workflow?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your reply Scott.
I generally run the full SERP Analysis to dive deeper into analyzing the likelihood we'll be able to rank for a given phrase. In the past I've found it useful to see the level of optimization for the top 10 pages as well as some metrics on the number of links coming in to those pages that are ranking. I weigh these against the domains and pages we're trying to rank to see how it looks.
We don't give this data directly to clients. We interpret the data and talk to them about their chances to rank for given phrases.

Honestly, I have not run that report in over a year myself. While it does provide interesting data, I'm interested to know what's the main reason you are running that report? Is it to show to clients to explain the possible difficultly associated with ranking a keyword, or some other reason?

The Pros & Cons of Free SEO Reports
Are the numerous Free SEO reports that are available around the internet, where I simply put a website address in and wait for the results actually any good? I tend to stick with Moz & Semrush which takes a little time pulling all the information I need together, but many of our clients are being approached by SEO's waving these free reports at them. Should I see these reports as valid, or ignore them and only concentrate on Moz. Any views will be greatly appreciated. -Christina

Is the Moz Ranking Report correct?
Hello here, today I got my weekly report from Moz by email and it reported a strong decline of rankings on some of our major keywords. Then I went to check on Google personally, and instead I found my pages ranked much higher than reported by Moz (please note that my results wasn't personalized...). I also use a desktop program to check my rankings, and what I found personally on Google corresponded to what my desktop program reported me. Here is an example: my website is virtualsheetmusic.com, and Moz reported a rank NOT in top 50 for the following keyword: "moonlight sonata sheet music" Whereas we are actually on the 19th spot. Another example for the keyword "czardas violin sheet music", Moz reports NOT in top 50, whereas we are actually at the 5th spot on the first page of Google results! Why's this? Anyone can explain? Is there anything wrong with Moz ranking report?

Dear Seomoz Community I check my Seomoz ranking from time to and today I saw a big discrepancy between the reported domains linking to my site in the Site Explorer and Google Webmaster tools. Seomoz reports 19 linking domains

Google shows 150 domains linking to my site. Is there an explanation for this discrepancy? Thank for helping me out 😉0 -
Anchor Text Report in Open Site Explorer
When downloading an anchor text report in OSE, there are very often a bunch or anchor texts at the end of the report that have 0 next to them (i.e. anchor texts that come from 0 domains and from 0 links - if you want a URL to run as an example try www.bbc.co.uk/sport/ and paginate your way to page 7) Surely it is not possible for an anchor text to be found on zero domains/links - so how should these zeros be interpreted? There are numerous different anchor texts showing these zero's. Thanks in advance for any responses.

OSE Backlink results - reported link not actually there?
Not a complaint, but a question to understand how the research tool operates: When I run backlink checks on websites, often the reported link is not only not on the page, but it's not found anywhere on the site. I use several tools to search for the link url as well as for the keyword. Why does the tool report a link is there, but I cannot find the links in some cases? Is there a lag in the information the tool is using, making it not quite up to date, or is it something else? Thanks much!
